Research

Welcome to the Winners Research Lab. FF4W's advice is evidence-based. We challenge conventional wisdoms and establish new ones through comprehensive, data-driven analyses not found on any other site. We have shared much of this information in our daily columns for nearly a decade. But we want to make it available to everyone in one, easy-to-access location. Because if we can make people even a little bit savvier about fantasy drafting and roster management, we're doing our job.
