Running Backs

Todd Gurley (Los Angeles Rams), Fantasy Points Last Season: 383.3

This comes as no surprise with Todd Gurley being the highest scoring player in fantasy last season. Gurley was able to showcase his ability to be a vital part of the Rams passing game, while also running the ball with authority. With another off-season in Sean McVay’s offense, look for Gurley to be more comfortable in his new role. It’s hard to match the numbers he had last season but with a player as talented as he is, it’s definitely possible.

Le’Veon Bell (Pittsburgh Steelers), Fantasy Points Last Season: 341.6

Le’Veon Bell has been one of the most consistent dual-threat backs in the NFL the past few years. Bell was second in scoring for RBs, with Gurley as the only guy to be ahead of him. Bell will be playing with a chip on his shoulder this season as the Steelers failed to give him a long-term deal yet again. According to Adam Schefter, Bell’s agent said this is likely his last year playing in the steel city. He’ll definitely want to show other teams his true worth, so expect huge numbers for Bell.

From Le'Veon Bell's agent Adisa Bakari: "His intention was to retire as a Steeler. But now that there's no deal, the practical reality is, this now likely will Le'Veon's last season as a Steeler."

More: "It became clear the Steelers wanted to pay the position, not the player."

Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints), Fantasy Points Last Season: 320.4

Alvin Kamara came out of nowhere last season and was a key part of the Saints success. Kamara was added from the waiver wire early last year, so that goes to show that guys you add after the draft can make a gigantic difference. With Mark Ingram being suspended the first few games, Kamara will see a bulk of the touches from the backfield. Kamara can easily duplicate the numbers he had last season especially in a high powered offense like the Saints.
