Commitee Meetings backfield categories:Last season, this 'Committee Meetings' column focused on some of the most headache-inducing committee backfields for fantasy owners to deal with. This season, for the Mike Yastrzemski Jersey sake of reducing some of those headaches we thought it would be helpful to put all of these committee backfields into categories based on how carries are projected to be split, the various roles each running back plays in their respective situations and the philosophies of different teams when it comes to the all-important run game. Hopefully you can use this categorization as a guideline to make decisions on whom to start each week, build some bench depth at the running back position, handcuff your starters and uncover some potential waiver-wire targets along the way. As the season evolves, these categories will evolve and be revised depending on how things shape up each week. A look ahead will also be provided to preview upcoming matchups and hone in on some hidden value plays. Remember that this is not a of fantasy running backs, but more of a reference on how different teams project to utilize their running backs. Be sure to check Enderson Franco Jersey back for weekly updates that will reflect backfield storylines as they develop over the course of the season. Change-of-Pace DuosNow we're getting into more of the true committee oriented backfields. Here, we'll look at the teams with what are referred to as "one-two punch" or a "thunder and lightning" running back duo. This means there will likely be a bigger, more powerful back in on early downs to pound the ball up the middle. That player may be spelled by a quicker, lighter back with solid hands who pose more of a threat on pa sing downs, to throw defenses off balance. These pa sing-down backs also bring more value to the table in PPR leagues. Most of the lead backs here should provide low-end RB2 value ( is an outlier of this group as he is poised to bring solid RB1 value). | // While Hill will be a late first/early second rounder on draft day, Bernard may be overlooked by some owners. Both backs project to be highly involved in what should be a more balanced ' offense that spread around 494 total backfield touches last year. | // There is some concern out of Detroit regarding Bell's conditioning heading into training camp. He underwent , so this will be a backfield to keep a close eye on as fantasy draft day approaches. Abdullah, a rookie out of Nebraska, took first team Steven Duggar Jersey reps during OTAs. If he remains under the radar, Abdullah could present a huge bargain opportunity for fantasy owners. | // With veteran now in Indy, Hyde projects as the lead back and . He flashed some power and explosivene s last season, but there are worries about San Francsico's offensive line which could hamper his production. Bush will likely get enough work on pa sing downs to bring flex value in deeper leagues, but will be much more of an a set in PPR formats. owners will have to hope the new coaching regime in San Francisco shells out more than 397 backfield touches of 2014--fourth from last in the league a season ago. | // Ellington will likely come at a low cost on draft day, with an ADP hovering as a late Round 4 to early Round 5 back. For a Chris Shaw Jersey runner who projects to , that's a steal. This situation could develop into a very even split between the incumbent and rookie Johnson, as the season rolls on. The will likely make an effort to preserve Ellington's health for the entire season, as durability is an i sue. | // Gordon may be in the best fantasy situation of any rookie running back. He projects as the starter for the , with the PPR-specialist Wodhead working in on pa sing plays. The latter is fully healthy after playing in just three games last season, and should put a refreshing spin a ' backfield in need of some gusto. | // Offseason reports have the rookie Yeldon tagged as a , but he landed in an offense that struggled to run the ball last season due to offensive line i sues. In fact, Jacksonville ranked dead last in the NFL in total backfield touches last season with just 373 ( collected 449 touches by himself). Things may not play out as easy as it all looks on paper. Robinson proved last season that he can be an effective runner, but his size will certainly limit his usage and fantasy ceiling.
