Gritty. Dirty. Always pushing the pile. Gain that crucial yard with the Fantasy Fullback Dive.

The Fantasy Fullback Dive Episode 16:

The Wolf and Truth take a break from Team Previews to bring you the Ultimate Rookie Running Back Preview. To make sure we bring you the most in-depth and hottest takes, we welcome the NFL Draft Insider’s Jared Tokarz. Which running back does Tokarz believe should be taken first, Leonard Fournette or Christian McCaffrey? Does The Wolf agree? What does he feel of Joe Mixon’s upside in Cincy, and is he as down on Dalvin Cook’s landing spot as our crew? Which back wasn’t on our radar, and probably not yours, but absolutely needs to be? And which back was The Wolf high on but is apparently “clunky”? Find out all this and so much more in the deepest rookie running back dive out there.

To make this Episode even more special, we answer the crowd’s callings and welcome back the one and only Simply Shamus. What has him all hot and bothered about Ameer Abdullah, Rob Kelley, and Isaiah Crowell? Plus, we debut our “Fantasy Glossary,” making this a true can’t miss show!

  • The Truth is the oldest (and wisest) member of the RSJ team. He loves reality TV, is skeptical of pass catching running backs, and thinks John Elway is the greatest quarterback of all time.
