Last week’s podcast discussed where David Johnson might be in this year’s fantasy running back rankings and this week’s podcast takes that a step further. Looks like Todd Gurley and Le’Veon Bell and maybe Ezekiel Elliott have a step on Johnson right now, with Alvin Kamara in the conversation as well. Todd looks at those top five guys and then discusses guys like Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis in terms of their value in later rounds.
