If you're drafting running backs in fantasy this year, and I know you are, well, listen up.

0:04.0

Because there's a list of running backs that everyone is talking about and taking way too high right now.

0:08.8

And it might cost you your league if you take those guys. So today I'm going to be breaking

0:12.4

down five running backs. You should be drafting instead. And if you've watched my channel before,

0:16.1

over the last seven years, I've been making these videos to help you win more leagues. We helped over 10,000 people win their leagues last year. And I'm going to do it today for you listening to this right now.

0:24.3

So let's get into it and start right away with Trevion Henderson, the Patriot's second round

0:28.2

rookie running back. This is one of my absolute favorite picks of fantasy drafts, especially when

0:32.0

you talk about his upside right now. But here's where he's currently going in drafts. Henderson goes outside the top 20 running

0:37.5

backs. He's going in the fifth rounds of draft, 53rd overall, and he's often taken after guys

0:43.0

like David Montgomery, who goes right next to him. Heck, another rookie in Quinchan,

0:46.8

Junkins, but I want to specifically talk about Henderson versus David Montgomery. Believe it or not,

0:51.6

I've gotten a lot of questions about this exact scenario, and it makes sense. They go right next to each other in draft. For me personally, I want Trevion

0:57.7

Henderson, and it's not even close, and let's get into it. Because when you dive deeper into

1:01.3

Trayvion Henderson's profile and situation, it just becomes more and more obvious. For starters,

1:05.6

this guy's resume is absolutely legit. Back when he was a true freshman at Ohio State, he goes for over 1,200 yards, 19 touchdowns.

1:12.2

Then he has a couple of down seasons as he's competing with other top stud talents there.

1:16.8

But even last year in 2024, competing with another second round pick in Quintan Junkins, he put up over 1,000 yards.

1:22.4

He had 11 touchdowns. He actually improved as a receiver in his final year with 27 receptions and posted a

1:28.7

career high 7.5% target share just showing that he can actually catch patches, which if you know

1:32.9

his profile, this is obvious. I mean, this dude put up over 1,500 total yards as a true freshman

1:37.4

and over his last 667 carries, he has zero college fumbles. And last year alone, by the way,

1:43.0

his thousand yards are nice, but he didn't do it on a lot of
