The 2017 Running Back class is not as top heavy as year’s past but still boast plenty of depth for fantasy football owners. Memorabilia collectors love to prospect these back and buy at a great introductory price. Top prospects out of this crop would be LSU star, Leonard Fournette, Heisman Finalist, Christian McCaffrey and despite off-the-field issues, Oklahoma’s Joe Mixon is expected to be a force in the National Football League with the Bengals. The usual suspects can be found near the top of the list: Bell, Johnson and Shady McCoy.
