Sizing Up the Running Backs
David Dorey
June 29, 2009
     

Other Positions: Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

In all positions, size does matter to at least some degree. Obviously talent is critical but without the size to play in the NFL - does it really matter how fast a player is or how well he can pass the ball? The intent of these positional reviews is to arm yourself with the conventional wisdom about fantasy positions and typically what is successful. There are always exceptions to every rule, but it is nice to know the rule in the first place. There is a surprising amount of consistency in the measureables of star players.
