Running back week rolls on! Ian is joined by Establish The Run's John Daigle to answer the 10 questions that will decide your RB board in 2026 fantasy football drafts — Gibbs or Bijan at 1.01, whether CMC and Jonathan Taylor are worth round-1 picks after 350+ touch seasons, how to attack the "Great Wall" of RBs from picks 11-18, the round-3 crossroads, the red-flag range in rounds 4-5, cheap backfields worth a chip, late-round handcuffs, and the draft strategy John is riding this season. Subscribe for fantasy football draft prep all summer — wide receivers are up next week.
