What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros, the Fantasy Football Podcast, with tough decisions,

specifically for running backs.

13 big tough decisions in your drafts you're dealing with.

You're trying to make between the first round and the end, what running back to take?

Well, we have got Tara Roberts and Jake Sealy here that are going to be answering those questions

because there's some difficult ones. Maybe, you know, the very tippy top isn't that. But

whether it's a two running back decision, three RBs, who to take, we've got the answers for you

with the toughest of tough questions.

Mr. Jake Seeley, are running backs really that tough for you this year?

Or do you feel just clarity across the board and wherever you're going to take them,

even if it's going to be in the later rounds?

I think there's a clarity in the fact that I feel more set about my tears than I ever have over.

So if you look at the athletic too with like projections, everything, there's like more clear cutoffs.

And it's not just, oh, the next drop off running back is 20 points behind.

It's like the next running back starts this collection of messy backfields or the next collection starts a rookie with competition alongside of them. Like, it's just, there's a very segment of a group. So I don't think we necessarily have, you don't have to get a running back around one or two of those. It's like, that's not the be all end all. But I think coming out of the first three rounds with at least one, so when you get to the fourth, fifth, sixth round, we've called the dead zone, whatever it might be, you can kind of say, you know what, I don't have to force myself for a running back. I can take the value at wide receiver and have four wide receiver to take one of the early tight ends because you're not chasing at that point where I think a lot of teams are going to be coming out of draft with two running backs in the fourth to six rounds and kind of be feeling frustrated in the end anyway. Yeah, Tara, this experiment that we're going to get into where, you know, it's literally going to be, we're going to look at the variation of a round, the running backs that exist in there, and then we are going to have a, who would you rather? That's what this is going to look like. In doing this experiment, did you find any that surprised you or any surprise revelations that came from having these discussions of running backs? Yeah, I did have one. I always love doing this stuff because it really allows you to bump players up together and really think about and say, hey, wait, maybe I should adjust my rankings on this. So yeah, I'm with Jake. This is a, this is fun format. Running backs are, they're fun and a little bit more clear this season, a lot more

clear than last season, I'll say that.

Well, if you guys want to check out whether it's ranks or ADP, make sure you go to Fantasypros.com slash ADP, Fantasypros.com slash NFL slash rankings. You can check out that. You can switch between the tabs. You can kind of see the guys that we're talking about. obviously the we're using the overall ranks and the ADPs over on Fantasy Pros to kind of dictate where these players are.

So, of course, there can be a variation to their values or what sites are going on, but just follow us.

So let's just dive right into this, the tough running back decisions that you have got to make this year.

And of course, number one is at the very tippy top. It's literally number one because, yes, you could take
