Running backs frequently make or break fantasy seasons. Drafting one bargain improves playoff odds. Drafting two improves title odds. Here are three of the biggest RB fantasy bargains in the NFC East based on average draft position (ADP).
In 2025, Jaydon Blue was the Kaleb Johnson of the NFC: a hyped rookie who fell flat and watched a backfield teammate post career-high numbers. One thing to consider is that Blue was only 21 last season.
While he’s unlikely to have a highly productive career based on historical college usage trends, he can push past Malik Davis and Phil Mafah to serve as Javonte Williams’ handcuff. That alone makes him more valuable than his RB63 ADP. The rest hinges on whether Williams can once again thrive after netting nearly 300 touches.
Tyrone Tracy’s RB42 ADP seems too low. I get how excited managers are about Cam Skattebo. But he’s also returning from a brutal injury, and I doubt the Giants will treat him like a bell cow. Tracy has played quite well as both a spot starter and a 1B running back. 150+ touches should be expected for Tracy, keeping him comfortably inside the top 35.
Finally, who’s ready to invest in Tank Bigsby (RB52 ADP)? Operating behind 29-year-old Saquon Barkley, Bigsby excelled in ways Barkley didn’t. That doesn’t mean the latter is finished; not at all. But Bigsby is too good to remain on the sidelines. Expect 125+ touches and at least three scores, putting him in the top 40.
