How do you use this data?

Tiebreakers for your 2019 drafts. Between 2 near ADP ranked players select their schedule type for breaking ties
Late Sleepers work better for your team coming from an easy schedule team.
Early dynasty/keeper/redraft Player Trades can be modified based on these metrics.
A simple guide for Best Ball groupings. Some players like to corner the “positional market” from selected teams. I suggest these metrics help drive that process. ie All major RBs from SEA (Carson/Penny) or from BAL (Ingram, Edwards Dixon, etc)
