Most players utilize a run-first offense early in the season while they are still looking to build confidence in their passing game. This year, both power backs and elusive backs can be effective with the right play calls. Consider grabbing a backup who is a solid receiver for third downs. However, if you get one of these elite backs, you should let him carry the load for the offense.
