The Mike Shanahan
This strategy involves hording a stable of quality running backs, leaving you vulnerable to an average quarterback and receivers who suffer freak injuries. It also means drafting three running backs at the top of the board, regardless of who is left. Running backs have long been in short supply so it's important to grab as many as you can as early as you can for depth and potential bait for trades.
The bottom line: The rise of backfield committees means there are not 32 full-time starting running backs in the NFL. In fact, you're lucky if you get half of that number. That means you're really stretching to take that No. 3 back, when you could probably get equal value a few rounds later. This strategy was popular a few years ago, before Shanahan himself nearly ruined fantasy football by using a running back by committee.
