Fantasy owners know these names all too well. They are not the guys toting the rock 20-plus times a game. Nor do they regularly churn up 100-plus yards of offense (Bettis did more so early in his career; Alstott certainly had his share of big games here and there as well).
Nope. These are the players stealing touchdowns from your fantasy running backs.
While your guy may do all the work to get his team into the red zone, nothing eats at a fantasy owner more than his guy not getting in for six.
Even worse, he did not even get a chance after his team moved inside the 20.
With more and more NFL teams moving to a running-back-by-committee approach, there are more touchdown vultures than ever.
