Teams needing a RB - 2022 edition

[Clayton]

I'd be surprised if we see any RB this yr drafted before RD 3-4.

Agreed. Position is deep and there aren't any guys separating themselves from the pack so I dont think we'll see a run on RBs until rd3 at the earliest.

I do think it will be eye opening if anyone trades up for a RB. That almost certainly will be a player to watch because it probably shouldnt happen.

Love reading your (and all) assessments of backfields. Spot on with the few and far between 'workhorse' types. It seems there are a few that may well be capable each yr but in today's league most seem to get limited as the passing game becomes more and more the central point of offenses. I'd be surprised if we see any RB this yr drafted before RD 3-4.

I'm guessing 1-2 go in the second, but that's also assuming teams like Miami and Atlanta actually decide to address the position, so there may very well not be any.

You could be right about the round they start getting drafted, but we will be watching the few RB needy teams to see who they draft and they’ll go early in FF drafts.

Oh, for sure in fantasy. ... An RB on young legs always goes early there. ... even just a decent one to a good location.

Perhaps carr.

Fundamental issue with CEH is that lack of long speed. McKinnon effectively passed him up in the depth charts last year because of that 4.4(ish) speed. There might be some need for a goaline back in the future but last year they were able to effectively use the FB a lot in short yardage and CEH can make a guy miss. The issue imo is that teams play the Chiefs soft and a faster RB is pretty clearly the best thing against that.

4.6 40 guy, right? And he's not really big. It's kinda weird to remember that he was drafted in the first round.

Mahomes wanted him. And Covid. I'd imagine the Chiefs wanted to trade down. Veach generally trades his first round picks.

Seems to me the Saints may be in the market for a running back.

I have to think that mahomes just loving him played a major factor. IIRC I was not on team CHE pre-draft at all, but he had his fans. For all I know, I probably loved him though

Seems like a prime Alf fit.

There were some people high on CEH. Brett Kollman and Chris Simms? Maybe a few others. I had him #3 on my list of players I wanted behind Tee Higgins and Fulton but CEH is who I thought they were drafting when the pick came up. Like I said earlier, though. I thought CEH would be a much better receiver than he is.

D willims actually became a plus receiver this year

I think everyone who is regular on this board remembers perfectly well I had him as a poser coming out, I prematurely ate Crow after week 1, since then he's pretty much proven my right. He's slightly better than I pegged him, but ...yea.

You don't think they run it back with Kamara and Ingram, regardless of QB?

Kamara is in a world of trouble isnt he

Ingram's a free agent; as far as Kamara goes, I guess we'll have more to speculate about after March 8th.

Oh yeah..I had totally forgotten..oops

Not for nothin', but kinda defeats the credibility of your original intent, no?

Damages perhaps, I dunno about defeats

Everyone has a personal conduct clause ... for stuff like his...I'd they choose to do so, they could get out.

And there's always the chance he's suspended, possibly in jail. In which case, contract or no, the ain'ts will need a RB
