This week's read
Spending up at running back and saving at defense is the structure our simulations favour, driven by two lead backs in clearly favourable matchups. In tournaments, pairing a mid-priced quarterback with two pass catchers preserves salary for that running back spend while keeping correlation intact. This is an optimization based on selected assumptions, not a prediction of outcomes.
