Summary
No player impacts Fantasy more than a truly elite RB. How many of those do we have? Who can join that group this season? What should you be looking for to find the next guy? We answer those questions statistically (7:05) and look at the rising stars among RBs (10:00) before getting into Ezekiel Elliott (12:10) and the rest of the Top 4 ... Overall RB strategy (17:40), the merits of Zero-RB, and Top 20 RBs we're avoiding (26:00). We have detailed discussions about Le'Veon Bell and David Johnson among others ... Sleepers (33:33), breakouts (37:05) and busts (47:40)! A lot of Todd Gurley debate here. Plus keep an eye on Devin Singletary and Latavius Murray and we hope for a big year from Leonard Fournette ...
