Since 2000, there have been 43 running backs drafted in the first two rounds, who then went on to put up at least 100 carries in their rookie seasons...

Defenses

30 Jul , 2015
It happened only 7 times last year, and that was actually an increase over previous seasons. There were only 3 shutouts in 2013 (that’s in 256 regular-season games)...

Adrian Peterson

29 Jul , 2015
Peterson hasn’t been a good pass catcher in recent years. In both the 2012 and 2013 seasons, he averaged under 6 yards per catch...

Adrian Peterson

28 Jul , 2015
I saw yesterday that Peterson was saying his goal is to run for 2,500 yards, and that he thinks he can play another six years. “I don’t see the end,” Peterson said...

Chris Johnson

28 Jul , 2015
But while Johnson is just 29 years old and might figure to have at least another good season in him, there's evidence that he's nowhere near the same player he was back then...

Fantasy scoring and luck

27 Jul , 2015
For this one, I looked at all offenses since the league went to 32 teams in 2002. For each team, I took its rank in passing, rushing and kicking...

Wide receivers

26 Jul , 2015
DeSean Jackson is the king of this arena, with 36 receptions of 40-plus yards since 2010 – 8 more than anyone else...

Kickers

Kickers

22 Jul , 2015
I tweaked the focus of the question a little. Leedy wondered if those teams attempted more field goals. I changed it to whether they SCORED more kicking points...

Late-round tight ends

20 Jul , 2015
There have been 95 tight ends taken in the fourth through seventh rounds over the last decade (2005-2014)...

Quarterbacks

16 Jul , 2015
I’ve got them ranked by workload, and no surprise with the 10 busiest passers in this part of the field. Manning, Brees, Ryan, Roethlisberger, Brady, Stafford, Luck, Rodgers, Rivers and Manning...

Late-round running backs

16 Jul , 2015
At running back, the odds of pulling a successful NFL players out of the last three rounds of the draft are similar...

Wide receivers

15 Jul , 2015
They’re in order of targets. Brandon Marshall, Jordy Nelson, Dez Bryant, A.J. Green and Demaryius Thomas have been most heavily used...

Late-round wide receivers

Realistically, though, the odds are firmly against either player doing anything of note in the NFL...
