Summary

We're scouring through our running back rankings and analyzing how we have them tiered. Should Ezekiel Elliott be taken after Leonard Fournette and Saquon Barkley (11:30), is Christian McCaffrey's upside capped (19:24), and will Jay Ajayi be a much larger part of Philadelphia's offense this season (30:35)? Towards the end, we name some late-round backs who might be worth targeting, like Jeremy Hill (56:46) and Doug Martin (58:57).
