Part two of our conversation contextualizing full season stats around the wide receiver position specifically.

That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretchenc. You can find the newsletter at benggresh.subst substack com with me as always is sean segal you can find all of his great work over at rotoviz we're picking up where we left off in part one of this discussion we had a plan to kind of talk through some full season stats and use it as an open ending open ended launching point to talk about a lot of different players we want to talk
