RB Committee Situations To Watch In 2020 Fantasy Football

The workhorse running back has become a rarity in the NFL. A look back at the 2012 NFL season reveals that 14 running backs carried the ball 250 times, and five finished with over 300 attempts. By 2019, those numbers were down to eight and two, respectively. 

RB committees are widespread now, and no one keeps better tabs on those situations than SportsLine Fantasy expert Jody Smith.

The San Francisco 49ers traded Matt Breida to Miami, changing the outlook in their backfield. NFL playoff hero Raheem Mostert could be the 49ers' main man, but Tevin Coleman remains in the mix.

"Mostert was an absolute stud down the stretch last season and should lead the way," Smith said in his detailed scouting report on the San Francisco RBs. "Mostert is the favorite to stay healthy and secure most of the early-down work."   

Smith analyzed nine other teams with crowded backfields and spotlighted a darkhorse candidate to surpass 240 carries. It is essential to dive into his RB committee primer if you want to execute an ideal Fantasy football draft.
