The fantasy football season is almost here and one of the most important positions in the league is at running back and this season there are a number of players that should go with a first round pick, including Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Jamaal Charles, CJ Spiller and LeSean McCoy as well as Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch.
The position usually gives the team its strength for fantasy owners and last year Peterson was absolutely fantastic, making him the top pick this season after he rushed for over 2,000 yards on the ground for the Vikings. Arian Foster has been dealing with some injury issues in the preseason and after coming off the PUP list fantasy owners are hoping that he can continue his excellent production over the past three seasons. Doug Martin and Jamaal Charles did some damage last season catching balls out of the backfield and CJ Spiller should end up being another solid pick after breaking out last year.
Trent Richardson and Marshawn Lynch should also be considered top picks, while Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy should have big seasons as well. McCoy has the chance to do something special in the new offense from Chip Kelly and he could end up being the biggest producer of the bunch.
