It wasn't even a month ago when Jordan Howard and Matt Breida were forming a sneaky fun backfield in Miami, Cam Akers was poised to take ownership of the Rams' backfield, and Saquon Barkley was challenging Christian McCaffrey for alpha status in the fantasy football world. Now, Myles Gaskin is in control of Miami's backfield, Darrell Henderson looks like a breakout star, and Devonta Freeman and Dion Lewis have replaced the injured Barkley. Nando Di Fino and Emory Hunt dive into all the backfield changes across the league on this episode of The Athletic Fantasy Football Podcast.
