The Importance of Middle Round Team RB2s in Fantasy Football

If a player is the second running back on his own team, but he still has that type of ADP, then that player is probably pretty good himself. For example, in 2018, Tariq Cohen was drafted in the eighth round. Jordan Howard, his teammate, was getting picked up in the middle of the third round. If you're raising and fear your players up draftboards into that dead zone area, they're going to have a tougher time exceeding expectation. Meanwhile, their teammates are going to be able to do well themselves.
