Dave Gettleman is the last general manager to select a running back in the top five in the NFL draft. In this case last means both that he is the most recent to do it, and that no one else will ever do it again. Should Big Blue continue to struggle, and Gettleman be fired as a result, that’s nothing to be celebrated. But, boy, would we have a new pastime for him.
Fantasy football is the last bastion for those who value running backs above all other positions. Is it too much to ask the strategies for building a fantasy roster even loosely resemble those of the NFL?
