Our Favorite Mid-Round RBs (06/27 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and wherever else you listen to podcastsNeed a running back in Rounds 5-8? Trying to decide between Jonathon Brooks, Najee Harris, Aaron Jones and other guys in that range? Dave and Jamey tell you how they rank it and where the value is. We give our thoughts on each player starting with Zamir White, Rhamondre Stevenson and David Montgomery (6:00). Stevenson could see an increase in carries but a decrease in catches. Is White good enough to be productive for a full season? ... Let's look at Brooks, Harris and Tony Pollard (22:40). Why draft Pollard when you can draft Tyjae Spears later? Can Harris be better than we've seen in his first three seasons? ... We finish with (32:30) James Conner, D'Andre Swift, Aaron Jones and Zack Moss (46:30). Age is the concern for Conner and Jones. Swift could certainly benefit if Khalil Herbert gets traded and our feelings on Moss are complicated to say the least! ...
