Data

I play in seven fantasy football leagues. Five on Sleeper, two on Yahoo. Six snake drafts and one auction. Team counts of 10 and 12. PPR, half-PPR, and one league that pays a point for every first down. One of them scores individual defensive players. One scores kickers purely on field goal yardage with no penalty for a miss. Five are ordinary redrafts, one is a keeper league, and one is a dynasty league where rosters carry over whole.

CMS recently published provider-level Medicaid spending data from T-MSIS — every fee-for-service, managed care, and CHIP claim from 2018 through 2024, aggregated by billing provider, procedure code, and month. 227 million rows. $1.09 trillion in payments. I wanted to see what falls out when you run some basic fraud heuristics against it.
