Game flow is one of the most underrated aspects of fantasy. Projected average game flow can factor into season-long decisions — such as drafting running backs from teams expected to hold large leads often — and game flow is one of the most important facts in DFS.

When a team is trailing by a certain amount of points, it is more likely to pass than when it is leading by that same amount of points. This isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s interesting to see it in graph form.
