In fantasy football, knowledge is power. The more research you do, the more you learn about the teams and players, the better equipped you are to win your game and championship. The single most important piece of information that you can have is game flow. How will any particular NFL matchup play out. If you can properly identify and predict game flow, you will be a constant champion in fantasy football.

But predicting game flow is not easy. In fact, its much harder than trying to predict just the outcome. Anybody can throw out a final score or identify a spread and pick a direction to go. But game flow means you understand what each team is trying to do and how they will go about trying to achieve those goals.

In order to help predict game flow it is imperative to know what the strengths and weaknesses are of each team. Once you understand this you can begin to understand just how each team is going to attack.

The following is a breakdown of each teams current NFL ranking in 31 basic and advanced statistics. When put against each other like this you can start to see just what each team’s strengths and weaknesses are. Once we see this we can derive what the likely game plan of each squad will be and then finally which players will benefit from that plan.

Here is the Key for what all the stats are:
