Based on a subscriber request, I’ve updated the OEP app for running backs, and am going to paywall it for subscribers.

You can read about why OEP is useful in this 538 article I wrote in 2022, but the gist is that you want to target RBs that accumulate high value touches, and the best way to quantify those touches is with expected fantasy points.

The model behind this metric is open-source, and was not my work. Head on over to the ffopportunity site to get more info on the model and work with the data yourself if you are R inclined.

For those who are not coders, or that would rather use a web app interface, and would like to support the substack, the app is located below the paywall fold below.
