Shawn Siegele breaks down the key backfields heading into Week 6, including deep-league stash options, look-ahead free agent adds, and tactics for exploiting schedule quirks.

Both of my earlier articles this week have centered around the running back position. On Monday, we examined the Return of the Veteran Star and considered the impact of stud performances from early-round picks. On Wednesday, the focus switched to dynasty and seismic shifts in the landscape that even included a new No. 1 overall. Today the emphasis moves to your bench. How do we address the RB2 position as bye weeks begin?

Before we jump in, make sure to check out some of our other RB analysis:

  • Blair Andrews covers the usage and workload trends for each backfield in the Zero RB Watch.
  • Corbin Young takes you behind the scenes of elite RB performances in Advanced RB Stats.
  • Angad Uppal helps you take advantage of the schedule in the Buy Low Report.

Colm Kelly and I help you locate the most likely RB league winners for 2022 and work through realistic strategies for acquiring them.
