RUNNING BACK POWER RANKINGS
The Big Data Football model uses Value Over Replacement to rank players. In our case, Value Over Replacement measures the fantasy point projection of an individual player over the fantasy point projection of the worst possible starter at that position.
But enough nerd talk. If you want to see our work, check out THE MODEL. If you just want to copy the answers, see our Positional Power Rankings below.
