I posted this on reddit as well, I made a spreadsheet showing just how much Burfict impacted our Defense last year. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HWwP_zm7TJgBlplZx52sqZ6xA1Tn_-LCqdzXBdCFtfU/edit?usp=sharing
If you don't want to click, here's the breakdown:
PYPG allowed w/o Burfict: 271.7
PYPG allowed w/ Burfict: 245.1
RYPG allowed w/o Burfict: 109.2
RYPG allowed w/ Burfict: 89.9
Points allowed: 18 w/o, 15.3 with Burfict.
So yeah, he's a significant piece of our Defense and whomever it was that said he was "maybe" the third best defensive player on our team is dead wrong. He is arguably the most valuable or 1A with Geno.
