Backfield timeshares have been the norm in the NFL for long enough now that fantasy owners have fully adapted. Outside of a few true workhorses—David Johnson, Le’Veon Bell, Ezekiel Elliott, and a handful of others—most backs are going to split touches to a noticeable degree. Even so, committee remains a four-letter word in most fantasy circles. It’s one thing for a lead back to give up something on the order of 30% of his backfield’s touches. The word committee, however, raises the specter of an even split, and all too often that simply serves to torpedo the fantasy value of two players.
