In-Season Dead Zone: Avoid Veteran RBs Without Upside

Get out of the "RB Dead Zone" while you still can! Join Ryan Wormeli and Andrew Erickson for their Week 5 fantasy football trade advice with their top running backs to buy low or sell high.

Is it time to jump on the Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt hype train? Will Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson bounce back from an underwhelming primetime performance? Plus, has New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo become one of the league's best workhorses already?

The Pros make an escape plan before it's too late!
