              Podcast: Rookie RB Preview 4-9-20

              Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift and J.K. Dobbins look like early picks in the NFL Draft. Will we find fantasy upside beyond that trio?

              Is this a strong RB class or merely a top-heavy group? It's easy to love Jonathan Taylor (unless you're trying too hard to not). D'Andre Swift and J.K. Dobbins should be easy picks in dynasty rookie drafts as well. But is Clyde Edwards-Helaire a shoo-in for fantasy production? Is Cam Akers about to be better off in the pros than he was in college? And who are the upside guys beyond that group? Let's dig in.
