The NFL's Most Likely Running Back Committees in 2016

There are a lot of scary acronyms out there.

The SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic was a huge boogeyman in the media in the mid-2000’s. No one likes to deal with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). And, as Jack Black once said, “I’m fairly certain that YOLO (You Only Live Once) is ‘carpe diem’ for idiots.”

But no acronym is more daunting to fantasy football players than the dreaded RBBC (Running Back-By-Committee), which has dashed the value of one of our favorite NFL positions against the rocks.

RBBC operates based on the theory that multiple running backs divvying up the backfield responsibilities will allow the running game to be more efficient and the players to stay healthier.
