Summary

Of course talent matters, but workload could be even more important for RBs. We'll try to identify the workhorse RBs throughout the draft after we detail how the landscape has changed since 2020 (6:45). There seem to be fewer aging, lousy RBs with workhorse potential. But the Year 2 RBs (11:15) offer a lot of hope when it comes to workload. We go through each one and discuss! Can D'Andre Swift and J.K. Dobbins get the carries we're hoping for? Is Antonio Gibson a workhorse? ... Moving on to the 2020 workhorses who did not finish in the Top 12 in PPR per game scoring last season (33:00), it's Chris Carson, Josh Jacobs, David Johnson and more. Are they going to be heavily featured in their offenses again in 2021? ... Finally we discuss David Montgomery (45:30) and Melvin Gordon (48:00). And who has a better chance to be a workhorse: Mike Davis or Myles Gaskin (49:30)? ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
