INSIGHT

XFP Reveals Volume Drives RB Value

  • Expected fantasy points (XFP) through two weeks show Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson dominating volume-based projections.
  • Route rate and target share drive RB value more than raw rushing yards in early-season XFP.
INSIGHT

Route Rate Elevates Fantasy Ceiling

  • High route rate markedly increases a running back's fantasy ceiling even if receiving efficiency is low.
  • Jonathan Taylor ranks high in XFP partly because he is on the field for essentially every play and getting occasional receiving opportunities.
ADVICE

Consider Selling JT On Peak Value

  • Consider selling Jonathan Taylor at present value if you believe the offense will regress and his role is peaking.
  • Use his current XFP and market demand to trade into more consistent three-down backs like Bucky or HN variants.
