Top 25 Fantasy Football Running Backs of 2023
For my top-25 fantasy running backs, you’ll see a detailed write-up for every player to better understand how I’m viewing their role for the 2023 season.
Further down, I list five runners who just missed the cut, and why they were kept out of my top-25. I’ll also have a series discussing the state of all 32 running back rooms later this summer, so rest assured, all potentially relevant running backs will be analyzed and discussed.
Top 25 Fantasy Running Backs
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers
Christian McCaffrey was second among running backs with 108 targets and 85 receptions last season. McCaffrey also carried the ball 244 times — no other RB with 75 or more receptions carried even 205 times in 2022. In short, McCaffrey has the most unique and fantasy-relevant role in the NFL on one of the league’s most efficient offenses. If Trey Lance becomes the favorite to start games for the San Francisco 49ers, McCaffrey will drop toward the back end of the first round in fantasy drafts.
Assuming it’s Brock Purdy or Sam Darnold, who will both check the ball down frequently, McCaffrey is the running back to select at the top of fantasy drafts. Because he was traded from Carolina to the 49ers midseason, there’s a chance McCaffrey will be even more integrated into this offense’s playbook in 2023.
While Austin Ekeler’s receptions uptick occurred due to injuries to the entire Chargers’ receiving core, McCaffrey always played with at least two of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle. He still averaged more than five receptions per game in the nine games played with at least a 50 percent snap share. Those nine don't include his partial performances from his first game with the 49ers when he had a 29 percent snap share and his brief appearance in Week 18 when his team demolished the Cardinals.
2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons
After being selected No. 8 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, it’s hard to see the Atlanta Falcons doing anything other than giving this man a similar workload to rookie year Najee Harris (381 total touches). Unlike Harris, Bijan Robinson is explosive and shifty, and a truly excellent pass-catcher.
The Falcons have a premium offensive line and should keep defenses honest with Drake London and Kyle Pitts in the receiving game. However, Desmond Ridder at quarterback is not the archetype to check the ball down frequently to running backs. This team also is unlikely to be near the top of the league in total TDs.
Additionally, Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson are competent enough that there’s a chance Robinson gets 250-300 efficient touches as a rookie and finishes as a mid-to-low-end RB1. Still, the floor is top-10 running back and the ceiling is RB1 overall. He’s the safest RB pick in fantasy football because he's arguably the best talent at the position in an above-average situation.
3. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers
Ekeler is the only running back to post at least 21 PPR points per game in each of the past two seasons. Part of the reason is his 38 total touchdowns since 2021 not only rank first at the position but first by a margin of 12. James Conner is second with 26 total in that span.
There are a few concerns with Ekeler keeping him as my RB3 for 2023. He’s 28 years old, with a smaller frame, and coming off back-to-back seasons with at least 204 carries and 94 targets. That workload catches up to most running backs, particularly smaller ones like Ekeler.
New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore arrived from Dallas, where they routinely employed a running back committee. Whether that’s Joshua Kelley, Isaiah Spiller, or bringing in a veteran such as Dalvin Cook or Ezekiel Elliott, there’s a moderately high chance Ekeler will split some of those valuable goal-line opportunities.
Finally, while Ekeler’s league-leading 107 receptions last season demonstrated his elite receiving ceiling, it occurred due to multiple receiver injuries. The Chargers drafted Quentin Johnston in Round 1 to provide additional depth and play-making ability to the receiver room, so Ekeler’s receiving upside should be lower than in 2022. Despite those concerns, Ekeler is a pass-catching back with a decent run game role, playing on one of the NFL’s best and fastest-paced offenses, which keeps him near the top of these rankings.
4. Saquon Barkley, New York Giants
Saquon Barkley has a better role than nearly every running back in fantasy football. Last year’s 295 carries and 76 targets reaffirmed he’s one of the NFL’s last true bell cow backs. While Barkley had the third most touches per game among backs, his 10 total touchdowns ranked just 10th at the position.
The New York Giants offense should be better in Year 2 of the Daniel Jones-Brian Daboll era, so we could see improvement from Barkley’s 17.8 PPR points per game, which ranked fifth last season.
5. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns
Nick Chubb has averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry in all five seasons and now has the mobile Deshaun Watson, a replenished offensive line, and no Kareem Hunt to share the backfield with.
Chubb has two seasons with around 1,500 rushing yards and three seasons with double-digit TDs. He’s in for a strong season, with last year’s 1,764 total yards and 13 TDs as a nice expectation if he plays 17 games again. While Chubb will never be a strong pass-catcher for fantasy football, he’s in a good spot to put up his first season above 300 receiving yards to complement his elite rushing profile.
6. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts
All Jonathan Taylor analysis should start with new quarterback Anthony Richardson, rather than his injury-riddled 2022 campaign. Taylor is not unique because running backs have injury concerns when they’re getting 20 touches per game.
Richardson is a highly mobile signal-caller, so there will be far fewer check downs to the running back position. He’ll simply scramble for 5 yards instead. Think of 2022 Miles Sanders as the parallel, where he was given 15 highly efficient carries per game, with almost nothing in the receiving game. Sanders finished with 11 rushing TDs, and averaged just 12.2 half-PPR points per game, finishing as the RB16. Taylor should get closer to 18-20 carries, which makes it difficult to project anything more than 15-16 points per game.
With minimal pass game usage and Richardson vulturing a few at the goal line, Taylor does not look like a first-round pick in fantasy football.
7. Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys
Tony Pollard has never reached 200 carries in any season of his career, dating back through college. He’s an explosive runner and slick pass-catcher, but it’s an uphill battle for him to see the volume that the surrounding running backs in these rankings are likely to see.
While the Dallas Cowboys depth chart is currently barren, they almost certainly will sign a veteran to take some of the workload off Pollard. Pollard was the RB8 per game last year, averaging 15.6 PPR points despite only running 12 times and catching 2.4 receptions per game. Those numbers likely tick up in 2023 now that Elliott is gone and Pollard is on the franchise tag.
Pollard should be one of the NFL’s most efficient backs, and the Cowboys have the No. 1 and No. 4 scoring offenses over the past two seasons, so the touchdown upside is evident.
8. Breece Hall, New York Jets
If we knew Breece Hall would be healthy for Week 1 and that Cook wasn’t signing with the Jets, he would have a good case to be in the Falcons' Robinson range for these rankings. Hall’s ACL recovery is ahead of schedule according to every major media outlet and Twitter physical therapist. Even if he’s eased in to start the season, Hall still put up 16.4 PPR points per game last year despite averaging only seven carries per game in September.
Hall only reached a 60 percent snap share in three of his seven games and was below a 30 percent snap share in two of them. He has plenty of margin for error with his workload and recovery for fantasy football, and a healthy Hall with QB Aaron Rodgers should result in top-3 fantasy numbers by the fantasy playoffs, where all the money is won in leagues.
The injury adds risk to his profile, but we are trying to finish first out of 12 teams, rather than fifth or sixth, so we want to chase the ceiling outcomes with these players, rather than the most likely.
9. Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots
Rhamondre Stevenson was given 210 carries last season behind one of the NFL’s better offensive lines. Because Mac Jones is a stationary quarterback surrounded by below-average receiving talent, many pass plays ended in Stevenson dump-offs, and his 17.3 percent target share ranked fourth among running backs last year.
There is still minimal competition for touches in this backfield, and the New England Patriots once again have one the league’s worst receiving corps. Despite 279 touches, Stevenson only managed six total touchdowns, a number that should rise due to more competent coaching in 2023 — Matt Patricia was severely under qualified to lead this offense as a play-caller last season.
10. Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders
Josh Jacobs had a borderline historic 2022 season. His 393 total touches were the fifth most of the past decade, and his 2,053 scrimmage yards were the ninth most during the past 10 seasons.
Unfortunately, there are red warning flags with Jacobs for 2023 that prevent me from sliding him in as my RB3, despite his RB3 per game finish in 2022 (19.3 PPR points per game). New Raider Jimmy Garoppolo is a mediocre quarterback who will be playing behind the worst offensive line of his career. He’s struggled with injuries throughout his career and facing constant pressure in 2023 will not do him any favors.
Non-elite running back talents such as Jacobs usually struggle in the season following a massive workload, and his league-leading 393 touches certainly qualify. There are also concerns he may hold out to start the season. He has been vocal about not wanting to play under the franchise tag.
11. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
Derrick Henry has at least 1,500 rushing yards in three of the past four seasons, an unreal rushing stretch. He’s reached double-digit rushing touchdowns each of the past four seasons, too. Henry even emerged as a surprising pass-catching option in 2022, as his 398 receiving yards were nearly double his previous career-high.
However, this is not an offense to be optimistic about. The already patchwork offensive line suffered another blow when starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended for the season’s first six games due to gambling. After Treylon Burks, this looks like a receiving room comprised of practice squad-caliber players.
Defenses should key in on Henry in an obvious reset season for the Tennessee Titans. And Henry will be 30 years old before the season ends. The Big Dog has made a career out of proving fantasy analysts wrong, but too many warning signs are present to feel confident taking him early in fantasy football. The one caveat is for high-volume drafters because we’d recommend occasional exposure due to his playoff schedule. In Weeks 15 through 17 he faces the Texans twice, along with the Seahawks. Both units were top-4 in fantasy points allowed to the position last season.
12. Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Etienne is the workhorse back in one of the NFL’s best offenses, and one who carries premium Round 1 draft capital with him. Once James Robinson was off the team after Week 6, Etienne reached a 70 percent or higher snap share in eight of 11 games. He topped 100 rushing yards in five of those contests. Despite having a smaller than expected receiving role, he finished the season with 316 yards through the air, a respectable figure.
He’s a home run hitter with the ball in his hands who only scored five total touchdowns on 255 touches. There’s serious untapped touchdown upside, and while third-round pick Tank Bigsby is joining this backfield, Etienne is better in every way, most likely relegating Bigsby to a breather-back role. The advanced metrics also back up Etienne’s rushing prowess. The NFL’s Next Gen Stats had Etienne as the fourth-best runner in rushing yards over expected per attempt in 2022.
He was only the RB19 per game from Week 7 onward when he took over as the starter, but that was mainly due to his lack of touchdowns. Bet on the Jaguars' offense and Etienne’s talent as a player for fantasy football in 2023.
13. Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
Our Ryan Reynolds has labeled Najee Harris as “this year’s Josh Jacobs.” Essentially, Harris is often passed over in fantasy drafts due to a lack of upside, yet he has everything needed for an elite fantasy season. He has Round 1 draft capital to insulate him, a much-improved Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line, and a quarterback in Kenny Pickett who could make a leap forward entering Year 2.
Harris led the NFL with 381 touches as a rookie, with 74 of those coming through the passing game. Last year, he struggled with a foot injury before the season began, which may have hampered him early on. Harris rounded into form down the stretch, as he reached 80 rushing yards in six of his final nine games.
We’ve seen him put it together as a runner and receiver for stretches before, but it looks increasingly likely that Jaylen Warren will cut into his workload enough to prevent an elite fantasy outcome. The Steelers offense should be better than last year, but it’s almost certainly not a top unit yet. Harris likely will put together a 2023 season somewhere behind his stellar rookie season and his disappointing 2022 campaign.
14. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions
The Lions selected Jahmyr Gibbs at 12th overall in the most recent draft. He will play behind a top offensive line, alongside a statuesque quarterback in Jared Goff, who has a penchant for checking the ball down to his running backs. While Gibbs is undersized at around 199 pounds, he put up strong counting stats in college.
He was second at Georgia Tech in total receiving yards as a true freshman, before falling just 24 receiving yards behind the team’s leader in his sophomore season. He transferred to Alabama as a junior and immediately led the team in rushing yards and receptions while ranking third in receiving yards. Think of him as a slightly smaller Alvin Kamara with better long speed. Or a faster Ekeler. Either way, Gibbs should be highly fantasy relevant in Detroit, even if he cedes the majority of the goal line carries to the much bigger David Montgomery.
The Lions had the most PPR fantasy points per game among all NFL backfields in 2022, despite D’Andre Swift missing significant time. I’d anticipate an efficient 125-175 carries for Gibbs, along with 45-75 receptions, and several long touchdowns. Pollard’s 2022 season is a good benchmark for how a moderately used back can still put up difference-making fantasy production.
15. JK Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens
JK Dobbins missed all of the 2021 season after tearing nearly every ligament in his knee. His 2022 season reflected this major injury, as he only received 92 carries across eight games, visibly limping during multiple breakaway runs. And still, he managed 5.7 yards per carry — Dobbins is among the NFL’s most talented pure runners.
While he’s never received high rushing volume, he’s demonstrated an ability to be hyper-efficient on his touches and should be healthier in 2022. New offensive coordinator Todd Monken has a history of pass-heavy schemes that involve the running back in the passing game.
There’s a real shot for Dobbins to get two or three receptions per game, along with 15 efficient carries each week. He’s a poor man’s Chubb tied to Lamar Jackson, and Dobbins is a player I want to bet on in 2023 fantasy football.
16. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Mixon is the clear workhorse on an elite Bengals offense. He set career-highs in targets (75), receptions (60), and receiving yards (441) in 2022. He’s averaged at least 15 carries per game each of the past five seasons. Yet, he was out-snapped in two of the Bengals’ three playoff games last season by Samaje Perine.
Mixon restructured his contract, so he’ll be in Cincinnati for the 2023 season, and he’s surrounded by unknowns in this backfield. The concerns arise due to his horrid rushing efficiency, the Bengals' lack of a difference-making offensive line and his potential legal troubles. There is still a chance the Bengals sign another back to ease Mixon’s workload. He lacked a consistent ceiling in 2022, with only two games above 19 fantasy points, yet five games below 12 PPR points.
Zooming out, Mixon has still put up back-to-back seasons with at least 17 fantasy points per game and remains on a Joe Burrow offense. Mixon’s talent concerns me, but he should not be a full fade for fantasy.
17. Dameon Pierce, Houston Texans
Dameon Pierce received at least a 50 percent snap share in 12 of his 13 games as a rookie. Those 12 games came out to a pace of 296 carries, 1,284 rushing yards and 41 receptions over 17 games. This was as a fourth-round rookie.
The Houston Texans have a premium offensive line, a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud who is likely friendly to backs in the receiving game, and minimal competition for touches. The undersized and underwhelming Devin Singletary is the only possible threat to high-value touches.
Pierce’s advanced rushing stats were all elite in 2022, as his broken tackles per attempt were tied for first in the NFL with Aaron Jones, and his missed tackles caused per attempt ranked ninth, according to our flagship tool, The Edge.
18. Kenneth Walker, Seattle Seahawks
Kenneth Walker began his rookie season behind Rashaad Penny, but he took off once Penny missed time due to injury. As the Seattle Seahawks starter from Week 5 onward, Walker paced for 302 carries, 1,405 rushing yards, and 30 receptions during a 17-game season. He has home run speed and above-average vision while playing in a surprisingly strong Seahawks offense.
The massive thorn in his side is rookie Zach Charbonnet, who was picked in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Charbonnet is the better pass-catcher and is a threat to Walker’s goal-line role. This is one of the more frustrating situations for fantasy, and Walker almost certainly needs a Charbonnet injury to have true fantasy upside.
19. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Jones has either put up double-digit touchdowns or 1,500 or more scrimmage yards each of the past four seasons while playing with Aaron Rodgers. The move to Jordan Love is a steep one, and Jones’ typical workload of 210 carries and 50 receptions becomes significantly less appealing if he’s no longer attached to a high-scoring Green Bay Packers offense.
Jones is getting up there in age, too, as he turns 29 in December. His pass-catching role is fantasy friendly, but even the goal-line work is uncertain because A.J. Dillon had seven rushing touchdowns to Jones’ two last season.
20. D’Andre Swift, Philadelphia Eagles
While many view D'Andre Swift changing teams as a positive because he’s now on the Philadelphia Eagles — the team that led the NFL in rushing touchdowns by a considerable margin — I’m concerned the Lions gave up on him. Talented players changing teams isn’t usually a positive for their fantasy outlook, and Detroit was clearly tired of Swift’s injuries and inconsistent play.
Fortunately, there's a lot to like about Swift in Philadelphia. Running back competition is minimal, as the oft-injured Rashaad Penny, pass-catching backup Kenneth Gainwell, undersized Boston Scott and 49ers flameout Trey Sermon comprise the remainder of this backfield. Jalen Hurts has never targeted the running back position at a high rate, but someone with Swift’s talent will likely shift that calculus, at least slightly.
Swift always mixed in for goal-line carries and red zone targets in Detroit, so there’s significant scoring upside for him in an Eagles offense that scored 32 rushing touchdowns in 2022 — eight more than any other team. The Eagles have a great offensive line, which will allow Swift to remain efficient on the ground and demonstrate his big-play abilities. He’s a tough projection who could very well find himself in a timeshare that lacks massive target volume. There’s also a real possibility he gets 200 carries and 45 receptions on the NFL’s top-scoring offense. He’s a risky, but tantalizing pick in the middle rounds of fantasy football.
21. David Montgomery, Detroit Lions
This is likely the highest you’ve seen David Montgomery ranked in fantasy for 2023. To begin, his track record is stellar: through four seasons, he’s averaged 229 carries, 39 receptions, 1,212 total yards, and 7.5 touchdowns. He’s never had fewer than 235 touches in a season, showcasing his durability. The Lions signed him to a three-year deal with $11 million in guarantees, a true investment in him at the position.
The rookie Gibbs is the better player, but Montgomery has 25 pounds on him and is the current favorite for goal-line work. Gibbs weighing 199 pounds will also cap his total volume, so Montgomery projects for around 250 touches. The Lions have a top offensive line, and the immobile Goff should target Montgomery often whenever he’s on the field. Montgomery likely gives you low-end RB2 production each week, but should anything happen to Gibbs, Montgomery would be a locked-in top-8 fantasy option at the position.
22. Miles Sanders, Carolina Panthers
Miles Sanders is a flawed but exciting player. His pass-blocking deficiencies will always put an artificial cap on his receiving workload, but the speedy back is one of the NFL’s better pure runners. Last season, he had a career-high 15 carries per game, turning that into 1,269 rushing yards (5.0 YPC) and 11 rushing touchdowns.
However, even on the Eagles' offense, with a top offensive line and Hurts in front of him, Sanders was just the RB21 per game in PPR leagues (12.7 PPR per game). The Carolina Panthers invested a decent amount of money into him, and their offensive line is solid, but this team is clearly in Bryce Young’s hands now. It’s tough to see Carolina expanding his pass game workload if that results in the pint-sized Young taking unnecessary hits from defenders. Most likely, Sanders gets a similar workload to last season but experiences a slight dip in efficiency and touchdowns.
23. Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco is a feel-good story from 2022, as the seventh-round rookie forced his way into more and more playing time with the Kansas City Chiefs as the season progressed. He has elite long speed, and he could conceivably earn more work in his second NFL season on the ground and through the passing game. His biggest hurdle currently is the 31-year-old Jerick McKinnon, so Pacheco has an outside chance at a workhorse role in the NFL’s best offense.
Pacheco earned significant playing time from Week 10 onward, and during that nine-game stretch, he paced for 238 carries, 1,196 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns during a 17-game season. His fantasy points during that stretch were 11.7 per game, good for 26th at the position, so there’s definitely some projection taking place with his current ranking. The bet on Pacheco is a bet on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense, along with a step forward in playing time in his second season.
24. Cam Akers, Los Angeles Rams
For those familiar with my work, it was no secret that I was high on Cam Akers coming out of college. An Achilles tear derailed his career, but by the end of last season, he looked like he was finally turning the corner. Akers played at least 70 percent of the running back snaps in five of six games from Week 13 onward, averaging 17 carries, 85 rushing yards, 17 receiving yards, and a touchdown per game during that month-and-a-half period. His 17.7 PPR points per game over that stretch were the fifth most. He’s unlikely to hold up to that much volume in 2023, but it’s a glimpse into his upside.
The Los Angeles Rams' offensive line still is in tough shape but should be better than last year. Additionally, Matthew Stafford is healthy again, which elevates the entirety of the Rams offense. The running back room has no major competition, as veteran Sony Michel, pass-catcher Kyren Williams, and seventh-round rookie Zach Evans are the main competition for touches.
25. James Conner, Arizona Cardinals
There is a stat floating around that shows James Conner averages 22 fantasy points per game in non-Kyler Murray starts. Please don’t use that tiny sample as the reason to reach on Conner in fantasy drafts. The Arizona Cardinals have a problematic offensive line, and Murray won’t return until midseason at the earliest. This is an offense that will struggle to score touchdowns and matriculate the ball downfield. Fortunately for Conner, he should see ample opportunities in the passing game, and his pure usage could very well be top-10 at the position.
While Conner may not be a starting option early in the season, when Murray returns, I’ll be very interested in this fast-paced offense that will be routinely playing from behind. Conner’s career-high 55 receptions from 2018 are within play for 2023, and he managed 46 receptions through 13 games last season. Conner is 28, and there will be injury concerns with him each season, but he could surge late in the season and become a key piece for those winning fantasy championships, hence his inclusion in the top-25.
Just Missed The Cut
Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rachaad White caught 50 passes from Tom Brady as a rookie, but unfortunately for White, Brady has been replaced by Baker Mayfield. Since-released Leonard Fournette saw significantly more opportunities in the passing game with 73 receptions. Most advanced rushing metrics viewed White as a below-average player, and this Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense scored the second-fewest points in the NFL last year — with Brady.
This is an offense to avoid in fantasy football, and while White may see serious volume, it’s hard to see him scoring more than a handful of touchdowns. Should Tampa Bay bring in additional running back competition, White’s profile indicates he once again would be relegated to a frustrating committee for fantasy football.
Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings
Dalvin Cook’s declining efficiency is often noted when discussing Alexander Mattison, which is funny considering Mattison has averaged 3.7 and 3.8 yards per carry during the past two seasons, while Cook was at 4.7 and 4.4 during the same stretch. Mattison is a career backup who does have a shot to start for a solid Minnesota Vikings offense in 2023. However, there’s a real chance the team will sign someone, and Mattison is not a particularly good talent in his own right. He has fantasy potential should he be the team’s 2023 starter, but that’s too thin of a possibility for me to rank him within the top-25.
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
There is uncertainty about Alvin Kamara’s suspension, though all indications are that it will happen sometime during the 2023 NFL Season. At times last season, Kamara had one of the best roles in all of fantasy, as he averaged 15 carries and nearly four receptions per game. However, he’s 28, and the New Orleans Saints signed veteran Jamaal Williams and drafted rookie Kendre Miller in Round 3.
New quarterback Derek Carr could elevate this offense, and the offensive line still looks strong on paper. Kamara could firmly cement himself into the top-25 after more clarity is gained surrounding the suspension and his 2023 role. Until then, he falls just outside my top-25.
Dalvin Cook, free agent
Dalvin Cook has at least 1,383 total yards each of the past four seasons and retains the requisite long speed to break big runs. However, he’s about to turn 28 and currently is a free agent. If he is signed by Miami, he moves into the top-15. If the Jets sign him, Hall tumbles in the rankings, and Cook would remain outside the top-25. This is a situation to monitor for a veteran whose instincts as a runner sharply declined last season via most advanced rushing metrics.
Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks
Zach Charbonnet is a big, moderately athletic back who put up strong numbers at UCLA before the Seahawks drafted him in Round 2. He’s a threat to Walker’s goal-line work in Seattle and is the favorite for the pass-catching role in this offense. It’s tough to see him being consistently fantasy relevant outside of a Walker injury, but there’s at least some chance he scores more fantasy points even if both remain healthy. Should Walker go down with an injury, Charbonnet could easily command 15 carries and three receptions per game in a top-scoring offense — which would place him in the RB1 fantasy conversation.
Craving more running back content? I’ll be discussing the state of all 32 teams’ running back rooms later this summer, where I break down how I expect between the 20s, third down work, and goal line opportunities to be split up.
