The Better Than Average (BTA) rankings are a very interesting tool because it measures exactly how well a player produced fantasy points last year compared to all others in his position given the unique schedule that he faced. While Consistency Rankings measures how often players exceed certain thresholds, BTA measures how well a player did compared to all others in his position who faced a particular NFL defense. An easy schedule could result in a great Consistency Rankings and yet not as good a BTA ranking if other players did even better against those same defenses. More interestingly, BTA shows how well a player did even when he had a bad schedule because it is not looking for a threshold of fantasy points but instead just a comparison.
BTA is created by sorting the fantasy points allowed by each defense for each position. A standard performance scoring scenario was used awarding 1/10 points per yard rushed or received, 1/20 passing yards and six point touchdowns other than three point passing scores. It measures what defenses allowed - a more accurate picture of how well a player did.
