League Selection Based on Power Rankings

Think about that last sentence again: There should be a positive correlation between a player’s scarcity at his position and your exposure to him in a given week. In my hypothetical example with Brady rated well ahead of the other passers, we’d surely want a good portion of our money on teams with Brady as the signal-caller. But that creates volatility; if Brady flops that week, you could lose a lot of cash.

That’s the reason that the nature of your power rankings should affect your league selection. If you remember from the chapter on selecting league types, certain sorts of leagues can be far more volatile than others. If you placed Brady and a handful of other players on the same teams in a bunch of 50/50 leagues and those guys end up underperforming, there’s a good chance you’d be losing a lot of money. Meanwhile, you could minimize the damage by playing more heads-up leagues.

The degree of scarcity in your power rankings should affect the diversity of your lineups, which should in turn alter how you set up your leagues. Without an abundance of scarce players, you can “diversify your player portfolio,” so to speak, and perhaps take on more variance in your league selection.
