The running back position seems like it’s being devalued in the NFL, and that’s almost reflective of how things have been turning out in fantasy football. No, we still have to start two per week, and they still get drafted highly. But, there are less and less automatic fantasy RB1s available, and more committees to sift through.
That’s why stalwarts like Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler and Nick Chubb are so valuable in our game.
And that’s also why we get so excited when someone like Bijan Robinson enters the fold, a talented young back who’s set for a big workload in his respective backfield. Some are even calling Robinson the second coming of Saquon Barkley — but maybe even better.
