We have a buzzard heavy show for you today on Roto Underworld radio.

First buzzard writes in, David Johnson is your number one running back in redraft but on

player profiler.com he's best comparable to Toby Gerhart and that's true.

David Johnson is best comparable to Toby Gerhart because Toby Gerhart excelled in a small

No player is guaranteed to be great. This could be the year that Adrian Peterson flames out.

Ezekiel Elliot may never achieve RB1 status as almost everyone in the fantasy community

including myself believes he will.

Anything is possible.

What we're here to do is to practice analytical thinking.

Analytics in the context of sports are probabilities defining possibilities.

And when you look at David Johnson's comps, they're exciting.

It's just that the most comparable player at this very moment happens to be Toby

And the way to do that is to go to player profiler.com

forward slash data-analysis and then you can look up all running backs by College

Dominator speed speed score, production premium, juke rate, and all of those David

Johnson metrics in which he excels that we laid out on the last show. The best comparable player on

player profiler.com is not something you should be basing your evaluation on.
