This Rookie Stunner Series is based around first round RBs (from 2005-2014) who reached (or clawed) at the 1,200 yards from scrimmage plateau. Also for Dynasty and illustration purposes, I break down how […]

This is the second volume of my Rookie Stunner series. In volume one, I touched on Brown’s college teammate Cadillac Williams.

RB Theorem | Chpt. V: How Recent Rookie Failures Affect Dynasty Value

Dynasty / By /

RB Theorem | Chapter III: Window Blinders

Dynasty / By /

We have all heard statements about the running back window. Depending on who you speak to that window is two to three years, five years or under the age of 27.
