Okay, you now have everything you need. We've seen the camp reports and the important preseason

0:04.8

usage. It's now clear who the valuable fantasy running backs are, but some of these dudes are being

0:09.6

taken far too late. So let's discuss the top 10 must have running backs for 2023. And we'll begin

0:15.1

with Ty Chandler, the Minnesota Vikings running back, who's their clear cut RB2 at least. And we could

0:20.3

take a look at his usage

0:21.5

in the preseason games. In the first game, he ended up playing 22 of 29 snaps with the starters

0:26.6

in Alexander Madison resting. This is great usage. And it only gets better in the second

0:31.0

preseason game where he sees 36 of 41 snaps. He looks explosive in both of these games,

0:36.0

and he's taking a command of the RB2 load.

0:38.0

And now overall in the preseason, he's been great.

0:40.2

As you can see right here above my head, he's the number two graded rusher out of any running

0:44.6

back who saw at least 20 touches in the first two games.

0:47.2

And he was the seventh graded running back in terms of receiving usage and productivity as

0:51.4

a pass catcher.

0:52.3

Now, Chandler has all the tools to do more than just

0:54.9

be Alexander Madison's backup. Because as you can see from the player profile workout metrics,

0:58.9

he has elite speed, one of the fastest 40-yard dashes of all time in the four threes. And if you

1:03.6

scroll down a little bit, his production in college, especially his last year as a starter at UNC,

1:08.7

he averaged nearly six yards per carry well above average. Look, he has a

1:12.1

real shot to take work from Alexander Madison. Madison was last an explosive run rate last year

1:17.0

and ranks outside the top 50 running backs in yards per touch since 2020. So your takeaway here is that

1:22.0

the number 10 must have running back in Ty Chandler is worth a pick, especially because of where he goes.
