Let’s look at one of fantasy football’s age old questions: Should my first pick be a WR or a RB? We have dug into the data for the past 11 seasons (2011-2021) to see where the player ranks within their position vs. their ADP. #fantasyfootball #NFL #fantasydraft

Before I present the data, I want you to remember that the nfl has changed drastically through the decade, especially for the RB position. So here we have our full unbiased 2011-2021 (11 seasons) RB touches report. A THREAD:
