They kick things off by debating Christian McCaffrey's workload concerns (8:41) before diving into the best RB draft strategy: should you secure an elite back early or wait for value later? (10:11). Next, the guys reveal their favorite running back sleepers (27:15), breakout candidates (28:50), and busts (42:37), highlighting the players who could define your fantasy season. Find out why Jonathon Brooks is soaring up ADP rankings, why second-year backs Bhayshul Tuten & Quinshon Judkins are primed for major leaps, and why Bucky Irving could disappoint with increased competition in Tampa Bay.
