We've seen running backs be pushed down draft boards in recent seasons, but is that a mistake? On Part One of our RB Preview, we take a broad look at the position with our general thoughts and philosophies. We also talk about the great Christian McCaffrey (4:15) and if his age and workload are concerning, plus how many RBs should be drafted in the first round (7:45) ... What is our overall RB strategy this season (14:45)? Is RB actually safer than WR when we talk about the Top 12 in average draft position (23:25)? And how do we feel about RB/RB this season (28:15)? ... How our strategies change in different formats (35:35) plus sleepers (40:40) breakouts (44:15) and busts (48:15). We talk about Ty Chandler, Rico Dowdle, Bijan Robinson, Aaron Jones, Saquon Barkley and more.
