Our concept assigns a numeric value to each player profile based on player in-game performance – injured or not. The UPM scoring baseline is 44. A player of this caliber scores 30 or more points weekly, which has never happened since we started tracking NFL in-game production 11 years ago. However, Aaron Rodgers came in as our Ultimate Playmaker for 2011 with a rating of 37 for Points Per Receptions (PPR) and 41 for Standard Scoring (STD) format. In order to achieve, a rating of 41 (STD) this is what Aaron Rodgers accomplished – 533 total Fantasy Points, 20 or greater fantasy points 15 times, and 30 or greater 12 times. Now that is a Stud with Dominate Statistics!<\/p>

      What is the UPM Drafting Concept?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

      The UPM concept gives you the information needed to select players who are trending up, we call this the break-out value. Our principle of drafting is to identify those players trending up. Players trending up tend to produce at higher percentages. When you select break-out candidates you can have multiple players simultaneously having career years. For Example,<\/em> Our Analysis of the QB position over the last 5 years had several players who had bounce-back seasons, meaning players coming off a year where they only produced half of their normal in-game production. We suggest caution in selecting players in their bounce-back seasons because their value is not as strong as those players who have the – BREAK OUT VALUE.<\/p>
