12/18: Debating NFL Analytics & Week 16 Fantasy Football Ranks

...In Which We Discuss The Tyranny Of A Certain Kind Of Statistics

In the NFL, as in all pro sports, analytics is now the supposed watchword, and you're either "against" them (you only care about numbers, you nerd!) or "for" them (if you're not mainly considering numbers, you're old!). We'll try and strike a middle ground on today's show, discussing our favorite and least-favorite ways in which numbers have taken over what passes for fantasy football analysis. And of course, it's the fantasy finals: we'll talk through some key Week 16 ranks! Guest: Andy Behrens of Yahoo! Fantasy.
