DraftSeason story
2025 · Commissioner's Championship
Heavy RB allocation met a contrasting receiving result
Gilb drafted seven running backs, with first-round Christian McCaffrey supplying 284 lineup points in thirteen starts. The first receiver selection did not come until round five. Season-wide RB slots averaged 15.0 points per start against the other teams' 12.7 median, while WR slots trailed at 8.1 versus 10.1. Those complete positional results include later pickups, separating the backfield's strength from the receiving shortfall.

- Fixed RB slots: 418.9 points, 28 occupied starts and 28 opportunities. Drafted-player totals may include FLEX; the slot comparison does not.
- Christian McCaffrey, round 1: 284 points in 13 starts before leaving the drafting roster. These may include FLEX starts and are not the fixed-position numerator.
- Other managers' median points per occupied RB start: 12.68; this manager: 14.96. The season slot result includes later acquisitions, not only the named draft picks.
- Christian McCaffrey: round 1, pick 7, 13 original-draft-spell starts and 284 points. The draft contained seven RBs and no WR before round 5.
- 2025 Championship weeks 1-14: RB 418.9 / 28 = 14.9607, other-13 median 12.68; WR 228.12 / 28 = 8.1471, other-13 median 10.06. Individual draft contributions may include FLEX; fixed-slot totals exclude FLEX and include acquisitions.
- Rationale: the heavy RB allocation had an attributable leading contributor and an above-median positional result. Delayed receiver investment is context, not a proven cause of the WR shortfall.
Comparison and window
Other 13 managers in this 2025 league, complete weeks 1–14, points per occupied RB start. No other season or format is pooled.
