The most important note for StatHero is their scoring system. It’s different from what you’re likely used to, and we need to note what the most important aspects are. Quarterbacks are far and away the most important position, specifically passing yards. They get 0.05 fantasy points for every 1 passing yard compared to only 0.1 fantasy points per 1 rushing or receiving yard. For instance, a quarterback would receive 15 fantasy points for 300 yards passing. He would need 3.75 passing touchdowns to reach that. Running backs and receivers would need 150 yards to hit that number. They would need 2.5 touchdowns to score 15 fantasy points.
Tight ends are another major part of their scoring. They receive 1.5 fantasy points per reception while running backs and wide receivers only receive 1 fantasy point per reception. With StatHero’s current scoring system, it could be a key to stack a team with a dominant quarterback and tight end pairing to go along with the other options on the offense.
The final scoring that could make or break your lineup is the distance bonus. Quarterbacks receive a slightly smaller bonus for long passing touchdowns, while running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends get a bit more of a bonus for touchdowns. Ultimately, you want touchdowns to come from 10+ yards out, which is the distance the bonus’ starts at.

Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson/D.K. Metcalf/Tyler Lockett
Wilson’s cooled off in recent weeks, but he’s still enjoying an elite season. Through 12 games, he owns 3,479 yards and 32 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He’s quietly rank for 424 yards and 1 touchdown this season. Wilson’s thrown for 4+ touchdowns in 4 of his 12 games in 2020. He gets an elite matchup against the New York Jets this weekend. New York is allowing 291.0 passing yards per game and 8.2 adjusted yards per game. They’ve also given up 24 passing touchdowns. The Seattle Seahawks are 13.5 point favorites in a game set at 47 points, giving them one of the highest implied team totals on the slate at 30.3 points.
Metcalf’s the lead receiver for Seattle, playing 96% of the offensive snaps this season. He’s broken out with 63 receptions for 1,119 yards and 9 touchdowns on 98 targets through 12 games. He boasts 80+ yards or 1+ touchdown in 10 of his games. Metcalf’s turned 11 red zone targets into 6 receptions for 37 yards and 4 touchdowns. He’s seen 1,431 air yards with an elite 14.6 aDOT in 2020. Overall, he’s accounted for 39.3% of Seattle’s air yards. Metcalf is the most consistent receiver for the Seahawks, although he also comes with elite upside on a weekly basis.
Lockett is the other focal point of the Seattle passing attack, playing 90% of the offensive snaps in 2020. He’s posted 76 receptions for 834 yards and 8 touchdowns on 101 targets through 12 games. Lockett isn’t nearly as consistent as Metcalf, although his upside is undeniable. He posted 24 receptions for 300 yards and 6 touchdowns on 33 targets against the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. Lockett’s also seen a team-high 12 red zone targets, recording 9 receptions for 46 yards and 6 touchdowns. He owns 1,050 air yards with a 10.4 aDOT, accounting for 28.9% of Seattle’s air yards. Lockett is the boom or bust option in this offense, but he should be able to take advantage of an elite matchup against the Jets this weekend.
