Last week, we looked at data from Sports Info Solutions on where wide receivers lined up on their targets and how often quarterbacks threw to a receiver from the slot or out wide. Our next step is to look at running backs and tight ends. You can see last year's study here.
The main difference with these positions is that running backs often line up in the backfield and tight ends often line up at their natural in-line spot. We are very interested in knowing how well they do at those traditional spots and also when they move to the slot or (less common) out wide.
