Weekly Process

1. update data/needUpdateProjections with projections csv from roto/fantasydata
2. update data/needUpdateHistoricalFloor with csv from current year to include previous week's outcome data from fantasydata
3. update momentum from previous week's results with csv from fantasydata
4. check config.py to create overrides/adjust different variations of lineups
5. run start.py

Data Flow

1. historicalFloor.py runs to generate a dataframe with the most up to date historical floor data for each player
2. momentum.py runs to generate a dataframe with the most up to date momentum scores for each player
3. inputDataRaw.py runs consuming dataframes generated from steps 1/2 and weekly updated csvs in data/needUpdateProjections generating an aggregate dataframe with all raw data necessary to generate lineups
4. inputDataProcessed.py runs with specific parameters passed in from config.py which includes a. lineupConfig - determines which variations of point projection type (floor, momentum, avg, all) and filtering (qb salary/value cap) to use when generating lineups to test different methods against each other b. preProcessConfig - modifiable paramters for filtering (qb salary/value cap)

These paramters are used to create a dataframe with a specific type of projection (floor, momentum, avg, all) and players filtered or not-filtered, which is then fed into optimizer.py

5. optimizer.py takes the input from step 4 and generates an optimal lineup and creates a csv for each in data/projections so we can analyze performance and for recordkeeping

Note: step 5 may run multiple times to generate multiple lineups based on the lineupConfig length in config.py

Strategies

1. Average: Take average projected scores from Rotowire and FantasyData.
2. QB Cap: Capping QB salary
3. Floor: Incorporating 75% confidence interval lower bound as the floor for player selection
4. Momentum: Momentum is defined as number of games a player exceeded projections divided by total number of games played. This metric is calculated from the 2019 - Present seasons. Must recalculate weekly (e.g. Week 5 stats used to update momentum score for Week 6). Players with a momentum score > 0.5 recieve a multiplier > 1.
5. Touches/Targets: NOT IMPLEMENTED
