THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Week 6 gave us more than its fair share of storylines at the running back position, and most of them were good! Is D'Andre Swift breaking out in Detroit? Is Darrell Henderson officially in control of the Rams' backfield? Can we finally trust Bruce Arians when it comes to Ronald Jones? Michael Beller, Jake Ciely and Brandon Funston dive into those questions on this episode of The Athletic Fantasy Football Podcast.

Plus, the guys discuss how worried you should be about Mike Evans, Juju Smith-Schuster and Cam Newton, and take a look at Week 7 waivers.
