*NSFL Season 4 Week 4 Running Back Success Rates

[PigSnout]

This is the Week 4 version of the Running Back Success Rates series I've been doing. If you haven't seen the previous versions, the general idea is to measure the consistency of a running back's success. Each run is considered a success or a failure based on the percentage of yards required gained. The benchmark values for a success are 40% of yards required on 1st down, 60% of yards required on 2nd down, and 100% of yards required on 3rd down or 4th down. The running back's success rate is their number of successful runs divided by their total number of runs. If you are interested in learning more about how the statistic was created here is the Football Outsiders article that I learned about it from (Note: the version of the stat I am using is slightly simplified as it does not include the 4th quarter adjustments). I included the starting running back of each team and the top two running backs for the Wraiths and the Otters because they split carries pretty evenly. Here are the stats from Week 4:

I had forgotten about all of Savea's carries that week.

I had forgotten about all of Savea's carries that week.

In the EFL, a RB had 62 carries one week... it was insane.
