Get $5 on your Balance +$5 on your Advertiser Balance
If you are new to fantasy football, you may have heard people say that running back is the most important position, and this can lead you to draft several running backs who you know without a doubt are very good football players. The problem with this approach, however, is that a player being good for their team and a player being good for fantasy football are not always the same things; before you enter the draft, make sure you understand how running back points are tallied, as this will help you to draft players who will be beneficial for your team. In most leagues, your running back will score one point for you for every 10 yards they pick up in the stats column, which means that having a running back who gets a lot of receiving yards is just as valuable as having a running back who gets a lot of rushing yards; and of course, if you can find a running back who catches a lot of passes and runs the ball well, this running back will be extremely valuable for your fantasy football team. If your running back rushed for 60 yards and got no touchdowns, he would get you 6 points, while if your running back rushed for only 1 yard but that 1 yard was a touchdown, you would also get 6 points; because touchdowns are so valuable, you will want to make sure you get as many running backs as you can who do not have “touchdown vultures” (that is, other players who sub in for your running back at the goal line) on their team, as this will heighten the chances of your running back getting you touchdowns as well as yards. And because it is so difficult to predict how many yards or touchdowns a player will tally from week to week, the main thing you should look for in drafting your running backs is how many “touches” each running back tends to get per game. If you have a decent running back who is the featured back on his team, this will be a lot better for you than getting a dynamic running back who splits time down the middle with someone else!
