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.

Remember, Todd answers all your fantasy football questions personally at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
