Vaughn Dunbar is a career quality starter — a running back whose body of work places Dunbar in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Dunbar's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A running back with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 32 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back — top 57% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 2 of 3 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +16 on average.See board →
