    • reading running back tier cliffs and deciding when to anchor the position 
    • targeting upside picks that can actually win a league in deep formats

  • New Faces in New Places: RBs - These running backs must be rostered!

    Send us Fan Mail

    We break down the final “new faces, new places” running backs and explain who needs to be rostered, who is overpriced at ADP, and how to build a draft plan that survives the RB dead zone. We argue the Kenneth Walker swing, map out value pockets like Travis Etienne Jr., and finish with late-round lottery tickets that can flip leagues when injuries hit. 

    • Kenneth Walker III to the Chiefs, league-winner ceiling versus round-two cost risk 
    • Roster construction around KW3, when he works as RB1 and when it gets ugly 
    • Travis Etienne Jr. to the Saints, value at ADP and how Kamara news shifts the bet 
    • Tier debates around Etienne, where we draw the line versus backs like Swift and Judkins 
    • David Montgomery to the Texans, touchdown path versus split concerns with Woody Marks 
    • Woody Marks as the cheaper bet, exploiting the massive ADP gap 
    • Rico Dowdle to the Steelers, why volume and team identity keep him draftable 
    • Dowdle’s early-season matchups and why he profiles as RB3 or RB4 depth 
    • Kenneth Gainwell to the Bucs, sneaky half PPR role and shootout-friendly usage 
    • Tyler Allgeier to the Cardinals, late-round insurance with a brutal schedule 
    • Honorable mentions and bench darts, Chris Rodriguez, Keaton Mitchell, Rashad White, Pacheco, Brian Robinson
