Summary
The thirst for running backs has never been stronger in fantasy football, with 12 of them coming off the board in the first 14 picks of many drafts. Adam Levitan, Evan Silva and Mike Leone discuss how this changes drafts and how to handle it. Should we be passing on stud WRs for RBs?

And with the regular season just around the corner, we have a Bundle Package (Draft Kit plus In-Season for cheapest price we'll have all season) live on the site as well.
