2005 Average Fantasy Scoring Per Week - Running Backs

Who Actually Shows Up When They are in the Game

Stats that reflect a player's season totals are often misleading.  Games missed to injury, suspension or simply because a guy hasn't cracked the lineup yet will lower their season totals and hide their true value.

When you remove those games from the equation and average out how they scored in the games they played, you can get a feeling for their actual production.

These rankings are sorted by average points per game played.  We use the Freaks' standard scoring system which is listed below. 

So study hard, and come next fantasy draft you'll have the best stocked roster in your league.

NOTE:  As the weekly fantasy point totals are rounded to the nearest whole value, the averages may look incorrect.  They are not as they are based on the decimal values which are not displayed.
