We know running backs are coming off the board early and often, but let's talk about the tiers.

0:09.8

How does Heath coming see the running back tiers in 2021?

0:13.8

Well, I know Heath thinks Christian McCaffrey is tier one, and Dalvin Cook is tier two.

0:19.3

So, you know, we didn't really talk too much about that on the full-length episode of fantasy football today, Heath.

0:25.2

But let me ask you this in a salary cap league and a $200 budget, give me some prices for McCaffrey and Cook and then for RB3, whoever that might be.

1:08.4

Now, we've got in, you know, how many players would you say, how many tiers of running backs are there when you're really happy, confident in them as your starter and fantasy?

1:20.7

Well, you basically get through 23, so it depends. If you're calling McCaffrey a tier and cook a tier, then it's obviously a lot. Let's just say they're one, and then the second tier gets you basically through the end of round one.

1:32.3

Third tier is the early round two or full round two guys for me.
