Christian McCaffrey, CAR: Expect larger role than 2017, but addition of C.J. Anderson is a bit of a buzzkill to his ceiling for 2018.
|
| |
Le'Veon Bell, PIT: Contract situation suggests 2018 may be his last year in Pittsburgh.
|
| |
Joe Mixon, CIN: Improved o-line among the things that should allow him to fulfill his potential in Year 2.
|
 |
Jerick McKinnon, SF: HC Kyle Shanahan has coached a top-15 fantasy back in five of his last six seasons.
|
| |
Kenyan Drake, MIA: Should remain lead dog in Miami, but arrivals of Gore and Balllage could lead to fantasy frustration.
|
| |
Derrius Guice, WAS: Presence of Chris Thompson the only thing keeping him from being ranked considerably higher.
|
 |
Derrick Henry, TEN: Arrival of Dion Lewis figures to lead to weekly inconsistency.
|
| |
LeSean McCoy, BUF: RBs - especially those who rely on speed and quickness - do not tend to last long into their 30s.
|
| |
Sony Michel, NE: Love the player, love the potential if had a clear path to 200+ touches; but don't love the situation.
|
| |
Royce Freeman, DEN: Early-down role should be a near-lock; will he be asked to assume passing-down work too?
|
|
Tarik Cohen, CHI: Expect HC Matt Nagy to make him a much more consistent force than previous regime did.
|
| |
Marlon Mack, IND: The best RB talent behind what should be an improved o-line, but new regime seems intent on a committee.
|
|
Matt Breida, SF: Would not be surprised if he takes on Tevin Coleman role in Kyle Shanahan's offense.
|
|
C.J. Anderson, CAR: Caps McCaffrey's fantasy value for one more year as he takes on old Jonathan Stewart role.
|
| |
James Conner, PIT: Another year removed from cancer treatments; primary backup to RB who logged 400+ touches in 2017.
|
|
Ameer Abdullah, DET: Still worth buying (really) low where possible.
|
| |
Nyheim Hines, IND: Destined for major passing-down role in what figures to be a RBBC.
|
| |
Mark Walton, CIN: Good enough talent to make Giovani Bernard expendable after this season.
|
| |
John Kelly, LAR: Worthwhile handcuff option for Todd Gurley owners.
|
| |
Chase Edmonds, ARI: While obviously not in David Johnson's class, he gives Arizona a worthy handcuff for the first time in ages.
