We're nearly halfway through the fantasy regular season, and we're starting to know what teams and players are actually good, and which might be pretenders. Today we'll count down our top five trade-away candidates. And we'll also talk stats: why is Yards Per Carry a bad stat, and why measuring scoreboard-independent play-calling mix can be useful. Guests: Chase Stuart of FootballPerspective.com and Cousin Josh.
