fantasy football just got a lot easier.

The Coachspeak Index was created to combat a problem that has been plaguing fantasy football since its inception. All reliability gauges and analysis provided by The Coachspeak Index are powered by our database, which took two years and 2,000+ hours to build.

  • The Coachspeak Index only deals with coachspeak that would influence the public — basically, any quote from a head coach that leads us to believe something has a greater than 50% chance of happening. Coachspeak like “we hope he’ll play this week,” or “there’s a chance he’ll be our starter” may be logged in our database as reference points, but they don’t contribute to a coach’s reliability rating.

  • Every piece of coachspeak is weighted differently, based on how accurate or misleading the coachspeak was.

  • In a vacuum, a 65% reliability rating is the danger zone, 75% is cautiously optimistic territory, and 85% is when we start feeling confident in a coach's actionable coachspeak.

  • Our database includes the last eight years of coachspeak data for every NFL head coach.
