Must mean out of all RB's. That's still really good if true. Not sure

sports grid
I thought it sounded funny but posted it anyway. You're probably right. The link I read it is posted above. I glanced through that, the Bell section didn't mention the stat you said? Where was it said? You have to scroll down the list of players and find Bell. He's #45

He's #45 Oh. lol, one I thought you means Steeler Bell. And two, they mean all 3 stats. Jamaal Charles had more TDs and catches, but his YPC was .3 yards less. So with parameters that specific its believable.

Oh, just noticed when I quoted Juggs it left out what I was responding to..."Joique Bell in round 7 is atrocious I don't know what you were thinking." Just edited the quote to add it. Cut it out by accident originally.

I want RBs who get tons of carrys. That produces bad YPC.

Having a good YPC is not important, it's just sometimes a side-effect of a good RB, sometimes not. But I'd rather have a runningback with 300 carries, 1200 yds than a guy with 150 carries and 900 yards, even though the second player would have twice the YPC.

But I'd rather have a runningback with 300 carries, 1200 yds than a guy with 150 carries and 900 yards, even though the second player would have twice the YPC. Obviously we would all like the first RB more. But then the next year when the first RB only gets 200 carries, you would rather have the 2nd guy. Take Trent Richardson for example. In 2012 he had 267 attempts for 950 yards, or a 3.6 YPC, which isn't very good. His TDs and recovering helped him out quite a bit as well. Last year he was being drafted in the first or second round in every fantasy league. He only gets 188 attempts, which would have been 676 yards IF he had the same YPC, but he didn't, it got worse. YPC is very important to help project how guys will do in the future IMO, because a good YPC usually equals a good runner, and good runners usually get a fair amount of attempts.

Sorry, the YPC I said was yards per catch. Should have been yards per reception, but whatever. Yards per reception is a useless stat for RBs.
