RB Deltas

• Gainers: MIA (+0.22), CIN (+0.07), WAS (+0.04), DET (+0.03), ATL (+0.02)

• Mid: Most teams clustered near 0 (LAC +0.02, JAX/KC/TEN +0.01, many flat)

• Losers: SF (−0.29), SEA (−0.18), LV (−0.11), NYG (−0.10), CLE/NE/NO (−0.07)

Summary takeaways

• Extreme high-WR / low-TE structure remains sticky in TEN, PHI, TB, DAL.

• LV continues as the clear high-TE outlier and is still gaining TE share.

• LAR is the strongest recent WR gainer but is shedding TE share.

• SF is the largest recent TE gainer while shedding RB share.

• Most balanced teams (SEA, CIN, KC) show relatively small positional swings.

All Teams by Balance Score (W1–5 Positional Usage Index)

Balance = standard deviation of the three positional scales (RB / WR / TE).

Lower Balance = more even distribution; higher Balance = stronger concentration in one position.

Quick read: The extreme bin is dominated by high-WR / low-TE teams (TEN, PHI, TB, DAL) plus the clear high-TE outlier (LV) and the high-RB team (LAC). The most balanced group shows no single position scaled above the mid-60s.
