The evolution of the running back position has brought with it frustration for fantasy managers looking for certainty from the position. Gone are the days when Walter Payton averaged just under 335 rushing attempts for his 10 full seasons from 1976-86 (1982 was a strike-shortened season). RIP, Sweetness, you're missed in so many ways.
As of now, because he is still not at full speed from his surgeries, Pacheco appears to be a bit pricey at RB25 and an overall ADP of 66 overall. McKinnon at RB45 and 126.7 overall is very much worth rostering, if only for the trust that Mahomes has in him in the passing game. Edwards-Helaire is just a dart throw late in drafts, though with upside because of the high-powered KC offense.
Does Herbert take a step forward into the lead-back role in 2023? He did have 731 yards on 129 carries last year, with a pair of games in Weeks 3 and 4 where he had rushing lines of 20-157-2 and 19-77-0, respectively, subbing for an injured Montgomery. With free agent signeeThe then-Panther Foreman was RB23 from Week 7 forward — after Christian McCaffrey was traded — rushing for 877 yards over the final 11 games. One concern is his pass blocking, which was graded last in the league at 14.
Johnson came out of Texas with"dogged blocking chops, both in pass protection and as a lead blocker in '21' personnel," according to The Athletic's Dane Brugler inRed-zone work figures to be split between the bigger backs Foreman and Johnson , as Herbert gained just 7 yards on 8 carries inside the five-yard line last year. Don’t be surprised if the rookie Johnson gets more of the important touches in the back half of the year when the weather turns bitter cold.
With Fields such a factor in the running game fantasy managers can probably expect very little receiving work from any of these running backs. Herbert is highest in Yahoo ADP at RB35 and 102.9 overall, with Foreman at RB44 and 128.9 right behind. Johnson is a bargain at RB62 and 130.7 and needs to be stashed because his fresh legs, sturdy build and willingness to block may keep him on the field more on passing downs and in the red zone.
