Podcast7 NFL Running Back Battles That Will Shape 2026 Fantasy Football Drafts (Ep. 21...July 27, 2026

From the episode

I can't say that I would see league winning upside from Chris Rodriguez, safe upside, like safe, cool. We could get a nice flex option. But at that point, I see a lot of guys where I'm like, okay, I could see this as a three down back happening there and giving me an ample amount of fantasy points on a weekly basis. So I'd rather go that direction.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Rodriguez lacks league-winning upside; source prefers three-down backs elsewhere.

The source distinguishes Rodriguez as offering only safe upside and a potential flex option, lacking the league-winning upside that makes a running back worth targeting in draft strategy; prefers to allocate draft capital to backs with three-down potential and higher weekly fantasy point floors.
