Fantasy Football 2023 RB committees: Breaking down AFC depth charts, finding draft day workhorses and sleepers
Fantasy and NFL expert R.J. White projects how the AFC's running back committees will play out in 2023.
If you draft Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry or a few other top Fantasy running backs, you'll face no concerns about usage from week to week because you've landed one of the ever-shrinking number of workhorse backs in the NFL. But those types of running backs are in short supply, and 12-team Fantasy Football leagues typically have 24 starting running backs on a weekly basis, with the potential for more in flex spots. That's why it's crucial to understand the composition of every backfield to find value throughout 2023 Fantasy Football drafts and on the waiver wire.
Before you finalize your Fantasy Football rosters for 2023, you need to see what Fantasy and NFL expert R.J. White has to say about every running back committee in the AFC.
If you're a regular subscriber to SportsLine, you probably know White from dominating NFL picks for years, but did you know he actually got his start in sports media as a fantasy baseball and football analyst? He even finished No. 1 among all experts for his draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site. White has continued to excel at season-long and dynasty Fantasy baseball and football formats, and this year he's sharing his Fantasy expertise with SportsLine subscribers.
Last year, White's RB committees column in the Fantasy Football Draft Bible tapped Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson as someone worth targeting in drafts. "Fading the conventional wisdom with this backfield could pay off handsomely with Stevenson as a quality sleeper," he said. White also noted D'Onta Foreman was "a name to tuck away for the end of drafts" and Khalil Herbert was "one of the best late-round RBs you can target as a sleeper." All three paid off for Fantasy managers in 2022.
Now, White has analyzed all 32 NFL backfields to determine which committees provide the most Fantasy value heading into the 2023 season. One AFC sleeper we can share: Texans running back Devin Singletary, whose "4.7 yards per carry career mark is well ahead of what (Dameon) Pierce did as a rookie last year," White says.
White is also targeting one completely off-the-radar back who could be a piece of a surprise RB committee in 2023. Don't miss his AFC running back committee breakdown as you prepare for the 2023 Fantasy Football season, and you can find his NFC running back committee breakdown in the Fantasy Football Draft Bible as well.
