Running Backs

Saquan Barkley is back? What is up with CMC. Johnathan Taylor? What about Najee Harris?

Saquan Barkley has looked like he has made it back to his rookie form. He looks explosive and all-around phenomenal. He has 317 yards and two touchdowns this year running. This is an average of over 100 yards per game. If he continues at this pace he will be putting pressure on the Giants to give him a giant extension.

Christian McCaffery has not been bad, but he is already questionable for Week 4. Injury problems have been slowing him down for a while now. He currently has 243 yards and one touchdown. He doesn’t look as explosive as before. I would definitely take Barkley over CMC right now.

Johnathan Taylor. The number 1 pick in many fantasy drafts. He has 286 yards and one TD. He hasn’t been bad, but he does not look as good as last year. He has not had as many eye-opening plays or stat lines.

Najee Harris is a second-year running back for the Steelers, and he had high expectations. He has not had a 100-yard game yet this year. 128 yards and 1 touchdown. Very underwhelming.

These are just some players I felt like highlighting.
