Admittedly, it's hard to cling to "RBs are disposable." To the naive fans, they are names who get called all the time, they score TDs, they fumble, they are on the stats leaderboards, etc. They are often right there in the tier behind QB as the face of the franchise, even when they are merely replacement level.
Add in the value of the RB position in fantasy football, not to be trifled with, and that's another mark making it tough to ignore the position. You can have all the math on your side, but when that 5th round rookie fumbles at the goal line and you miss the playoffs, it's way more obvious than, say, your 5th round rookie safety biting on a play fake and giving up a 35 yard play in crunch time.
