It’s easy for me to sit here and point at players being overvalued and over-drafted after a season in which we saw Raheem Mostert and Kyren Williams finish as top-six running backs, but that’s exactly what I’m here to do. And I’m just here so I don’t get fined.

6 Overvalued Running Backs to Avoid (2024 Fantasy Football)

George Pickens took a step forward last season, logging over 1000 yards despite a revolving door at quarterback. He can still reach another level, and is in line for a leap regardless of who is under center. Russell Wilson supported a top-20 fantasy wide receiver every year from 2015 to 2022 (Courtland Sutton was the WR21 in 15 games with Wilson starting last year). Justin Fields helped DJ Moore finish as the WR6 last year in Chicago. Pickens is far and away the most talented skill player in Pittsburgh, and will be the focal point of Arthur Smith’s offense, just as AJ Brown was when they were together in Tennessee. Pickens is currently being drafted as the WR28 and 60th player overall. Anticipate him joining the likes of Chris Godwin, Deebo Samuel and Calvin Ridley as year-three breakout wide receivers.

Making tough decisions is what fantasy football is all about. But before the agony of weekly start/sit dilemmas, we have draft day choices to make. Some players have very strange average draft positions right now, which presents a value opportunity in fantasy drafts. Today, we’ll be looking at some players who are being drafted later than other players, but, to me, are the better bet for your fantasy rosters.

Draft This, Not That — Fantasy Football Draft Pivots for 2024

When looking at drafting in 2024, I have a couple of things that I cannot stress enough before you enter your draft rooms. 1. Come with a plan but be prepared to blow it up. The second your draft starts, you have a zero percent chance of predicting exactly what will happen. It’s important to be prepared for all of your top options to be gone at one point or another. In those instances, you can make or break your team, depending on how you react. At the start of every round, you should evaluate who is off your board, gauge what your top tiers at each position look like, and be prepared with a couple of names from each position that you are confident drafting.

Last week, the Longhorns lost starting running back CJ Baxter to a season ending knee injury. This week, it’s Christian Clark. The freshman RB suffered what has been described as “a serious lower leg injury” during Monday’s practice.  
Late Tuesday, University of Texas officials announced Clark suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the 2024 season.
Before Clark’s injury even happened, the Longhorns coaching staff were considering other options at running back. “We’re looking at some different options, and I think we’re looking at it creatively, whether it’s a couple of guys on the offensive side of the ball, a potential player...

Welcome to the 2024 Fantasy Football Must-Have RB Handcuffs article. With the way the RBs are used nowadays, the "RB Handcuff" is a dying breed. Most teams are running split backfields. This sucks for fantasy football, as it has dwindled the RB position. Anywho, with the limited options we have (see below*), I will highlight a couple of players that will be true handcuffs.

Zero Running Back (Zero RB for short) has become a trendy fantasy football draft strategy in the past few years. Zero RB was created with the idea that running backs in the NFL are largely replaceable and have high injury risk, so it is not worth spending early-round picks on players who are likely to get hurt.

The NFC East has been a battleground for some of the NFL’s most storied franchises, and the 2024 fantasy football season is no different. The Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants are all battling for supremacy in this highly competitive division; therefore, fantasy managers will have to evaluate player value in the context of this highly competitive division wisely.

When the Chicago Bears signed D’Andre Swift the thought was that he was going to be the lead back for the team. It is evidenced by Swift being drafted as the 21st running back off of the board in fantasy football drafts while Khalil Herbert is drafted 59th. However, if we learned anything this weekend it should be that this gap needs to be much tighter.

When I started researching this article, I initially thought of proving Trevor Lawrence was a top-12 quarterback. After digging into some numbers, it became clear that Trevor Lawrence is criminally underrated in most rankings. I believe that not only is Trevor Lawrence a top-12 quarterback this season, but he has top-10 potential and is a better value than most of the players ranked ahead of him.

Playing quarterback in the NFL is one of the most difficult positions in sports. That is why it is truly special to be considered elite at the position. While Dan Orlovsky was never considered an elite NFL quarterback, he still was good enough to play the position professionally for several years.
