2015 Fantasy Football: Rookie Running Backs

With the 2015 NFL season less than 3 months away, it’s time to start doing prep work for your fantasy football draft. Over the next few weeks I will be breaking down every position with a primer, rankings, sleepers, busts, and rookies.

No rookie running backs were drafted in the first round of the 2013 or 2014 NFL drafts, but that didn’t stop 4-5 rookie RBs from making a significant fantasy impact both seasons. It has historically been the easiest NFL position to step in right away and succeed. With a handful of rookie RBs producing from two draft classes without 1st round talent, this year’s rookie crop with two 1st rounders and eight backs in the top three rounds could provide a deep batch of fantasy assets for the 2015 season.
