Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2022 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan.There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most.

He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts:How analytics professionals can overfit data and the value of accounting for uncertainty in football.
Where Matt accounts for uncertainty in his scouting process.Terry McClaurin: A player type that Matt believes he'll miss on again in the near future if another like him comes along.
Dalvin Cook: A player type Matt believes he's more likely to identify with certainty.
