Derek Brown of FantasyPros joins Best Ball Whenever to break down one of the most important positions in fantasy football: running back.

We start by ranking several of the most polarizing backs in the second round of best ball drafts, including Chase Brown, De'Von Achane, Omarion Hampton, Derrick Henry, and Kenneth Walker. From there, the conversation shifts to the later rounds, where Derek and Neil discuss some of their favorite running back backups and contingent-value plays.

The two debate the outlook for Keaton Mitchell, identify several high-upside targets, and discuss why they're both particularly bullish on Jonathon Brooks despite his discounted ADP. Derek also explains why Kenneth Gainwell and Brooks stand out among the cheapest backup running backs available in current drafts.

Beyond running backs, Derek shares why he's aggressively targeting Colston Loveland in Chicago and AJ Brown in New England.
