Death of the Workhorse RB
In a time, not too long ago, defense was king of the NFL. Pulverizing hits weren't just legal, they were glamorized.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
We know nothing. When I say "we," I am referring collectively to all of us who follow the NFL and play fantasy football on a regular basis of course.
