Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL.

Things were supposed to be good in San Francisco this year. The team had a promising young quarterback, a good veteran wide receiver, a highly-talented receiver across from him, and an up and coming tight end, and then they drafted Washington wide receiver Dante Pettis to add to that core.

It seems like the Cleveland Browns are constantly in rebuild mode.

The 2018 NFL draft is part of football history. The reason that the 2018 draft will always be remembered is that it marked just the third time in NFL history that at least five quarterbacks were selected in the first round in the modern era (since 1960). 1983 and 1999 are the other draft classes...

Then, Baker Mayfield happened. Browns... Read More
