Best Backup Running Backs For Your '09-'10 Fantasy Team

 
In a continuation of my best backups series, I bring you the top three backup RB’s this year. As I keep saying, anyone can name you the AP’s, LT’s, and generally anyone else in the league that goes by their initials of the league-but what about on their off weeks? What about if one of them goes down to injury, or just is facing a tough team the upcoming week? Who are the top guys you can bring in to provide some offense and spark your team to victory this week? Continue reading, you’ll find out. Originally my plan was to go with guys outside the top 25, but then I thought about it and you should really play three rb’s at all times, if there’s a WR/RB spot like there is in default ESPN leagues. So, really the backups must come from outside the top 40, or at least around 35th ranked. My rankings, as always are based off ESPN Fantasy projections which can be found at the ESPN fantasy football home page. (link)
