Backup running backs in the NFL are more important aspects of an offense than what a lot of what the public may believe. We are sometimes so wrapped up in the individual greatness of a Le'Veon Bell http://www.packersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-darnell-savage-jr.-jersey , a David Johnson or a Marshawn Lynch, that we forget the backup running backs that play such vital roles to continuing that team's success on the ground.For example, the New England Patriots last season ran the ball extraordinarily well with LeGarrette Blount, and he was the clear-cut starting running back. However, come Super Bowl LI, the Patriots realized they could get more production out of a player like James White, who was both solid on the ground and a mismatch in the passing game. James White ended up winning MVP of the Super Bowl, and his impact showed the value of having a running back behind your starter who can get the job done.There's simply so much physicality and different scenarios for different running backs in the NFL, that in some seasons, back up running backs can outplay their starters. Injuries are the most obvious sign that a back up running back will outplay their starter, but sometimes the back up can get hot during the season and the team decides to ride that hot streak out(the Redskins in 2016...).Perhaps the biggest reason any of us actually value backup running backs is that they can save our butts from week-to-week in fantasy football.....but I wouldn't know anything about that. Today Elgton Jenkins Jersey , TheSportster brings you 15 Backup NFL Running Backs Who Will Outplay Their Starter. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Joe Flacco has gone from Denver Broncos tormentor to savior.The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to trade the veteran quarterback to the Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press.The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because neither team announced the deal, which was first reported by ESPN. NFL rules prohibit teams from discussing trades until the start of the league year on March 13.Flacco, the MVP of the 2013 Super Bowl following a miraculous win at top-seeded Denver, became expendable in Baltimore with the emergence of rookie Lamar Jackson, the former Louisville star who led the Ravens into the playoffs after Flacco got hurt.The Broncos again needed an upgrade at QB after Case Keenum’s middling debut in Denver, where a 6-10 finish led general manager John Elway to turn to Vic Fangio , his fourth head coach in six seasons.Now, he’s landed his seventh quarterback since Peyton Manning’s tearful retirement following Denver’s win in Super Bowl 50.The others all bombed: draft picks Brock Osweiler, Trevor Siemian http://www.packersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jace-sternberger-jersey , Paxton Lynch and Chad Kelly, trade acquisition Mark Sanchez and Keenum, who threw for 18 TDs and a career-high 15 interceptions last season to go with a career-high 34 sacks.Flacco has three years and $63 million left on his contract with a salary of $18.5 million next season, which is 10th-highest in the NFL at his position. His cap hit of that same amount is 21st among quarterbacks in the league.The Broncos could trade Keenum and save $18 million next season. Releasing him would produce $11 million in savings but cost them $7 million. Keenum signed a two-year, $36 million deal in Denver last season with $25 million guaranteed.Either way, Elway’s deal for Flacco continues his build-but-don’t-rebuild ethos. The Broncos have a solid core of young stars and a still superior defense led by Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr. that Elway believes can keep up with the Chargers and Chiefs in the AFC West with the right quarterback leading the way.They wanted a proven veteran such as Flacco or Nick Foles, another Super Bowl MVP.At 34, Flacco is four years older than Foles but he’s been durable, starting all 16 games in nine of his 11 NFL seasons. The other years he started nine and 10 games. Foles has started more than eight games just twice in his seven NFL seasons.Fangio also knows Flacco well, having served on Baltimore’s coaching staff during the quarterback’s first two seasons there.Facilitating the deal for Flacco was the extra fourth-round pick Elway had at his disposal from the Demaryius Thomas trade to Houston last fall.In Flacco, the Broncos are turning to a quarterback who broke their hearts six years ago.Denver was the top seed after going 13-3 in Manning’s first season in Denver and the Broncos took an 11-game winning streak into their divisional round playoff game against Baltimore.In the waning seconds of regulation Dexter Williams Jersey , Flacco connected with Jacoby Jones on a 70-yard touchdown pass to force overtime in a game the Ravens won 38-35 in double overtime. Safety Rahim Moore went for the interception instead of the tackle and mistimed his leap, allowing Jones to catch the ball at the 20-yard line and trot into the end zone with the tying touchdown.Flacco, who turned 34 last month, has played all 11 of his seasons with the Ravens after being selected 18th overall in the 2008 NFL draft. He started immediately as a rookie and was Super Bowl MVP after the 2012 season, guiding the Ravens to a victory over San Francisco in the championship game during a playoff run that included that “Mile High Miracle” in Denver.Flacco was the starter last season until he injured his right hip in a loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. The Ravens had a bye the following week, and Jackson took over for the still-ailing Flacco on Nov. 18 against Cincinnati. Jackson produced wins over the Bengals, Raiders and Falcons before a 27-24 loss to Kansas City on Dec. 9.Flacco was healthy enough to return the following week, but coach John Harbaugh said Jackson would be his starter in a matchup against Tampa Bay. Jackson retained the job, going 6-1 to get the Ravens into the postseason before coming up short in a first-round loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.The Ravens went 106-72 with Flacco as a starter, including the postseason. He is the team career leader in attempts (5,670) Max Scharping Jersey , completions (3,499), yards (38,245) and touchdowns (212). His 10 playoff victories since 2008 rank second behind Tom Brady among active quarterbacks.Flacco and Harbaugh arrived in Baltimore together in 2008. They proceeded to reach the playoffs in each of the next five years. Flacco was the first starting quarterback since the 1970 merger to win a playoff game in each of his first five years. Russell Wilson duplicated the feat from 2012-16.During Baltimore’s 2012 run to the Super Bowl, he threw 11 touchdown passes without an interception, his most notable being the 70-yarder to Jones in the double OT win.The Broncos eventually recovered from that devastating defeat to win a Super Bowl in Manning’s final game. But they’ve gone just 20-28 since then while churning through quarterbacks, coaches and offensive coordinators.The Broncos lost their final four games last season to finish 6-10, marking their first back-to-back losing seasons since the Nixon Administration.
