Of course, RB handcuffs are subject to change on a moment’s notice, which is why we’ll be updating this list all season long. It’s important to note that many teams don’t have a true “starter” and “handcuff”, instead going with a committee approach. Also, there are players whose roles might be unchanged even when a starter gets hurt (Duke Johnson Jr., Theo Riddick, Bilal Powell, Darren Sproles, Chris Thompson), but we put them on the list because we simply don’t know enough about their respective team’s depth charts yet.
