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 their 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 1,50 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 will 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/Chris Carson/D.K. Metcalf
Wilson has looked elite through five games this season. He’s thrown for 1,502 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions on 169 pass attempts. He’s also added 153 yards on the ground. Wilson gets an interesting matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this week. They’re allowing 226.5 passing yards per game while giving up 9 passing touchdowns in 2020. Arizona is also allowing 6.9 adjusted yards per attempt this season. The Seattle Seahawks are -3.5 point favorites in a game set at 56 points, and they boast an implied team total of 29.8 points this weekend.
Carson has only played 56% of Seattle’s offensive snaps, but he’s been a massive part of the offense. He owns 289 yards and 3 touchdowns on 61 carries to go along with 21 receptions for 140 yards and 3 touchdowns on 23 targets. His newly found versatility has allowed him to stay on the field regardless of game script. Carson has only seen 10 red zone carries this season, but he’s the clear featured back, accounting for 76.9% of the carries inside-the-20. He’s also caught each of his 4 red zone targets, totaling 45 yards and 3 touchdowns. Carson faces off against Arizona, who is allowing 119.7 rushing yards per game. They’re giving up 4.4 yards per carry, although they’ve held their opponents to only 3 rushing touchdowns this season.
Metcalf is one of the best young receivers in the NFL, and his progression is continuing this season. He owns 22 receptions for 496 yards and 5 touchdowns on 39 targets while playing 95.6% of the offensive snaps. Metcalf has accounted for 44.5% of Seattle’s air yards, recording 636 air yards with an elite 16.3 aDOT. He’s seen a team-high 5 red zone targets, posting 2 receptions for 19 yards and 2 touchdowns. Metcalf’s big-play ability makes him a near must-start in a Seattle stack this weekend.
