Fantasy Football Watch: Running Backs Good At Depth

With just a few weeks until the start of the 2015 NFL regular season, fans should be getting ready to line up their best players for their fantasy football team. We are going to take a look at which running backs would be the best to put on your weekly roster, depending on whether you were able to draft any of them or not. It is no good to just pick any running back, but rather those players that have high chances of actually scoring in order to give you points.

This is why we’re going to take a look at the top running back for each professional team that has the ability to perform well near the goal-line and to score touchdowns; whether it is using their speed, quickness, or strength to do so. Here is the top pick for each team:

Team	Player	Reason
Cowboys	Joseph Randle	Quickness
Giants	Andre Williams	38 carries inside red-zone
Eagles	Ryan Mathews	Strong for goal-line situations
Washington	Alfred Morris	Good offensive line
Bears	Matt Forte	Big and strong at line
Lions	Joique Bell	Between-the-tackles guy
Packers	Eddie Lacy	20 rushing attempts at goal
Vikings	Matt Asiata	9 touchdowns from 7 yards or closer
Falcons	Devonta Freeman	Best suited for short yardage situations
Panthers	Cam Newton	33 career rushing touchdowns
Saints	Mark Ingram	9 touchdowns in 2014
Buccaneers	Doug Martin	Powerful runner
Cardinals	Andre Ellington	Short yardage go-to player
49ers	Carlos Hyde	Better at closed spaces than Bush
Seahawks	Marshawn Lynch	He’s a beast, period
Rams	Benny Cunningham	Most success at goal-line
Bills	LeSean McCoy Fred Jackson	Both have impressive red zone stats, and either could fill the position
Dolphins	Lamar Miller	Stronger to break tackles
Patriots	LeGarrette Blount	Lead power back
Jets	Chris Ivory	Great yards-after-contact runner
Ravens	Justin Forsett	7 red zone touchdowns in 2014
Bengals	Jeremy Hill	Strengthened lower body
Browns	Isaiah Crowell	Bell-cow back with 8 touchdowns in 2014
Steelers	Le’Veon Bell	Great at running and catching, deadly combo in red zone
Texans	Arian Foster	Wait for his return, as no one else has stepped up
Colts	Frank Gore	49 career touchdowns inside of the 20-yard line
Jaguars	Toby Gerhart	Biggest back and tough inside runner
Titans	David Cobb	Bigger and stronger
Broncos	C.J. Anderson	Likely to get the most carries this season
Chiefs	Jamaal Charles	Good vision and patience for holes to open
Raiders	Latavius Murray	Good burst and push at the line
Chargers	Branden Oliver	Best option for red zone situations

So, when picking one of the two running backs, be sure to include one that is good in the red zone or close to the goal-line, as they will more than likely be put in to push the ball into the end zone. No need to worry, as your fantasy football team will perform quite well if you take these players into consideration when playing.
