I have been listening to your show and others and don't hear a lot about RB's and running styles that affect injuries. For example I had Blount on my team in the offseason in a keeper league and traded him for a draft pick because I saw how he ran and realized he didn't evade tacklers or go around them he went through them and broke tackles with his power running style. I concluded that this would lead to injuries and traded him. Sure enough he was injured and missed games last year. Thoughts?

I agree with your philosophy. A lot of runners have styles that elude to more injuries.

Guys like The gronk and graham worry me as well because they don't go down with the first tackle and arm tackling them is difficult so teams hit them multiple times instead trying to knock them off balance and I believe that will lead to injuries as well. Teams are adding larger safeties to combat these mismatches as well.
