Fantasy Football Brothers continues to put their readers in the best position to win. We answer every fantasy question you ask. We continue our FREE DRAFT KIT roll out with RB tiers. Having positions in tiers is a very useful drafting tool. This allows owners to put the running back position into some perspective.  Tiering a position assigns a group of players a draft value which can be very handy. This is a great guide for recognizing undervalued players. Using a tiering system can also compose a rattled owner that could start to panic if a position run happens, the tier system gives a player’s overall value some perspective.  The simple sheet basically preaches patience so that you don’t reach for overvalued players. This is the list that can make an owner look like a genius: An owner becomes a genius when not reaching on a player they targeted but actually grabbed that same player a round later making him a steal.

The First Tier

The cream of the crop ,these four guys rise to the top, barring injury they finish the season statistically all grouped together.
