Starting with Christian McCaffrey in Round 1 and ending with "Handcuff King of the Hill," we cover every running back you need to know about. Let's kick it off with Round 1 (3:10) and talk about if Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor deserve to be first round picks. In Round 2 (16:35), is Kyren Williams legit? Does Derrick Henry have another great season left in him? ... On to Round 3 (22:35) and the controversial De'Von Achane plus a few good values. And in Round 4 (30:10), we have a trio of RBs who might pay off before things get a little worse in Rounds 5 and 6 (36:45) ... Are the RBs in Rounds 7 (42:15) and 8 (52:35) much worse than RBs in the previous two rounds? We're talking about guys like Najee Harris, Raheem Mostert, the Bengals RBs, the Titans RBs and others compared to the Round 5/6 guys like James Conner, Zamir White, Rhamondre Stevenson and more. After we talk about those groups, we finish with the best players to take late and the best RB handcuffs (1:09:30) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
