Episode 3: Fantasy Football - Top Running Backs, Bounce Backs and More!

We know it's June, but DURNIT, August will be here before you know it and you will have no idea what to do in your draft! Well, get a head start, prep early by listening to Episode 3 of AfterHours! In this episode we talk about potential 1st round RBs that will be taken in drafts and if you can really trust them as 1st rounders. We also go over the surprise players from 2014 and if we think they will play at a similar level in 2015. What about the players that didn't play up to expectations? We talk about them too and if they will bounce back this season!

However, the best part of this episode is an awesome game that Ian put together that included some rapping and 12 year old NFL trivia for one of the most forgotten about players this season. Listen in and get in the game!

Fantasy Football: Mike's 2015 RB Rankings

Eddie is holding strong at the top of my rankings...but AP is slowly sneaking up...

The bell cows of your fantasy squad. Drafting the right tandem of RBs is probably the MOST important part of your draft day. With this position being so hit-and-miss, I hope these rankings help make your decision easier! I've included "Steal Status" as the round that you just can't pass that player up and the $$$ will be filled in soon for Auction league players!
