Bill Belichick’s management of the Patriots’ backfield has caused fantasy football players stressful moments in past seasons. New England’s proclivity for committee at the running back position has often diluted fantasy value.
In 2018, it appears on the surface that this could continue. Dion Lewis left for greener pastures in free agency, but all of the other running backs of a year ago have remained. Added to the mix is veteran Jeremy Hill and two rookies, Sony Michel and Ralph Webb.
Discerning which Patriots running back will garner the most fantasy points this year can be a difficult task without proper study.
