2/24/22: No Punt Intended 2022 NFL Offseason Preview - Running Backs

It's officially the offseason in the NFL!   So what does that mean? It's time to begin previewing the 2022 season!   That's right, it's NEVER too early! Last week, we previewed the Quarterback position with Lauren Carpenter. This week, we're looking at Running backs with a new face in the fantasy football industry -- one of the newest writers on the Club Fantasy team, Emily Lefco!   The Rams won the Super Bowl with little cap space dedicated to the RB position, while the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl with Joe Mixon, the 7th highest paid RB in the league. Doesn't sound like there's a right or wrong way to spend money on the position if you want to win, so what does that mean for this year's free-agent crop of RBs?   Leonard Fournette once again hits free agency after finishing as RB5 in fantasy this year. James Conner was a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals on a one-year deal, finishing as the RB6. Both should be looking for longer-term deals with higher AAV than last year. Will a team pay up for them?  Those two highlight this year's crop, with others like Melvin Gordon, Rashaad Penny, Ronald Jones, and plenty more looking for paydays ahead of the NFL Draft, when a new, younger crop of RBs enter the league.   And that doesn't include a big name like Saquon Barkley, who could find his way to another team as the Giants look to revamp their offense.   Where will they go? We'll take a look and give you our thoughts!
