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?
