There is a mixed bag of pass-catching options and grinders with some touchdown value in this group of running backs. Most fantasy owners will select their RB3 between the sixth and eighth rounds. It is almost impossible to win fantasy football without depth at the running back position. In most seasons, an impact running back will emerge from this area of the draft. Finding him on draft day comes down to identifying a higher floor with a pass-catching back or a running back option that may land a full-time job after an injury.
