Who's the most overrated fantasy RB? Best value? Late-round steal to target? ZachCohenFB breaks down JaimeEisner's fantasy football RB rankings & assigns some superlatives. FrontOffice33 | FantasyFootball
Like Jacobs, Gibson did produce some pretty big games, so we know Gibson is capable of RB1 performances. Also like Jacobs, Gibson’s value would be much more enticing if he were being drafted a round or two later. There’s just too much evidence to suggest a role reduction for Gibson, which severely caps his weekly upside. And even if Gibson maintains Washington’s RB1 role, Head Coach Ron Rivera doesn’t seem eager to give Gibson more than the 56.7% of snaps he saw in 2021.
With Edmonds gone, Williams could be a sneaky replacement. Prior to Edmonds’ injury in Week 9, he saw 18% more snaps than James Conner. Of course, Conner‘s snaps were more valuable since he was the primary back in short-yardage and the red zone. Without Edmonds, Conner went on to have a phenomenal fantasy season. This isn’t a knock on Conner since I think he can still be a consistent RB2 for your team while still splitting a workload.
I just can’t understand why some people are writing off Williams entirely. Jaime has Williams a whopping 14 spots higher than Williams’ fantasy football ADP, which I really like. Jaime has also Williams surrounded by Michael Carter, Miles Sanders, Rhamondre Stevenson, Kenyan Drake, Melvin Gordon and James Cook. If you find yourself searching for a running back in that tier, don’t forget about Williams. He’s a true sleeper heading into the 2022 fantasy season.
Well, according to ADP, no one is certain about the Seattle backfield. Heck, I don’t even think Head Coach Pete Carroll knows what to do with his running backs. After all, the Seahawks haven’t exactly been too consistent in handing out carries to their running backs lately. Carroll often rides the hot hand, which explains Penny’s second-half burst to the top of the fantasy leaderboard. We even saw Chris Carson stay fantasy relevant a season ago.
