There are several worthy starters that could hit the open market, but the value of running backs and the number of good ones out there could drive down demand.
You hear and see it all the time these days: Running backs just aren’t valued as they once were.
Whether that’s true or teams are just always looking for the younger, fresher prospect at the position, there could be some talented ones hitting the open market. Scout.com has five potential free-agent running backs rated with four stars, meaning they would be a starter for most teams. In all, 14 possible free agents at the position are considered “potential starters,” meaning they would plug-and-play nicely with a team that doesn’t have that obvious starter already on the roster.
