Rookie Running Backs With A Potential Workhorse Role for Fantasy Football

It is as difficult to find a workhorse running back for fantasy football as it is to find a winning slot machine in Atlantic City. The league-wide "running-back-by-committees" have ruined the fantasy values of a plethora of players in recent seasons.

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Ja'Tavion Sanders

Many analysts regarded Ja'Tavion Sanders as the TE2 of the 2024 NFL Draft behind Brock Bowers. However, Sanders experienced a "draft slide" on draft night.

Fantasy Football Rookie RBs Destined For Committees In 2024

Rookies are extremely important in fantasy football. In dynasty leagues they ARE the draft and in re-draft leagues, they can be season-defining draft picks or waiver wire pick-ups.
