The following is a repost from FantasyDouche.com. I’ve posted before on the effects that age might have wide receivers and coaches.  I’ve even posted on running backs, although I looked at running back yards/carry rather than any fantasy football measure.  Based on a request from @vote4parag on Twitter I took a look at running backs from a fantasy standpoint…....

Just a quick post here as I ran some quick numbers I’ve been meaning to run for awhile…....

This piece was originally published on FantasyDouche.com in spring of 2012 and addresses fantasy scoring only – although fantasy scoring is actually a pretty good proxy for our collective impression of what makes a good wide receiver.  To put it another way, try to think of a successful real world receiver who isn’t a successful fantasy receiver.  This piece pits a model that includes simple…...

I’ll be honest here and say that I’m pretty terrified to say anything bad about the the Seahawks personnel moves given that they’ve been ridiculous at pulling rabbits out of hats. However, I have nothing if not hubris, so let me offer a quick reason why I don’t like the trade – I don’t think Percy Harvin is different enough from Golden Tate to really…...

As a follow on to my post about Eddie Lacy in which I offered that I tend not to pay attention to Speed Scores for running backs because usage is so much more important, I thought I would post on Knile Davis, who has a ridiculous Speed Score…....
