Fantasy Football Week 6: Touch Distribution, Running Backs

Now that we have somewhat of a decent sample size, it makes sense to continue with the advanced stats and metrics that eDraft provides you in the premium section. For the remainder of the season, we will give you a sample of that awesome data. We start with target distribution at the wide tight end position. 

Touch distribution is a rather simple stat. It looks at specific players and what percentage of touches they tally on their team throughout the season. We will look at the top-20 fantasy running backs heading into Week 6 and rank them according to touch percentage.
