The running back position is volatile and injury-prone, making it risky to heavily invest in it.

Building a successful fantasy football team starts with effective player evaluation. It's crucial to assess players accurately based on their performance, potential, and situational factors.
Here are some key strategies to consider:
Study player production trends.
Analyze production from previous seasons. Look for consistency and any noticeable trends. This data provides valuable insights into a player's potential.
But remember past performance doesn't always equate to future success.
Consider a player's role in their team's offense.
Evaluate how a player fits into their team's scheme and who the play caller is.
Are they a primary option or a complementary piece? Understand their involvement in the game plan and how that translates to fantasy production.
