Below is a list of all the would be starting RB's for teams right now as to who is on the roster. Of course some of these guys are not healthy right now but would be starting if they were. Next to the players name is what round of the NFL draft they were taken. Although we like to think of the position as plug and play and that you don't need to invest in guys you will notice that the majority of players are ones that were high picks.
Fantasy football has somewhat skewed our ideology that you can find guys off the street who can produce, but that really is not the case.
