​Running backs can make or break a fantasy season, and making smart bargains at the position can lift your playoff chances or even push you toward a title. A single well-timed bargain can improve your odds in the postseason, while snagging two can significantly raise your chances of winning it all. Here are three of the most compelling NFC East RB fantasy bargains based on average draft position (ADP).
In 2025, Jaydon Blue resembled Kaleb Johnson in the NFC: a buzzworthy rookie who didn’t quite deliver, while a backfield teammate posted career-high numbers. It’s worth noting Blue was only 21 last season. Although his long-term projection isn’t ideal given how historical college usage tends to unfold, Blue could still surpass Malik Davis and Phil Mafah to emerge as Javonte Williams’ handcuff. That alone would incline his value above his RB63 ADP. The bigger question is whether Williams can again approach a heavy workload after nearing 300 touches last season. If Williams returns to form, Blue’s upside as a handcuff could be a key late-round stabilizer for fantasy rosters.
Tyrone Tracy’s RB42 ADP feels a touch optimistic for those who are excited about Cam Skattebo. Skattebo is coming off a severe injury, and it’s unlikely the Giants will lean on him as a bell cow. Tracy, on the other hand, has proven himself as a capable producer in both a spot role and as a secondary contributor. Expect 150-plus touches for Tracy, a workload that should keep him well within the top 35 at his position. That level of involvement translates to reliable value in the middle rounds.
Finally, consider Tank Bigsby, currently sitting with an RB52 ADP. He’ll be operating behind 29-year-old Saquon Barkley, but he already demonstrated value that Barkley didn’t during his own extended stretch of action. This isn’t a suggestion that Barkley is finished; far from it. Yet Bigsby appears too skilled to stay buried on the sideline. Anticipate 125-plus touches and at least three rushing scores, which would place him firmly in the top 40 at his position and make him a strong bargain pick in the mid-rounds.
