Summary

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts. The running back landscape looks a little different this season with some question marks at the top and what looks like great value in Rounds 4-6. We'll go through the news and notes at the top of the show and then get into Jamey's RB tiers (4:35). Tier 1 (11:30) has only Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler while Tier 2 (14:10) has three more RBs who will likely be first round picks. How safe are these guys? Does Elijah Mitchell hurt McCaffrey? Could Saquon Barkley sit out games? ... Tier 3 (17:40) is loaded with talent and Tier 4 (24:10) is where it gets pretty interesting. Guys like Joe Mixon, Najee Harris and Jahmyr Gibbs are tough to evaluate ... Tiers 5 (32:45) and 6 (41:50) seem like really good spots to draft a RB this season. J.K. Dobbins, Dameon Pierce, Alexander Mattison, Ken Walker, D'Andre Swift and more could provide incredible value. And we finish with Tiers 7 (48:40) and 8 (50:25) with guys like Khalil Herbert, Isiah Pacheco and Zach Charbonnet ...
