RBBC – Painful, but here to stay

As a fantasy football fan it pains me to see so many running backs stuck in a committee situation, I’m looking at you Maurice Jones-Drew and Deuce Mcallister. It’s easy to look at those two backs and wonder what kinds of numbers they could put up if they were the only options on their respective teams. However, I think it’s a double-edged sword that could work for the best.

In previous seasons the RBBC hurt because guys like Tiki Barber, a moment of silence for the Giants great, would get all the yards and Brandon Jacobs would get all the TDs. It’s a little different now. Look at Chicago, Jacksonville, New Orleans, etc. where teams are using two backs and both of them are excelling. I think the RBBC is better for some backs. Fragile Fred Taylor, Corey Dillon and Deuce McAllister all managed to stay healthy this year while putting up solid numbers.

My advice, don’t ignore every RBBC situation. If it’s run properly with the right personnel it could your team to a fantasy championship.
