This is the video you have been waiting for. Which running backs are the must-haves for 2023?

0:05.1

You know, the guys who will carry you to a fantasy championship, pun intended, like Josh Jacobs and

0:10.5

Saquan Barkley did last year. So without further ado, here are the top 10 must-have RBs for

0:15.4

23. And it starts with the number 10 running back you want in Jalen Warren, the Steelers RB2.

0:20.9

He currently goes as the 172nd player in drafts.

0:24.4

That's around 13 or 14 as the running back 56.

0:27.4

And look, this is just a mistake.

0:28.9

Because like I said, he's the Steelers RB2, but there's much more to it than that.

0:32.5

Because the Steelers didn't add anybody this year to compete with Warren.

0:36.1

They had seven draft picks and spent zero of them

0:58.9

position this was 40% better than his teammate naji harris and warren was actually 15 yards

1:04.3

created per touch showing how much he was doing after contact that shows his playmaking

1:08.1

ability and his explosiveness and one one more thing. Jalen Warren

1:11.8

led all running backs in rush efficiency right ahead of Nick Chup. Now, of course, this was

1:16.1

on a limited sample of just around 80 touches, but it shows you the upside he could have if

1:20.1

something happens to Najee. All right, then there's the number nine must have running back,

1:23.6

and that is the Cardinals running back James Connor. Look, Connor has been a top 10 running back the last two years, but based on where he gets drafted, you wouldn't even know that.
