One of the more common — and proven — strategies in fantasy football is to stash as many high-upside backup running backs as you can late in the season. Your own backups, and those of your opponents. That way, if either you or your leaguemates suffer an injury to their starting RBs, you're prepared.

Such now is the case of fantasy managers in Week 18 title games who have stashed Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason. Christian McCaffrey has already been ruled out.
