Running Back Rankings

These are my very preliminary RB rankings, my only research being the RotoWire depth charts and player notes.

Tier 1

Christian McCaffrey

He’s 28 years old, has 1,402 career carries including the postseason and weighs only 205 pounds at 5-11. But McCaffrey is arguably the greatest running back all time, when you include the pass catching, and he’s in the league’s best system for backs. Health is really the only variable, and anyone can get hurt.

Tier 2

Breece Hall, Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor

These are the three-down backs with elite skill sets. Hall should be better another year removed from the ACL tear and playing with a better QB, Robinson should get the heavy usage he merits with Arthur Smith gone, Barkley finally gets a quality offensive line and QB and Taylor plays next to a running QB and has little competition for carries.
