FTN Network, a data-driven sports platform, has announced a significant update to its StatsHub tool, coinciding with the start of the NFL playoffs. The company is offering free access to the enhanced tool during NFL Wild Card Week, from January 7 to January 13, providing users with an opportunity to explore its advanced features.
The updated StatsHub aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of player and team performance, challenging traditional narratives that often rely on basic statistics. The tool now includes an expanded range of datapoint categories, such as efficiency, coverage, alignment, air yards, deep receiving, usage, run types, red zone, tendencies, deep passing, and pressure metrics.
Frank Brank, Chief Data Officer at FTN, emphasized the tool’s versatility, stating, ‘StatsHub is incredibly versatile and can be used to reinforce a trend you’ve noticed, push you to make smarter waiver wire decisions, or be the driving force behind placing more strategic bets.’ Brank also highlighted the superiority of FTN’s database, suggesting that it offers unparalleled depth and quality in the sports analytics market.
The update introduces a more organized breakdown of FTN’s advanced statistics, with a particular focus on the company’s proprietary DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) metric. This reorganization aims to provide clearer distinctions between different types of data, such as efficiency and tendency metrics, making it easier for users to navigate and interpret the information.
Perry Gershon, Chief Executive Officer at FTN, commented on the expansion, noting that it will ‘provide more visibility for our charted data.’ Gershon also emphasized the competitive pricing of the platform compared to similar offerings in the market.
The enhancement of StatsHub comes at a crucial time in the NFL season, with the playoffs set to begin. The tool’s comprehensive data, gathered over the 18-week regular season, offers valuable insights for those looking to gain an edge in fantasy leagues, sports betting, or simply to deepen their understanding of the game.
For sports enthusiasts, the free trial during Wild Card Week presents an opportunity to test the capabilities of StatsHub without financial commitment. Users can access the tool by setting up an FTN account through the company’s website.
The expansion of StatsHub reflects the growing importance of advanced analytics in sports consumption, whether for entertainment, fantasy sports, or betting purposes. By offering a more sophisticated toolset, FTN Network is positioning itself at the forefront of the sports data industry, catering to a diverse audience ranging from casual fans to professional analysts.
As the NFL playoffs unfold, StatsHub’s enhanced features could prove particularly valuable for those seeking to make informed decisions based on in-depth statistical analysis. The tool’s ability to provide context beyond traditional box scores may offer users a significant advantage in understanding team and player performance as the stakes increase in the postseason.
