<p>Host Ian Hartitz goes through the pecking order in every NFL backfield to determine which No. 2 running backs might provide the best handcuff value in the event the team's starter misses time in 2021. The first tier consists of the big-four handcuffs that most are familiar with before Ian moves on to the tier two group, which includes running backs part of a committee with room to truly flourish if disaster stikes. The third tier includes notes on the Rams, Steelers, Dolphins and more: backfields where Ian could see the backup getting a featured role, but it's not guaranteed. The podcast concludes with a look at which running back situations are either too unclear, or consist of one-dimensional talents, for fantasy investors to worry about.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Tier 1 handcuffs (1:12)</p> <p>Tier 2 handcuffs (3:44)</p> <p>Tier 3 handcuffs (8:10)</p> <p>Tier 4 handcuffs (15:55)</p> <p>Tier 5 handcuffs (19:19)</p> <p>Tier 6 handcuffs (21:48)</p>
