The 2022 NFL Draft (April 28-30) has a handful of promising running back prospects and in fantasy, you never know who could emerge late in the season. We may see another draft with no running backs selected in the first round. That said, this usually means we’ll see some gems talent on Days 2 and 3.

The NFL Combine (March 1-7) will help us get a closer look at all the prospects, but most of what we need to know has already been played out on the field and put on tape.
