What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. Running Back Ranks. First week of the playoffs, this is Week 15 running back ranks. I'm Chris Welsh. That is Pat Fitzmoreson, Andrew Erickson. We've got the top 36 RBs we're going to be going through. and Fitsy, we're super lucky that we don't have a buy week, you know, for the most important running back, at least for the first week of the playoffs. Unless I did see a lot of people starting last week, and that was brutal. But we got everybody back and we're kind of ready to roll. Yes, it is nice to have the full arsenal. and of course I was lucky I made the playoffs in one league

0:40.6

because in week

0:41.4

4 Yes, it is nice to have the full arsenal. And of course, I was lucky I made the playoffs in one

0:40.2

league because in week 14, I was going against a team that had Christian McCaffrey on by,

0:46.5

and I beat that team by like five points. Oh, sick. Oh, sicko. Yeah, I, that was a real

0:52.3

greasy entrance into the playoffs, but I will take it.

0:55.3

That is sicko.

0:56.5

So do you have any good sicko stories where Christian McCaffrey was just sitting on a bench, Erickson?

1:00.9

Or any sicko playoff entries?

1:06.0

Break any hearts?

1:07.0

Nothing that I can report.

1:08.3

That's better than the fit story.

1:10.2

Okay.

2:01.1

It seemed like a little heartbreaker. Like you beat somebody by like half a point and just ruin their day. But we'll hopefully not have any days ruined here. We'll be going through all these RBs. If you guys want to follow along, go to fantasy pros.com slash rankings. That is where ECR is at, even in the playoffs. It will adjust throughout the week, so make sure to continuously check it out all the way until kickoff on Sunday. Let's look at the big board, not wasting any more time. Your top 12 running backs for the week, the aforementioned Christian McCaffrey coming in at number one versus the Titans this week. Jamir Gibbs at two, Bejohn Robinson at three, Devon A. Chan, Derek Henry and James Cook. That is your top six. Jonathan Taylor all the way down at seven versus Seattle, but obviously quarterback might be into play there. Bucky Irving, Sequin, Barclays, Josh Jacobs, Travis Etienne, and Chase Brown. Chalk, talk, chalk, all the players that there aren't big questions about.

2:06.1

Should there be any questions about Travis E.T.N. though, the Jaguars have been awesome.

2:10.9

Tutin has loomed, but E.Tian continues to roll. He's going up against the Jets this week.

2:16.2

He comes in as running back 11. Both of you have got him higher. So Erickson, actually, why don't you kick us off here? You are the

2:18.0

highest running back eight for you for Travis Eton. Talked about it on the prediction show with

2:24.4

Worm earlier this week. I think E.T.N. is going to be a top eight fantasy running back this week.

2:28.3
