Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2019

The list of running back committees seemingly grows larger every year. As more NFL teams embrace analytics and the modern game, they understand the replaceability of running backs.

Dynasty ADP Arbitrage - Josh Jacobs vs Kerryon Johnson

Dynasty is a young man’s game. Not for the age of the participant, but the age of the players you want on your team. Especially at the running back position, it is imperative to find the young stud. Frank Gore notwithstanding, the typical RB hits a wall at age 30. The shelf life for a running […]

Buying James Conner as a First-Rounder

Last season, the biggest debate in fantasy football heading into drafts was whether or not running back Le'Veon Bell was worthy of the first overall pick, let alone a first-round draft pick.

Typically, there are two types of RB2's fantasy players will target in their draft: a known, or an unknown quantity. A known would be somebody like Marlon Mack.
