Top 10 Fantasy Running Backs
Running backs are the heart of fantasy football. While the NFL now focuses more on receivers, having a strong running back is still key to winning your fantasy league. In today’s game, finding a running back who can play all three downs, catch passes, and get good goal-line touches is rare.
Except for Christian McCaffrey, running backs like this are almost impossible to find. It's a fantasy, something we talk about but rarely see in reality.
However, there are still plenty of running backs who can help you win championships. This year, many RB2-level players are ready to step up and lead your team to victory. Here are the top running backs in fantasy football this season.
