Fantasy running backs are a lot like those perfect cookies. They’re a tasty treat to nab in your draft, as long as they don’t crumble.

And they can crumble in so many ways — injury, poor performance, coaching situation, timeshares, etc.

The player projections takes into account playing time, expected use/touches, coaching tendencies, part performance and injury history. The DVQ measures these projections against a player’s schedule and factors in positional depth and value above replacement.Speaking of Swift, now he is on an explosive Eagles offense. What does that mean for his fantasy value?

But we have others in that range we like. The Broncos’ Javonte Williams is on his way back from a Week 4 ACL tear last season. He has a similar ADP to Swift. Is there risk? Sure, but you can also grab backup Samaje Perine two rounds later as insurance.But there is another back we like even better. David Montgomery is no longer in Chicago, clearing a path to playing time for Khalil Herbert, whose 5.7 yards per carry last season were tops among all RBs.

The Saints’ Alvin Kamara is dropping after his three-game suspension was revealed, but if he makes it to the sixth or seventh round, he’s another great find.
