You have a starter, and a change of pace/backup guy. Then the #3 RB is a ST guy (Peerman type). The hell does a 4th RB do for your team? About as useless as a defense-first 3rd Catcher on an MLB roster.
If you are going to carry 4 RB, might as well make the 4th one a (TRUE) FB instead. You'll get more use out of them and 3rd & 1s/4th & 1s should be a cinch then... unless you decide on some brilliance like your QB do a shotgun snap delayed run on 4th and 1.
Most teams carry a 4th RB for developmental reasons/ bell cow type back to get in case starter goes down with injury.
