For running backs, you want to find guys that either get volume, are on a good team, or are just plain talented. In 2021, people threw darts at running backs such as Rhamondre Stevenson, Elijah Mitchell, and Cordarrelle Patterson and found success. There will be more running backs that will be draft day or waiver wire steals in 2022.
What if I told you that a quarterback who lit up the SEC got drafted to one of the best offenses in the NFL and a team whose starting quarterback has already planned an escape hatch from the organization? Sounds interesting, huh? Then allow me to ask another question: why does no one care about Kyle Trask in dynasty formats?
For quarterbacks, anything from coaching to the talent of their receivers will be important to look at. In 2021, players like Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts provided excellent value. There will be more quarterbacks that will be draft day or waiver wire steals in 2022.
The 2022 Raiders Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint, and using that evaluation as a baseline, from a dynasty valuation standpoint. The first installments in the series can be found here.
They say life is better in Miami. It sure seems that way for Dolphins fans. In comes a new head coach, a re-built back field, and an upgraded offensive line. Plus, the addition of the now highest paid wide receiver in football, Tyreek Hill.
One of the more popular approaches to team building in fantasy football is the Hero RB strategy. Some may call it “modified zero RB,” others may call it “anchor RB,” and others may call it what it used to be known as “punting RB2.”
For the second year in a row, the Dolphins were led on the ground by Myles Gaskin. Behind him, a committee of ancillary players all saw significant work. These players included Duke Johnson, Salvon Ahmed, Phillip Lindsay, and Malcolm Brown. Each of these players had at least 33 carries. For good measure, Patrick Laird added one rushing attempt.
Do the Minnesota Vikings have what it takes to dethrone Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers this year? The Vikings certainly have a talented roster, but as with all rosters a lot depends on the play of the quarterback, and no quarterback has been maligned as much by their respective fan base as Kirk Cousins.
The 2022 Jets Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint and use that evaluation as a baseline from a dynasty valuation standpoint.
We build dominant fantasy rosters by amassing arsenals of elite individual players. Some individual talents succeed no matter their team situation, but year after year, fantasy gamers gain a leg up by simply gathering the assets from the most potent NFL offenses.
