The quarterback position is the most important in the world of professional football and these stats will help you select the right players in fantasy football.
Running backs have lost some appeal in the world of fantasy football, as the emergence of the passing game has made wide receiver the position of choice in drafts. With that said, runners who can catch the ball out of the backfield or play in offenses that target backs as receivers have added appeal, especially in leagues that reward points for catches.
To find which runners can help fantasy managers most as receivers, here are the quarterbacks and offenses that targeted the position the most ... and the least ... in 2024.Running Backs – Most TargetsWilson is no longer in Denver, so this could indicate either Bo Nix or Zach Wilson will throw to his runners in 2024. What’s interesting about the stat is Wilson’s new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, liked to throw to his backs last season.
To project what his stats might look like under new offensive coordinator Greg Roman, I looked at what his quarterbacks did in his previous 10 years in that role. Just once did his quarterback throw to his backs more than 20% of the time, and Lamar Jackson was constantly near the bottom of the league in this department when Roman was the OC in Baltimore. That doesn’t bode well for the Chargers re-vamped backfield, though Gus Edwards isn’t much of a pass catcher.
