At this time of the season, many fantasy football owners are participating in bestball drafts. Those are teams you can draft and forget about, and they automatically optimize your lineup every week. Whichever players score the most points get automatically inserted into your lineup.
Because of that, you want to target players with a high weekly upside, even if they aren't quite as consistent as you'd like in normal season-long leagues. These are the top running backs to target in bestball leagues.
TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots
We have our reservations about drafting Henderson as an RB2 this season because of his potential lack of consistency. It doesn't look like Rhamondre Stevenson is going anywhere. However, that is significantly less concerning in bestball leagues.
Henderson is going to have those big week-winning performances, and in bestball you don't have to worry about predicting them. If Stevenson were to go down with an injury, the sky is the limit for Henderson. We love him in this format.
