We’re back with the running back advanced stats from Week 9. We’ve regularly examined the running back leaders (and laggards) in yards after contact and evasion rate to identify players and backfields to target or avoid. There’s more to running back fantasy points than the advanced stats, including their usage and efficiency, which provides important context, especially when in a committee.
We’ll utilize the Advanced Stats Explorer and other tools to analyze notable players that we want to buy or sell. Specifically, we’ll focus on yards before and after contact, the inputs for evasion rate, stuff rate, and the expected fantasy points. That will tell us how the offensive line might be affecting an RB and whether their volume might override their advanced stats if they struggle to force missed tackles.
