Workhorse running backs
11 Jul
, 2022
I took a look at all the other running backs to have at least 300 carries in the last 20 years. There have been 91 other backs, so about 4-5 per year...
Older running backs

, 2022
On typical boards, the top 10 at running back is crowded by players who came into the league in 2017...
Jared Goff
10 Jul
, 2022
Perhaps he's been lucky to have good coaching staffs and players around him, or maybe merely staying healthy and showing up to work is a large part of it...
Transplant quarterbacks
9 Jul
, 2022
While there may be some issues with learning new offenses and adjusting to new teammates, good quarterbacks are good quarterbacks...
Jonathan Taylor
8 Jul
, 2022
It's remarkable considering Taylor opened the 2020 season as a backup, and potentially Indianapolis' 3rd-busiest running back (behind Marlon Mack, who started that game, and Nyheim Hines)...
Goal-line passing
7 Jul
, 2022
Other quarterbacks, after all, have received extensions that haven’t aged well, with Jared Goff and Carson Wentz leading the way...
Cole Kmet
4 Jul
, 2022
Kmet caught 60 passes last season, which is something about 8-10 tight ends per season, on average, have been able to do...
Red zone kickers
3 Jul
, 2022
In recent years, those offenses have tended to bog down around the goal line. In both of the last two seasons, in fact, they’ve had the most field goal likely offenses in the red zone...

In my mind, I figure a team that loses a lot would be passing more often, and could potentially have a top fantasy receiver...
Rookie receivers
26 Jun

Not that any of the first-round receivers look great to me. Drake London is going to an Atlanta team that I think will finish with the worst record in the league...
Third-round quarterbacks

Willis, according to a recent report, might be Tennessee's No. 3 quarterback, confirming the belief that he needs a lot of development...
Mason Crosby
25 Jun
, 2022
The Packers have won a league-high 39 games over the last three years – 13 wins in each of those seasons – but Crosby hadn’t been a notable kicker in any of them...
Cordarrelle Patterson
24 Jun
, 2022
Not a ton of such backs, however. In the last 20 seasons, 33 running backs who were at least 30 years old at the end of the season finished with top-20 numbers (using PPR scoring)...
