Running Back (5): Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin, Jalen Richard, Chris Warren III, Keith Smith

The biggest star when it comes to the running back position for the Raiders this summer has been Chris Warren III, who has gone from undrafted rookie free agent, to a lock for the 53-man roster. He will join Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin, and Jalen Richard at the position, which Keith Smith being the fullback.

For Lynch, he has had a light workload during the preseason, as has his backup, Martin. Richard has shown he can get it done in the run, and pass game, and has moved past DeAndre Washington, who he came into camp battle for that No. 3 running back spot.

However, it has been Warren who has taken the football landscape by storm, and with his size and speed, he is going to be a solid contributor for the Raiders this season. This is the best group they have had in some time, and Smith is as good a blocking fullback as their is in football.
