10 Must-Have Running Backs | Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Target (2024)

[@evsthejedi]

Everyone is sleeping on Jerome Ford. Just grab him and stash him on your bench. He's one of those backs that will come through when you need them the most.

[@78town]

Right! Hes 5'10 210lb and ran 4.46s

[@evsthejedi]

@@78town I got tore up from injuries last year on my RB's and I got him on waiver and he did just enough to put me on top of some must-wins last season. He can run, he can catch, and he simply does his job. It's not flashy, or fancy, but he gets those points when you need them.

[@timfarney5165]

@@evsthejedi yeah, and if his genius HC Stefanski stops VULTURING him in the red zone like he did last year with Hunt he'll be even better.

[@evsthejedi]

@@timfarney5165 yeah if he got the Red zone work he would be a hero RB, but he's definitely not a RB1 He's a "bench until you're desperate" RB, and even without the goal line reps he can get you the 13 - 15ish points you need him to get. I seriously doubt Chubb will ever be 100% again, and I'd be willing to bet by week 6 Ford will be the guy.

[@rlouie05]

Stashing Chubb in my IR slot were he to fall to the 10th in 12-team leagues.

[@ericbush4701]

Soon as I saw DBro, knew Brian Robinson Jr. would be here 😂

[@derekbrown6383]

Real ones know

[@vegaslightz1424]

😂 right! I have 3 of these rbs on this video. Isaiah, Aaron , Robinson, Blake Corrum on the bench

[@ericbush4701]

I got Stevenson and Walker in my 1st ESPN draft

[@Hunnard]

I'm out on Achane this year, not enough volume. Too boom or bust. He'll probably be great this year, but I don't want to take that risk, especially at his ADP.

[@coultersmith1448]

Agreed you’re better off taking Moestert 5 rounds later

[@rlouie05]

[@86breck]

You guys are making learning fantasy for a rookie very easy

[@rlouie05]

One of my friends' first games involved drafting a defense and kicker with his 1st 2 picks. He still won 2 games that season.

[@Rsweepe]

New subscriber. Great work you guys put out.

[@sliceofsparta8985]

Why does no one bring up Gus Edwards when talking about Henry? The Bus scored 13 TDs for them last year and they replaced him with the freaking KING. COME ON.

[@LoSoNBanks22]

I agree, maybe his age

[@rlouie05]

Why not JK Dobbins? Younger, 2 knees repaired, so might need to see dude as your RB3/4 at this point, with some RB2/3 upside. Can't count on him to be workhorse at this point, but definitely a bye-week filler and spot starter should you lose one of your higher RBs.

[@josephyang6900]

Great content mister and keep them coming

[@josedimas7224]

D bro is the reason I won my league last year!

[@austinebner4905]

Love these videos. Thanks pros.

[@flexschaefer]

What do you think guys: draftet from the 01.05. QB:Hurts, Daniels RB: Breece, Pacheco, Brian Robinson, Chase Brown, JK Dobbins, Braelon Allen WR: Deebo, Devonta, DK, Rice, Godwin, Coleman and Palmer TE: Freiermuth, Hockenson

[@TJWaterFlows]

How many teams and PPR or half PPR?

[@flexschaefer]

@@TJWaterFlows 10man league, PPR and we got 2 flex spots

[@doralopez5838]

RB is your strong point don't care for the WRs much but you sacrificed them a bit to snag a potential top 5 QB. I also like that after you didn't hit a top 5 TE you waited rounds later to get Freiermuth. It's what I've done all draft season, if I can't get a perceived top 5 TE I'm waiting for Ferguson or The Muth

[@michaelcarter2797]

Stevenson is a no go for me 🤷🏻‍♂️. Had him last year and still can’t get that taste out of my mouth 🤢🤮

[@neilmccart6938]

He’s a great value and entire different offense scheme, he will have a great year

[@timfarney5165]

​@@neilmccart6938not so sure, in fact I disagree with you. New Englands offensive line looks to be subpar, particularly the tackles, and WHOEVER plays QB will probably be under CONSTANT duress and take a lot of punishment. I just don't see that offense being able to do much, honestly. Hard, HARD, pass on Stevenson.

[@rlouie05]

If DBro is watching, Brian Robinson around the 6-8 depending on how many more starting RBs are left when round 5 ends, as he's my RB2 if I go hero/zero RB.

[@RealBennett]

Managed to get 3 from this list in my first draft. Henry (3rd), B-Rob (9th), & McLaughlin (22nd). Plus Conner, Chase Brown, & Rico. Feeling pretty confident about my RB room.

[@kikko]

DBro, been a fan of this channel since 2022 when my school work league first started. Yesterday was the end of our first school week, and we found out our commissioner is stepping down due to fatigue of fantasy. I was then nominated as new commish. Already I am thinking of ways to improve our league. Last year winner of the lower bowl got their money back. My principal suggested a toilet trophy instead! Less than 24 hours later, I see this video! Hoping to be the lucky one!

[@patrickm8595]

Toilet trophy is definitely for last place in league, not first, so you would be lucky to NOT get the toilet trophy...lol

[@briankelly3318]

Need help. League has weird scoring. PPR for RB’s STD for WR’s Keep Chase or J. Taylor In this scoring would you value one position over the other?

[@keshavsharma5406]

JT. WRs without PPR is wild in 2024 lol. If this is dynasty, it's Chase all day every day, but redraft, JT clear winner.

[@keshavsharma5406]

Not that I think AR will check down to him much, but the TD upside and lack of competition factors into it. Burrow still has Higgins to vacuum up 100-120 targets.

[@rishabgopisetti5288]

I’m in a 12 man keeper with the 1.12. Out of Wilson, Saquan, Gibbs, Marvin Harrison how would u rank them?

Marv, Garrett, Gibbs, Saquon, easily.

[@wealdeal610]

Derek Henry is awesome. Don’t sleep on Barkley though. He is finally playing on a good offense with a good offensive line. Lots of scoring opportunities. He’ll be a top 3 RB for sure!

And undersized. JaVonte Williams, now another year removed from that devastating knee injury, will more than likely dominate touches in that offense. I like Jaleel, in fact I roster him in my ppr Dynasty league so I think he has some value for sure, just don't see him as their rb1.

@@ChawkoSnap you are getting COMPLETELY DIFFERENT information than what I am getting lol.... regardless of who/what your questionable sources are McClaughlin isn't feature back size, doesn't pass protect well enough, AND because you haven't picked up on it already Payton CLEARLY preferred Williams last year even while he was still recovering from that knee injury. As I pointed out once already now that he is 10-11 lbs lighter AND another year recovered he is their primary running back.
