@fantasypros: Running backs are back. Over the past couple of seasons, we’ve seen a real renaissance at the position. They’ve stayed healthier than usual, and the top backs are outproducing the elite wide receivers for fantasy football. That said, one of the most popular roster-building approaches in fantasy drafts is Hero RB, also referred to as Anchor RB. So what is that exactly? Implementing a Hero RB or Anchor RB draft strategy means selecting one of the elite backs early — typically in round one or round two — and then hammering wide receivers, while also spending up at the onesie positions (quarterback and tight end). The allure of this approach lets you lock in a true difference-maker at running back, while still allowing you to load up on premium talent at the other positions. After you’ve built a well-balanced core, you can focus on filling your RB2 slot and adding depth later in the draft.
