What it is
Advanced fantasy NBA rankings using category scarcity, Z-scores, and punt strategy analysis
Fantasy GOATs is a fantasy basketball analytics tool focused on accurate player valuation across all standard NBA fantasy categories. It goes beyond basic per-game averages by using Z-scores and category scarcity to show a player’s true fantasy impact, helping managers understand which stats actually move the needle in competitive leagues.
How it works
The platform analyzes player performance across nine standard categories and converts them into Z-scores that reflect how rare and valuable each stat is within the fantasy ecosystem.
Users can connect Yahoo Fantasy data, filter rankings by time range, position, or team, and explore tools like punt strategy analysis, matchup comparisons, and schedule-based insights to optimize roster construction and waiver decisions.
