Top 40 Running Back Rankings & Tiers - 2026 Fantasy Football

The 2026 fantasy football season is finally here. It is so good to say that. I'm going to be live streaming every day. I'm going to be drafting real money fantasy teams every single day in those live streams. I'm sure a lot of y'all are going to get in with me, but I wanted to make sure that you have a good set of rankings to be going off of because obviously a ton of things just changed with the NFL draft.

One thing that didn't really change is going to be the S tier of running backs. Jamir Gibbs and Bejian Robinson, in my opinion, are undoubtedly the 101 and 102 in fantasy football drafts this season. You can go either way with this. If somebody wanted to have Bejian Robinson ahead of Gibbs, I'm not going to argue with them. I believe that's the way it currently is set up on underdog ADP. For me, I think we're just going to keep it stupid simple that the Detroit Lions project to be one of the better teams in the NFL this year and an above average offense as they've been for the past four seasons. And with Bejian Robinson, he may have Tua as his quarterback. But you can't go wrong either way.

Again, if we are looking at what they have done so far in their NFL careers, both running backs have played at least 15 games every single season. From a points per game perspective, you can actually see Jir Gibbs over the past three years has been a top 10 running back in points per game every year. And over the past two seasons, he's finished with 21 and a half fantasy points per game, which is good for a top three finish. Going over and looking at Bejon Robinson, this is a running back that's actually played all 17 games every single season of his career, and he's had back-to-back years with at least 20 fantasy points per game.

Their back field mates do change. You have David McGomery turning into Isaiah Pacheco in Detroit and you have Tyler Algier turning into Brian Robinson in Atlanta. And honestly, I think Alier is a better running back than Brian Robinson and I think McGomery is a better running back than Isaiah Pacheco. So these guys could be even better this next year. And yeah, if I have the 101, if I have the 102, I'm going to be over the moon to take these running backs because neither of them have a single red flag.

Now moving over to A tier. This is where we are going to have some red flags. If you're using my rankings on flockfantasy.com for your underdog drafts right now, one in your underdog drafts, if you have our draft extension, you can just see my rankings next to it as you draft. But you'll notice I have a bunch of wide receivers between Gibbs, Bejon, and this group of running backs. I have all the top guys like JS, Jamar Chase, Puka Nukua, even Aman Ross St. Brown, CD Lamb, and Justin Jefferson because I can point to red flags for every one of these backs, including Jonathan Taylor, who looked like he was just the straightup league winner in weeks 1 through 10 being the number one running back in fantasy and it not even being remotely close. But then if you compare that to his weeks 12 through 18, you will have noticed, oh, once Daniel Jones tore his Achilles, Jonathan Taylor fell down to being a low-end RB2. And looking at the Indianapolis Colts this next season, they are probably going to see some offensive regression no matter what. But you have Daniel Jones coming off the torn starting slow. So I'm worried about the overall offensive context. Andy's 27 years old. He's not 24 like Bejan and Gibbs.

And going over to McAffrey, McAffrey was pretty inefficient last year if we are just looking at what he managed to do from a yards per attempt perspective. like this was his first season in his NFL career averaging fewer than four yards per attempt since his rookie season. It ultimately didn't matter in fantasy though where he did have seven and a half targets per game. He had 54 receiving yards per game. My hesitation is um with McAffrey we have a long track record of running backs getting worse in their age 30 season. You can use this on flockfantasy.com. When you pull up these player cards, you'll see the range of outcomes tool for McAffrey. And you can see that he had a similar age 29 season to Hall of Fame level running backs. Somebody like LT, somebody like Derrick Henry, then other names like Jamal Charles, David Johnson, Lehan McCoy, Alvin Kamar, James Connor, Steven Jackson, Matt Forte. A lot of these running backs were incredible. And every single one of them got significantly worse from age 29 to 30 minus one name. That name is Derk Henry. Of course, we're going to be repping his jersey for this video because y'all know I have always loved Derrick Henry and I will always love the man. Um, but I think you have to be concerned with the age for McAffrey. Also, with the wide receiver additions that they made this off seasonason, there's a chance that his target share does come down. It did appear that he lost a little bit of explosiveness last season. If I was drafting in a full PPR format, I would actually prefer you to go ahead and take McAffrey over Jonathan Taylor, but specifically for the majority of us who are going to be drafting on underdog over the next four months. Um, here it's a little bit of a different setup where it's a half PPR league, so those receptions aren't going to matter as much.

Now, moving over to Ashton Genty. Ashton Genty has his own red flag, and that's um he's playing for the Las Vegas Raiders, a team with the garbage offensive line. Now, definitely they made improvements in that category this off seasonason, which is one of the many reasons why I think that Ash and Genty can take a massive step forward, but they improved the offensive line. They improved the quarterback play and they improved the coaching staff. So, you would assume that across the board, Genty should expect to get better, but we do at least have to address that last season, he was the running back 16 in points per game. Last season, this man had a total of three games with 20 or more fantasy points, and he had 1 2 3 4 5 6 seven games with less than 10. So, of all these running backs we're talking about, we are expecting Genty to take the largest step forward. But again, still, even if we think the Raiders are going to be a lot better this year than they were last year, this was the worst team in the NFL last season. There's a reason they just got the number one overall pick and there's a reason Ashton Genty was disappointing. But you can go back and look at Bejian Robinson's rookie year where he actually only averaged 14 and a half fantasy points per game himself.

Now moving over to James Cook. Um James Cook back-to-back finishes as a top 12 running back. We see Cook actually at the very top of the NFL this past season with 95 rushing yards per game. Significantly ahead of any other mark that we have seen in his NFL career. The one knock that I would have with James Cook in comparison to the other running backs inside of this tier, we don't have the same type of ceiling where Cook has at most seen 17 and a half fantasy points per game in his NFL career four years in. We're not necessarily expecting the running back to get better at 27. Not expecting a fall-off at 27 either, but I don't think he's going to be hitting some next level ceiling. So, you are going to have to take him in round one. And I would feel comfortable projecting him out to be a mid running back one in a great offense. I just don't think he has the same ceiling as a Jonathan Taylor, a McAffrey, a gent or at least we haven't seen it yet.

Um Devon Achan has demonstrated a significantly higher ceiling than what you've had with James Cook. And you may be wondering, Mason, why the hell are you ranking Achan down here at the bottom of the A tier when he's coming off three straight seasons, finishing as the running back six in points per game or higher. when he's only 24 years old. We can look at similar age 24 seasons since the year 2010 and see you had Jamal Charles, Leonard Fornette, Payton Hillis, Ryan Matthews, Darren McFaden, Ezekiel Elliott, Maurice Jones Drew, Adrien Peterson, and Dvin Cook. Dalvin Cook actually followed up that age 24 season, improving to 24 and a half points per game the following year and winning fantasy leagues. And I think if Achan didn't have a downgraded coaching staff, in my opinion, and Achan didn't have the projection to be in the worst offense in the league with a quarterback that's not going to check the ball down very often, he would be in the S tier. He would be alongside Bejon and Gibbs. My hesitation is Malik Willis going to be a quarterback that runs the ball. Right now, if you look at what sports books are telling us, they're saying, "Expect the Miami Dolphins to be a bottom three team in the NFL." So, if you're in a garbage offense, and we're not going to have an incredibly high checkown rate from that quarterback, that is a horrendous situation to be in. Now, I think Han is arguably a top three running back in the league when it comes to talent. He's in his prime. So very much he's still worth selecting at the end of round one of fantasy drafts, but he has a red flag like every other players inside of this A tier in my opinion.

Now going down to B tier, this is when I'm going to start to get a little hotticky. This is when you're probably going to disagree with me and you're going to rightfully go down to the comment section and go, "Mason, you're a clown just as you've always been. Nothing changed this off season." And I agree with you because I'm going to be ranking Amari and Hampton at eight. with Amarian Hampton. What did he show us last season? Uh almost diddly squat. Like he gets injured, then he comes back from his injury and he scores 14 and a half, 7 and 1/2, 16 and 1/2, and 20 fantasy points. Um, if we look at his usage alongside Kamani Vidal once he came back from his injury, it was very concerning until he played the Houston Texans in week 17, he didn't eclipse more than 60% of the snaps in any of those games because Kamani Vidal, a running back that's legitimately meaningless, was out there seeing work.

Now, for me, I look back at that situation with the Los Angeles Chargers. I see Amari and Hampton coming off a significant injury. The coaching staff decided to ride with the hot hand. They decided to go ahead and slowplay Amari and Hampton back into this offense. And this was an offense that had the worst offensive line in the league. And it wasn't even remotely close. You have two star tackles both going down with injuries just absolutely decimating the top end of this offensive line. And then when you have the everybody sliding up in responsibilities, it just turns into a complete and utter disaster. This offensive line is going to be dramatically improved this next season. And what I want to go back to is the usage we had from Aari and Hampton before he went down with his injury last year because he had played four full games. And in those four full games, he played 78%, 66%, then 80%, then 89% of the snaps, the last two games that he played behind the worst offensive line in the league, he played against the Denver Broncos, a very good defense, and he dropped 25 fantasy points. He played against the New York Giants where he dropped 27 and a half fantasy points. So, if we combine this with what we have seen with the prospect profile of a round one NFL draft pick, that had the size to be a workhorse, that had the receiving skill set in college, that had the athletic profile that we want to find, I'm all in. I think that this is an improved coaching staff. I know they bring in Katon Mitchell. I don't really care. Amari Hampton's going to be my most drafted round two running back just because I think I'm going to be higher than other people.

Now going over and looking at Jeremiah Love. Um I was expecting to have Jeremiah Love ranked ahead of Amarian Hampton. I don't love the landing spot with the Arizona Cardinals though. Obviously it's going to be a team that looks to run the ball a hell of a lot more this year than they did last season where last season they had Nathan Schmidt and Mason Dodd leading their backfield by the end of it. But this season they have Jeremiah Love, they had Tyler Algier and possibly James Connor in the room as well. So, my expectations are almost similar to what we saw with Bejian Robinson in his rookie year where Tyler Algier did still get work where Bejian Robinson in his rookie season averaged 12 and a half carries per game, averaged five targets per game and finished um with 14 and a half fantasy points per contest. It was completely fine. But that's my median outcome for Jeremiah Love where Tyler Algier still is getting involved in this offense. It's still a very bad offense overall, but Love gets top five NFL draft capital, which indicates that I don't know, the hit rate should be incredibly high for a player like this.

Now, moving over to Kenneth Walker, I've already watched a bunch of underdog drafts. Like, if y'all didn't know, um, we actually welcomed Davis Maddock to flock fantasy.com this off seasonason. Something that I'm incredibly excited about. I think that he is an incredibly sharp drafter and he's going to be helping us make those basketball tools on flockfantasy.com that much better for everybody using them. And he absolutely loves Kenneth Walker at the end of round one. For me, I think maybe he's a little bit of a biased Chiefs fan. I look at Kenneth Walker and see a running back that last season finished with 11.29 fantasy points per game. And maybe you're going to say, "Well, Mason, come on, man. Um, he's playing on the Kansas City Chiefs now. Don't you know the Chiefs are a phenomenal offense and oh yes they are. The Seattle Seahawks were the number one offense in the league last year with efficiency. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl. So while I can say the situation gets better from a you don't have Zack Sharp stealing goal line touchdowns from you perspective, from an offensive environment perspective, it doesn't get much better than what you had in Seattle last season. It's not like Kenneth Walker is a massive receiving back out of the backfield. It's not like we've historically seen the Kansas City Chiefs over the past six years put up many running back points in general. So for me, I think Kenneth Walker projects to be a better fantasy option in Kansas City because I'm not as concerned about those goal line touches getting vultured. But I'm ranking Amir at RB10 and last year he finished at the RB 29 in points per game. So, I'm already banking in a lot of improvement. I don't necessarily know if I'm going to be able to put them over the young promising studs with Jeremiah Love, Amari, and Hampton. I actually like their ceiling a little more.

Now Squan Barkley I drafted in the Flock League last year and it was an absolute disaster. This dude last season gave me two games with over 20 fantasy points and that was at age 28. If we use that range of outcomes tool on flockfantasy.com, you'll see the majority of the time the 28-year-old running back going into his age 29 season actually does decline just a bit. Is it horrendous? Is it where he's no longer usable? No, not at all. But I am concerned with the drop off in efficiency that we had for Saquon Barkley where the explosiveness just didn't look there last year. We didn't get the big plays falling from 5.8 8 to 4.1 yards per attempt. We know at the same time that Jaylen Herz is going to vulture rushing touchdowns and we're not going to have an extremely high checkown rate. So, you have one of two options. One, Saquon Barkley gets back to where he was in 2024 as the running back won in fantasy where the explosive runs come back at 29 and we're able to see the touchdowns again. or two, the explosiveness is not really what it used to be in his one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninth NFL season. And again, you kind of have to be explosive if Jaylen Herz is going to have those goal line opportunities.

Now, Chase Brown looks like he is set up to absolutely smash. Like, if you wanted to rank Chase Brown at RB8s, I wouldn't fault you at all for it. He dodges all competition in the NFL draft. And if you use the player comparison on flockfantasy.com and just look at his weeks one through seven versus weeks 8 through 18, you will have seen a completely different player. And it's burned into my memory that the live stream tried to warn me of this in the middle of the season telling me Chase Brown was about to have this massive emergence. I apologize for not being as smart as y'all were in the live chat because y'all crushed it. Um he had 68% of the snaps this past season, 5.2 2 targets per game, 13 and a half carries per game, almost 20 opportunities a game in back-to-back seasons. Expectations for me are going to be that the Cincinnati Bengals are a much better offense when you have Joe Burrow healthy through the entire year. So, Chase Brown, big-time winner of the NFL draft. And again, I think you could comfortably take any of these running backs in round two of your fantasy league and sleep like a baby.

Now, moving over to Ctier. This is the range of RBs that are going to be going at the end of the second round, the beginning of the third round for me. Josh Jacobs is another running back that I drafted in the flock league last year and he helped me earn that buy. He helped me finish top two in the league in the regular season and then he got injured and he tried to play through it. Pissed me off, too, because I had Emanuel Wilson. I could have easily put in the handcuff option, but nope, he had to tough it out. He had to give you a whopping 4.8 fantasy points in week 16. 1.3 fantasy points in week 17. And if we look at the difference before and after this injury for Josh Jacobs, in the first 10 weeks of the year, he's out there averaging about 20 fantasy points per game. And then in the final six games that he plays through this injury for no reason other than I like he literally hurt the Packers trying to do it as well, not just fantasy teams. Um he falls down to during that stretch seeing less than 10 fantasy points per game which just tanks his entire season numbers down to 15.8 fantasy points per game by the end of the year. But ultimately Josh Jacobs only 28 years old this next season. Still younger than a running back like Saquon Barkley. A back-to-back years finishing as a top 10 running back in fantasy. He's played one, two, three, four, five, six, seven seasons in the NFL and he has six top 12 finishes from a points per game perspective. So, I think he's a very safe pick. Again, you may be getting a discount because the numbers look bad from what he did at the end of the year when he was injured.

Now, moving over to Derrick Henry, complete opposite situation. Derrick Henry was very bad for the vast majority of the year. I hate to say it as I rep his jersey, and y'all know I absolutely love Derrick Henry. Always have, always will. I have a poster of him in my bedroom that I go to sleep to every night. But with Derrick Henry, he was very bad through the vast majority of the season. Week two, he scored two fantasy points. Week three, 10, then 7, 9, 14, 19, 13, 11. He gets better at the end of the year and everything is saved in one week and one week only, where in week 17 when all the money is up for grabs, he scores 45 points. If you remove that one week, Derrick Henry was an extremely disappointing back, but he scores 45 points when it matters most. So, he lives another year inside the top three rounds of fantasy drafts. For me, even though we have been the number one Derrick Henry truther for God knows how long now, in his age 32 season, I will probably be avoiding him at the end of round two of drafts if that's where he goes. If he is a late round three pick, I'll be fine taking him. Hoping that the Baltimore Ravens can bounce back overall with their offensive play this next season. Primarily looking at Lamar Jackson. The benefit that you get with Derrick Henry is he is going into his 10th NFL season. I believe um he's played 10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. No, he's going into his 11th NFL season and he's played fewer than 14 games once.

Now, Travis CTN goes from Jacksonville to New Orleans. And don't get me wrong, New Orleans has a lot of promising things. Um, I don't think Kamar is going to be relevant at all. I mean, Kamara's not with the If Kamar makes a difference in the year 2026, I'm going to be shocked Travis Etn gets paid to be the future back, he's going to be just that. He's going to have a receiving role. He's going to have um 12 to 18 carries per game. He's going to have two to four targets per game. is pretty much what you've seen through his entire NFL career. I do think it's an overall downgrade though offensively moving from Jacksonville to New Orleans, but he's going to be a three down back.

Looking at Kairen Williams, I think Karen Williams is going to be in a much better offense, but Kairen Williams did take a step backwards with his volume this past season where you actually finally saw Blake Corora making an impact for once. Um, he's going into his fifth NFL season here. Over the past three seasons, he's been a top 12 running back in points per game. And I don't really see many reasons to assume that the Los Angeles Rams offense is going to fall off in any type of way soon, especially just knowing that even in this scenario in which um Matthew Stafford has an injury, he's too old for whatever reason. Keep in mind this is MVP Matthew Stafford we're talking about. Well, you got another quarterback to come right in that they just took at pick 13.

Now, moving over to Bree Hall, I think that if Bree Hall signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, I'm going to be honest, I think he's a better running back than Kenneth Walker. I know Kenneth Walker just won Super Bowl MVP, but Bree Hall would probably be an A tier level running back for me. However, uh he got franchise tagged. He is back with the New York Jets and we saw the receiving usage fall this past season from 4.8 down to three targets per game. It's probably going to get better with Gino Smith under center. Decent offensive line, but all in all, it's the New York Jets. This is a team that projects to be in the bottom five of NFL standings right now. And Bri is coming off a season where he just averaged 12 points per game.

Um, going over to Javvante, Javvante looked incredible to start the year. He definitely simmered off near the end of it, but he was very efficient in this Dallas Cowboys offense, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Now, the receiving efficiency, horrendous, 2.7 yards per target. I've almost never seen anything like that, but they still used him as a receiver. He still ran like 18 routes per game, and he's very safely squared in as the Dallas Cowboys starting running back this next year. You don't have the track record of um talent though that you get with a Breeze Hall. So, like these veterans that hit in year five of their NFL career randomly, I'm going to be putting a discount on them if we really hadn't had a chance to consistently see it through the first four years of their career.

Cam Scataboo is one of the biggest winners of the NFL draft where the Giants really don't do anything at running back. And Scataboo looks like he is set good to go as the lead back for the New York Giants this next season with what hopefully is an improved coaching staff. And obviously it was a limited sample last year, but Cam Scataboo was a top 10 running back as a rookie. And you can go back to his time in college where he was clearly able to handle a massive workload.

Now, moving over to Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving is one of the toughest evaluations that you're going to have in fantasy this year. I was expecting him to be going way higher in drafts. I was expecting to have him way higher in my rankings before free agency. But the Buccaneers lose Rashad White, who gets paid almost nothing in Washington. and we'll talk about him at the end of the video. And they push all their chips in the middle, bringing in additional competition for Baky Irving in Tampa, giving Kenneth Gainwell a very large contract. Kenneth Gainwell was pretty much the number one receiving option for Pittsburgh last year. And my hesitation with this is, isn't Bucky supposed to be in that role? Isn't Bucky the guy supposed to be getting the targets out of the backfield? I mean, this is a smaller running back. It's not like you're expecting Bucky Irving to be your absolute goal line hammer. So, if Kenneth Gainwell is going to eat into the receiving work that Bucky's had, and it's safe to say the smaller running back, they maybe this team does want to be a little bit conservative when it comes to his overall workload. I'm concerned it's going to be a committee for Bucky.

Now, moving over to Trevon Henderson. Trevian Henderson looked like at one point he was about to be a round one fantasy pick in the year 2026. In weeks 10 and 11, the man comes through and he has 28 fantasy points, 32 fantasy points. Looks like the most explosive player in the entire New England Patriots offense. He ends the regular season with another 30 point bomb in week 15. And then what happens in the NFL playoffs? They decide for whatever reason, we can't trust Trevian Henderson and we're going to pivot to Armadre. Now, I've seen enough of Arandre Stevenson in my day to believe that Armandre is not anything special. Trevian Henderson was a great prospect coming out of Ohio State. He got solid NFL draft capital and I believe that this is a very, very good offense. I have DM'd Diana Rini on Instagram to see if there's any special reporting I can get you all about the backfield split in New England. As long as you stay subscribed, I will keep you posted when she gets back to me.

Now, moving over to Quinshan Judkins. Um, you want to say that the Cleveland Browns smashed the NFL draft, right? The Cleveland Browns had a really good draft. You want to give them some hope on offense, bringing in two wide receivers out of value, addressing offensive line concerns. This still projects be a bottom five to 10 offense in the league this year. Quinton Judkins still is a running back that's not going to catch a ton of balls out of the backfield. I think he's a great talent, but if you're in a garbage offense and you're not going to catch the ball out of the back field, I'm going to be a little worried about the true ceiling that you have. Now, obviously, hey man, Scataboo coming up big time injuries, which is another reason we're going to be putting a slight discount on him.

Now, going over to Bashell Tutin by Shell Tutin, everybody says the name differently. I know that this is the guy of the summer. He also wins the NFL draft. Not only does Travis ETN gone, but Toutton dodges pretty much all serious competition, which I thought this team was a sneaky team to take a Jadarian price in round two. Now, he had a ton of compelling things with his prospect profile. Super athletic, right? A 93rd percentile RAS score. Um, and he looked okay when he touched the ball this past season. Was the efficiency off the chart? No. 3.7 yards per attempt. Um, 5.6 yards per target. The efficiency was whatever. But an athlete that now looks to be stepping into a running back one role that's extremely valuable. I just want to be on the same page though. This is a fourth round NFL draft pick that we've never seen anything from. We and I mean he had one game last year with more than 10 carries. He played 23% of the snaps last year for the Jacksonville Jaguars. So I'm going to be hesitant. Like I almost feel like I'm too high ranking Amir at 23, but I know I'm not going to draft a lot of them if I'm following off these rankings.

DeAndre Swift has a much higher floor. DeAndre Swift's finished as a top 24 running back every single season of his NFL career and he's going into year seven. He is also a massive winner of the NFL draft. I think if DeAndre Swift goes like a round later than Belle Tutin, I'm going to draft so much DeAndre Swift and very little Tooten in comparison.

Jadarian Price is impossible to know what to expect from in terms of his prospect profile, right? He played alongside Jeremiah Love. Obviously, if you play alongside a running back that's going to go inside the top five picks of the NFL draft in college, you're not really expecting much. Um, from a volume perspective, Jaren Price had four receptions over the past two years. We don't know if he's going to be able to catch the ball at the next level. He's a decent athlete. The film guys absolutely love him, and you can tell that film guys absolutely love him by him going round one in the NFL draft. So, the expectation is he's the guy for Seattle right out the gate. And keep in mind with this as well that you don't have Zack Sharpet for the vast majority of the year.

Now, if you're using these rankings in those underdog drafts that are dropping today, um you'll notice that um the ADP is way thrown off, right? Like Jadarian Price is going like four rounds too late in ADP. So, make sure you are using that new best baseball extension that we launched on flockfantasy.com. That way, you can just see my rankings right in there. You can see the roster construction optimizer, the whole nine yards. If y'all are already an annual [ __ ] on flockfantasy.com, it's only like a $49 upgrade. It's by far and away the cheapest best ball extension you're going to see where the average across the industry is anywhere from $300 to $800 a year. And if you're not an annual [ __ ] that's only 97 bucks and that gets you access to everything on flockfantasy.com year round.

Now, moving over to David McGomery at 26. Another winner of the NFL draft. Some people were thinking this was a team that could have gone with a Jonah Coleman in round three. Um, obviously McGomery didn't do anything last year, only played 37% of the snaps of the Lions, finishes as the RB33, but the Houston Texans pay a considerable amount to go out there and get him, indicating that he is the guy that you're going to be looking at this next year for volume.

Now, moving over to Chuba Hubard, the expectations will be that Chuba's the starter here in Carolina. They no longer have Rico D. Um, but you're looking at a very long career where we've had one okay season from Juba Hubard in 2024. There's an outside chance Jonathan Brooks does something.

Looking at Jaylen Warren, he's played four years of his NFL career. The most points we've seen is 13 and a half per game this past season. So, um, I think you're also concerned about Rico Dattle having this as a committee.

Moving over to Remadre Stevenson. Raandadre ended this past regular season with 27 fantasy points against the Jets, 35 fantasy points against the Miami Dolphins, and then he is the clear starter for the New England Patriots in the NFL playoffs. My expectations are Trevian takes a step forward. Again, Raadre has played five years in the NFL and he's never averaged 15 fantasy points per game.

RJ Harvey, I'm not going to lie to y'all. I thought I was going to be overweight on him cuz I had heard all the chatter going into the NFL draft. People saying Shawn Peyton doesn't trust RJ Harvey. Oh, you can't draft R.J. Harvey as a top 24 back this year. Despite last season him being a rookie and him being RB 24 in points per game, but then they draft Jonah Coleman. So, not only do you have JK Dobbins, but you have Jonah Coleman indicating that R.J. Harvey is pretty much destined to be in a committee.

going over and looking at Kyle Manung guy. Big- time winner of the NFL draft. The Chicago Bears don't address anything here. So, he looks to be that RB2. Um Tony Pard, it probably is the starting running back for the Titans this next season. Like, you do have a day three pick being spent here by Tennessee, but I'm not super worried about that level of investment. Rico Dattle goes over to Pittsburgh. Doubt was the best running back in fantasy football for three weeks, but outside of that, we've never seen anything from him.

And then going down to the G tier, I don't know what to expect with Jordan Mason. Jordan Mason looks like a horrible running back. Jordan Mason has had three games of his NFL career of note and he's played for four seasons, but the Minnesota Vikings don't address anything at RB. Aaron Jones is gonna be 32 years old this next season and he's coming off a year where he just finished as the RB 32. Um Blake Cororm expanded his role at the end of the year. Went from 11% of the snaps up to 29% in Los Angeles. Actually averaged almost one carry per game inside the 5 yard line. But you still have Kairen as the lead guy. Um Washington doesn't address the running back position really at all in the draft. I would be way way higher on Rashad White in these rankings if it wasn't for the fact that they paid him literally nothing. Um, Kim Gainwell looks like he very much could be in play in baseball. This like the perfect example of somebody in a regular reddraft league. That'd be very hard to know exactly when to start, but um, he will give you random usable weeks. Chris Rodriguez, he gets the contract with the Jags, a really good landing spot, and it's not like Toutin has guaranteed himself the lead job. And then Jaori Kroski Merritt all the hype in the world does absolutely nothing last season. However, again you now are in a world in which the commander dep chart is even thinner than it was at running back.

But I really appreciate you. Really hope that I was able to help you out in some way here. Again, I'm going to be live streaming every single day until Christmas. So I hope I get to see you there. Much love, ladies and gentlemen, and can't wait to get in these drafts.
