Other BTA Positions: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
Better Than Average (BTA) was developed to show how players truly rank between themselves by looking at every game from 2009 and for each defense and determining three things:
"8" - Which players scored in the top 8 game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense to a particular position. Basically, which players had an above average performance (top 8 in a 16 game season) that a defense gave up.
"4" - Which players scored in the top 4 game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense.
"1" - Who had the most fantasy points scored in a game against each defense last season. There could only by 32 such events since each defense can only allow one "best game".
BTA - Simply adding up the 1, 4 and 8 values to arrive at a numerical expression of how effective a running back truly was last year against all other players in his position. The ease or strength of schedule doesn't matter. Only what a player did against all other players in that position against that defense.
