*S17 RB Rankings - Week 1

[YoungTB]

Could be worth trying. The formula and rankings are available here. It basically comes down to this:
Receiving Yards are worth 1 point each.
Rushing and Receiving TDs are worth 30 points each.
Rushing Yards are worth 1 point, but they are multiplied by your YPC divided by 4.0. So, a RB with 5.0 YPC gets 125% of his rushing yards while a RB with 3.0 only gets 75%. It's meant to punish RBs that rely on pure volume and reward RBs that frequently get bigger runs. (For example, in S13, Slim Shady had the most yards, but he didn't have the highest YPC.)

I don't plan to do one of these for every game week, but I'd like to get one out every IRL week and I'm curious to see who falls/climbs over the course of the season.

Makes sense. Comparing seasons between RBs could get wonky though, especially when looking at pre-S11 RBs since touchdown numbers were wildly different than today. There's probably a way to level that though.
