Chris Welsh and Pat Fitzmaurice were joined by special guest Scott Pianowski to break down the FantasyPros Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) for the top 36 fantasy football running backs, identifying the biggest values, potential busts and breakout candidates at RB.

Is Omarion Hampton being drafted too high? Can Kyren Williams deliver another RB1 season? Should fantasy managers fade Quinshon Judkins at his current price? And is TreVeyon Henderson becoming one of the best values in fantasy drafts as his ADP falls?
