Below is a look at all the tandems in the NFL where teams are expected to share carries among at least two running backs. There are seven teams where we don't see a tandem at all -- Cincinnati (Benson), Houston (Slaton), Jacksonville (Jones-Drew), Green Bay (Grant), Chicago (Forte), Detroit (Smith) and St. Louis (Jackson) -- but when it comes to tandems and running back by committee, we have you covered. The draft values are based on a standard-scoring 12-team league and the numbers listed reflect the percentage of touches in that partuicular situation.
