Episode 100: Which Stats Matter for Fantasy with Josh Hermsmeyer

Josh Hermsmeyer is an accomplished data scientist who developed the industry-leading Air Yards Buy Low Model (available exclusively on EstablishTheRun again this season) and writes for ESPN's 538. He sits down with Adam Levitan to discuss his model, using data in fantasy and which stats actually matter.
