Stuffin’ ‘n’ Cuffin’ Handcuff Rankings

We’ve compiled a list of handcuffing priorities. We’re only including running backs we believe to be worthwhile handcuffs, and the list is limited to players rostered in fewer tha 50% of Yahoo leagues. Here are our top 10 handcuffs:

1. Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – SF): Christian McCaffrey has held up all season, but if he were to go down, Brian Robinson Jr. would inherit an enormous workload in Kyle Shanahan’s running back-friendly offense.

2. Blake Corum (RB – LAR): Sean McVay’s offense is every bit as running back-friendly as Kyle Shanahan’s. Blake Corum is a must-have for Kyren Williams investors.

3. Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL): Technically, Tyler Allgeier might not even qualify as a handcuff because he offers some stand-alone value. But he’s available in more than half of Yahoo leagues, and every Bijan Robinson stakeholder should secure Allgeier.

4. Tank Bigsby (RB – PHI): If Saquon Barkley were to miss time, Tank Bigsby might share work with Will Shipley, but Bigsby would be the primary early-down back. It took Bigsby a while to get traction in Philadelphia after the trade that sent him from the Jaguars to the Eagles, but Bigsby has looked good whenever he’s gotten work.

5. Ollie Gordon (RB – MIA): The Miami offense would probably be a mess if anything happened to De’Von Achane, but the hard-charging Ollie Gordon would get the bulk of the work in Achane’s absence. Gordon has proven to be an effective goal-line back.

6. Isaiah Davis (RB – NYJ): Isaiah Davis is the undisputed backup to Breece Hall at the moment. Just realize there’s a chance that Braelon Allen, who’s been out for eight weeks with an MCL injury, could return before the end of the regular season.

7. Samaje Perine (RB – CIN): Due back from an ankle injury soon, Samaje Perine will return to his role as Chase Brown‘s backup.

8. Devin Neal (RB – NO): With Kendre Miller out for the season, Devin Neal is the clear handcuff to Alvin Kamara, although the New Orleans backfield isn’t exactly a wellspring of fantasy value, and tight end/jack-of-all-trades Taysom Hill is a factor in the Saints’ running game, too. A rookie from Kansas, Neal was highly unproductive in college but is still an unproven commodity at the pro level.

9. Keaton Mitchell (RB – BAL): If Derrick Henry were to miss time, Justice Hill‘s role as Baltimore’s pass-catching back likely would remain largely unchanged, and Keaton Mitchell would become the Ravens’ primary early-down back.

10. Ray Davis (RB – BUF): This is similar to the Baltimore situation. Ty Johnson is the Bills’ passing-down back, and Ray Davis would probably inherit the brunt of the early-down work if James Cook were to go down.
