Mid-season check-in: Using red zone offensive data to find Fantasy value
Top-ranked Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs digs into red zone data to offer Fantasy takeaways at every position


If you're working on DFS lineups or getting started on your weekly research for season-long decisions or prop betting, you need to see what SportsLine Fantasy analyst Jacob Gibbs has to say. Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.
Now, Gibbs has analyzed the red zone data for every NFL team to get a better idea of how teams want to attack when in scoring distance, which teams have been lucky or unlucky in finding the end zone, and how we can use this information to give us an edge when targeting players in Fantasy or DFS play.
One situation that clearly stood out during his research was the Denver Broncos. "Denver has only scored a touchdown on 21% of red zone appearances," Gibbs said. "The next-lowest rate is 39%. No team had a rate lower than 45% in 2021. There's massive positive regression coming for this offense."
So which teams are killing it in the red zone? And which players are set up for positive regression? ... Join SportsLine here to see Jacob Gibbs' full analysis, all from one of the nation's most accurate experts!
