It’s go-time, Razzball fam. Win or go home. We suffer all season to deal with the stress of the playoffs. Please do not fret, I’ve got you covered. We will look at RBs that can slide into your RB2 or flex position depending on the attrition of your roster. I wrote about WRs last week, so go check it out “Must Start WRs for the Playoffs.”

- Player: Rachaad White
- Games: at LA Chargers (27th), at Dallas (4th), vs. Panthers (1st)
This pick is purely based on the health of Bucky Irving. Back injuries are quite tricky and can flare up at a moment’s notice. White had his best rushing day on the season in Week 14 with 90 yards and a rushing TD on 17 carries. I think he’ll flirt with 20 touches due to his pass-catching prowess with or without Irving at this point in the season. His upcoming schedule is favorable as the sixth best for RBs, so don’t overthink it. White can be trusted.
- Player: Tank Bigsby
- Games: vs. Jets (22nd), at Las Vegas (15th), vs. Titans (17th)
The Jaguars have nothing to play for and I think they want to see if Bigsby can handle a bigger workload. I think we’re starting to see that as Bigsby saw a higher snap share (52% to 48%) and more touches (19 to 8) in Week 14. I foresee him as the primary rusher with Travis Etienne as the change of pace back. I like the Jaguars’ upcoming schedule and you should too. Bigsby is probably available in your league, so I recommend taking a chance on him.
- Player: Sincere McCormick
- Games: vs. Falcons (26th), vs. Jaguars (2nd), at New Orleans (6th)
Bob said on it Sunday, McCormick is this year’s Zamir White. McCormick is averaging 5.7 yards per carry and his usage continues to increase week over week since Week 12. He’s by far the most talented RB on the roster for the Raiders and the opportunity is his to seize. I know the QB situation is murky, but volume and health pay the bills in the fantasy postseason. He has a juicy upcoming schedule against the Falcons, Jaguars, and Saints.
- Player: Jaylen Warren
- Games: at Philadelphia (29th), at Baltimore (25th), vs. Kansas City (32nd)
Warren FINALLY appears to be healthy and like the explosive back, we were expecting. He’s hovering around eight to nine points per game since Week 10 providing a steady floor. The Steelers should look to increase his touches while George Pickens rehabs his hammy. Warren is back to a near 50/50 split with Najee Harris over his last four games. While his upcoming schedule looks bleak, the Eagles and Ravens are susceptible to passing-catching RBs. Warren is getting 4.5 average targets per game and wouldn’t be surprised to see this increase, thus enhancing his fantasy potential in the postseason.
