*Actives! We've Got Actives Here! - manicmav36 - 12-06-2017

So, after reading @ItsJustBarry's post I was inspired to blatantly rip it off, and just change a few things to not make it quite so obvious. Thanks, man! Luckily, it ended up being a lot different than what I had originally planned.

I’ve seen lots of talk of people complaining about the number of inactives on their roster, so I decided to actually look at the number of active players each team has and do a little bit of analysis. To qualify as active, I will only be counting players that had edited their update page either this week or last week. For semi-active, I will be counting players who have made changes to their update sheet within the last 3 weeks. I apologize for the formatting, I realize now this is probably more suited for a spread sheet.

Yellowknife Wraiths: 9
Colorado Yeti: 8
Philadelphia Liberty: 8
Orange County Otters: 7
Las Vegas Legion: 3

NSFC: 34
ASFC: 29

Wins per active player:
Orange County: 1.29
Arizona: 1.2
San Jose: 1
Las Vegas: 1
Wraiths: 0.89
Philadelphia: 0.88
Baltimore: 0.78
Colorado: 0.13

Takeaways:
Unsurprisingly, Arizona had the best record and had the most actives. It’s obvious those should go hand-in-hand. The Legion finishing the season with only 3 wins isn’t all that shocking due to only having 3 actives on their roster. Unless someone sparks a fire in that locker room, things won’t be changing very quickly. Colorado finishing with 1 win despite 8 actives is surprising, and tells us one of two things, either those that are active are very new to the league (yes) or they don’t add much TPE when they do update (not quite.) It also shows that the Yeti should begin to rapidly improve, especially with a solid S5 draft.
Despite the ASFC generally being considered the better conference, the NSFC has 5 more actives. This shows that the balance MAY (slowly) shift to the NSFC, but my guess is this will take multiple seasons, if it does actually occur.

Actives by position:

QB: 6
6 teams have active QBs, with San Jose and Orange County being the only 2 without

RB: 5
Only 4 teams have active RBs (Yellowknife has 2.) Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Orange County, and San Jose are all without.

WR: 10
6 teams have an active wide receiver with 4 teams having 2. Las Vegas and Colorado are the only teams without.

TE: 4
Baltimore, Las Vegas, Orange County, San Jose are all without.

DE: 4
Only half the league has an active DE, with Philadelphia, Yellowknife, Las Vegas, and Orange County are without.

DT: 7
San Jose is the only team with 2 active defensive tackles, while Las Vegas and Colorado are without.

LB: 8
Colorado, Orange County, and Arizona all have 2 a piece, while Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Colorado don’t have any.

CB: 10
The only position that every team has an active player rostered for. Las Vegas and Colorado both have 2.

S: 5
San Jose is the only team with 2 active safties. Colorado, Las Vegas, Arizona, and Orange County are all without.

I'm sure there's some mistakes in here, so if anyone actually reads this and spots one, let me know! If there's anything you like to see me add, I'd be happy to do that as well.

This has inspired me. I need to write another article.

No active kickers? FeelsBadMan

Great write-up and evidence that we DON'T need to add expansion teams given the lower number of actives. We shouldn't even be having those discussions until we can get at least 12 actives per team.

Very true. I would however, like to point out that this does not include the DSFL, so active numbers are in fact, higher than this.

As someone who has been scouting all DSFL draftees recently, there are very, very few there also.

Uh oh.

In all seriousness, this was a good read. It'll be really interesting to see how this changes over time.
