Anthony Richardson, Kayshon Boutte, and How Fantasy Managers Can Beat the NFL Draft: The 2023 NFL Prospect Age Database

Draft age is one of the most important metrics when evaluating prospects, at all positions. Across the board we see that players who are drafted at a younger age are more successful at nearly every stage of their careers, and are successful for longer than their peers that were drafted at an older age.

Chase Brown’s Insane Production Hasn’t Yet Earned Him the Approval of NFL Scouts — Is This an Exploitable Inefficiency or a Failure of the Metrics?

Earlier this week I published the backfield dominator ratings (BDR) for the 2023 running back class. Chase Brown ranked No. 4 in BDR, thanks in large part to the number of opportunities he saw in Illinois’ offense. He had at least 20 touches and surpassed 100 total yards in every single game.

3 Small (or Small School) Running Backs Who Could Surprise You, and 1 Trendy Name with a Major Red Flag: 2023 Backfield Dominator Ratings

Production is nearly always undervalued at the running back position. In part that’s because it’s not always the easiest thing to measure. Yes, we can easily look at the leaderboards in rushing and receiving yards and see who compiled the biggest numbers. But doing so leaves out a lot of context. For one thing, it doesn’t tell us much about a player’s offensive environment? Was…...

2023 Breakaway Rush Scores: An Explosive Class Set to Blow Up At the Next Level

It’s hard not to love explosive running backs – players who can take a handoff, find a hole, juke past a linebacker, and race to the end zone. These are the type of plays that circle through our minds as we think about how a player’s skill set will translate to the NFL.

Irv Smith Won’t Be A Target Hog With the Bengals, But He Still Can Provide Some Fantasy Juice

The Cincinnati Bengals added to their high-powered offense on Monday, signing tight end Irv Smith Jr to a one-year “prove it” deal.
