With the average age of NFL running back now just 25.1 years, it makes it a bit risky for fantasy owners to look at runners who are approaching that dreaded age of 30 that usually signifies the end is in near. This year there are several running backs that are 29 or older that raise concern. FFToolBox.com provided a great list of 24 such runners:
