A position more volatile than ever; there are names that were considered amongst the elite just a couple of years ago that are completely disregarded today. Being a great RB is now just as much about being a great receiver as pure rusher. But who do you have at #1 as of now?

McCaffrey was my immediate inclination when I saw his name, but then I saw Chubb and Barkley and it’s so close that I went with who I think has the best balance and shed tacklers easiest. Chubb is the biggest and seems like he has the smallest ego of the three as well.

Saquon

The yards before contact vs yards after contact tell the gristly story of this one.

Also he's of equal efficiency at a lesser volume than McCaffrey in the passing game. If the Giants wanted to, they could throw a bunch of 4 yard flare screens, they just don't to that extent.

Are you suggesting that Saquon is as good as McCaffrey in the passing game? It will be interesting to see how McCaffrey does with a more accurate QB this year, he will likely be able to expand that route tree a bit more.
