Last year, I made the mistake of saying that running back is the easiest position to evaluate. It seemed so obvious: check out the rushing averages, look at who is returning, boom… churn out ratings. That was before I wildly misevaluated several running back groups.
I wish there was some grand lesson to pull, but frankly, I just whiffed on some guys who either turned out to be real good or real bad. So we try again this year, looking at the top returning runners by rushing average.
