With the popularity of PPR leagues on the rise, more and more fantasy managers will be opting for elite wide receivers early and waiting until the later rounds to draft their running backs. If you’re going the zero running back route, or if you’re just looking for depth, these late-round runners have the potential to deliver big weeks.

2023 Fantasy Football Draft Kit

Here are five late-round players to target at the running back position. These players are currently being taken in the ninth round or later in fantasy drafts, and the value is there.

In what will be considered one of the biggest events in women’s international soccer history, superpower Germany has been eliminated at the group stage of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Germany, a two-time Women’s World Cup winner and eight-time European champion, failed to advance to the knockouts for the first time at a major tournament after a dramatic final day in group play that featured a 1–1 draw with South Korea combined with Morocco’s 1–0 win over Colombia.

The tale of NFL running backs being a source of drama for many of the wrong reasons spans much of the league and includes some of the most accomplished names at the position.
Saquon Barkley at the start of training camp ended a months-long contract stalemate with the Giants that both sides will have to address again next year because he merely signed a one-year contract. Jonathan Taylor has reportedly asked to be traded from the Indianapolis Colts after the club declined to give him what he believes is a fair contract extension.

Robinson was an NBA player. Diaz is one of the most skilled UFC fighters of all time.
It’s been a wild ride for Paul, once a Disney and YouTube star.

“You kind of don’t have time to process all of it, but then, at the same time, you try to. But it’s all moving so fast, and I’m in the thick of it. So it’s kind of surreal in, like, I haven’t yet grasped all of it.

Bill Belichick strode through the sponsored, inflatable tunnel entrance to the Patriots’ practice earlier this week toward a podium at the bottom of a small grassy hill. It was a distance of, roughly, 15 yards.
Wearing a sliced-up, fire-engine-red Patriots sweatshirt and jogging shorts, he talked for a few minutes beginning at 9:27 a.m., before starting a journey that brought him to the goalpost of one nearby field, then to the end zone, then across a practice field behind a phalanx of Gatorade coolers, a twirling whistle in his hand.

You know you are going to watch, so here are nine reasons to stay glued to the television on Thursday night
Football is back Thursday night.
Well, kind of.
The annual Hall of Fame Game kicks off Thursday night from Canton, with the New York Jets taking on the Cleveland Browns. However, do not expect to see names like Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, and Myles Garrett. Thursday night will be filled with players fighting for roles, fighting for playing time, and even in some cases fighting for a job.

Rory McIlroy has now gone nine-straight seasons without winning a major championship. The 34-year-old’s major drought has been one of golf’s biggest storylines for close to a decade now, but Brad Faxon doesn’t exactly think that should be the case.
McIlroy’s loudest critics, especially over the past couple of years, have harped about his inconsistency with the putter. That particularly rubs Faxon the wrong way seeing as how he is McIlroy’s putting coach.

He was the NFL’s leading rusher two season ago and wanted an extension with the Colts, but now he wants out. How things got so bad for Taylor and Indianapolis.

Florida State might want out of the ACC, but the SEC doesn’t sound eager to welcome the Seminoles with open arms.
FSU made it clear during a surreal board of trustees meeting Wednesday that the program has every intention of leaving the ACC for more money elsewhere.
Florida State trustee Drew Weatherford indicated that it wasn’t a matter of *if* the Seminoles will leave the ACC. It’s only a matter of when.
