Ever dreamed of being an NFL coach? Congratulations, you’re about to get your chance. In a make-believe fashion, of course.
Let’s say you are the head coach of a team that rotates three running backs in its backfield. Let’s further say that, in the three games for which all three have been active, they’ve produced the following stat lines.
RB A: 24 carries, 147 yards, one touchdown, four receptions, 41 yards Let’s further say that all three of these backs were on your roster a year ago, and that RB A was the most productive on the ground, running for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 81 carries.
RB B: 22 carries, 89 yards, zero touchdowns, four receptions, 35 yards
RB C: 13 carries, 49 yards, zero touchdowns, nine receptions, 128 yards
