The document summarizes a student's experience playing fantasy football over a 16-week season. The student analyzed which positions (running backs or wide receivers/tight ends) scored more points. They determined wide receivers/tight ends scored more total points (295 vs 275). Injuries impacted player performances and the student's scoring. For next season, the student plans to do more research and less emotional drafting to build a more successful team.

Mr. Carpenter asked that we determine
which position is more effective, running backs or wide receivers and tight ends, at scoring points for a fantasy team. Through thorough analysis, I have determined that the wide receivers and tight ends on my team were the more effective point scorers.
