We look at a handful of RBs who may have workload concerns or skill concerns and do our best to tell you what to expect in 2022. We use both standard and advanced metrics, offensive line considerations and injury history to evaluate these RBs. First, let's talk yards per carry and what it means in Fantasy (1:00) for David Montgomery, Ezekiel Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Najee Harris and more ... News and notes (17:15) as Drew Brees sends a weird tweet and Treylon Burks had a rough first practice. Then back to our RB discussion. We discuss Najee (23:30), Montgomery (26:15), Barkley (30:00) and Zeke (36:15) ... Moving on, let's talk about Cam Akers (42:40), James Conner (44:40), Josh Jacobs (49:30), Elijah Mitchell (51:25) and Leonard Fournette (55:40) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
