Which Teams Have the Most RB Opportunity Available?

We recently explored the level of opportunity available for WRs on a team level in 2018 using air yards. Now we turn our attention to the running backs, which, as we’re about to see, is a different market…....

Ranking 2018 WR Opportunity Scores Using Air Yards

One of the best ways to measure opportunity for wide receivers is by using air yards. It naturally follows that air yards is also one of the best ways to identify opportunities which have been opened up — or lost — from 2017 to 2018. This is especially crucial as we approach the NFL draft…....

Targeting the three least efficient rushing teams in the NFL might seem like an odd place to start in your search for a league winner at running back.

Who Is The WR To Own In Jacksonville?

Free agent comings and goings have been happening at a furious pace for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers.
