Christian McCaffrey, SF: Best fantasy RB in the game and it's not even close.
|
|
Bijan Robinson, ATL: We're all expecting more Bijan in 2024. Will we get it?
|
|
Breece Hall, NYJ: One of the few bell-cow RBs in the league. 299 touches a year ago.
|
|
Jonathan Taylor, IND: Bellcow RB that will head into training camp healthy. Little competition in RB room.
|
|
Kyren Williams, LAR: McVay loves a bellcow RB. Foot issues and injuries are a concern.
|
|
Derrick Henry, BAL: Low-end RB1 value is still attainable for Henry even with Lamar's rushing prowess.
|
|
Saquon Barkley, PHI: Hurts may cap Barkley's TD upside but RB should thrive in a better offensive environment.
|
|
Travis Etienne, JAC: Yards per carry dipped to 3.8 last season. Coaches have talked about removing some touches from is plate.
|
|
James Cook, BUF: Easy RB2 as the lead RB in a powerful offense. Lack of TDs keeps out of RB1 conversation.
|
|
Jahmyr Gibbs, DET: Hamstring injury isn't expected to keep him out Week 1. More value in PPR leagues.
|
|
Isiah Pacheco, KC: Lead back in a great offense. Little competition in RB room.
|
|
Kenneth Walker, SEA: 220 rushing attempts is a good bet for Walker.
|
|
Josh Jacobs, GB: New lead back for GB. Should get as many carries as he can handle.
|
|
David Montgomery, DET: Likely to score double-digit TDs and a good bet for 200-plus rushing attempts.
|
|
De'Von Achane, MIA: Achane missed 6 games due to injury. Was fourth among RBs in FPts/G. Mostert was third.
|
|
Rachaad White, TB: Inefficient as a runner through two seasons. Volume and receiving chops make him valuable low-end RB1 if role remains same.
|
|
Joe Mixon, HOU: Good landing spot for Mixon. Should be lead back with 200-plus carries.
|
|
Alvin Kamara, NO: Most valuable in PPR leagues. Taysom Hill will cap Kamara's upside.
|
|
Raheem Mostert, MIA: 21 TDs last season resulted in a RB3 finish for Mostert.
|
|
Zamir White, LV: Lead back with Alexander Mattison playing a complementary role. Should get over 200 carries.
|
|
Aaron Jones, MIN: HC Kevin O'Connell wants improvement in the running game.
|
|
Najee Harris, PIT: Arthur Smith now the OC in Pittsburgh. Should be plenty of work for Harris and Warren.
|
|
Rhamondre Stevenson, NE: Splitting time with Antonio Gibson. Missed five games last season due to ankle injury.
|
|
James Conner, ARI: Cardinals will ride Conner as long as he's healthy.
|
|
Brian Robinson Jr., WAS: Showed proficiency as a receiver last season but Ekeler could steal his targets.
|
|
D'Andre Swift, CHI: Swift joins crowded RB room but expected to be the lead back.
|
|
Javonte Williams, DEN: Perine out. Lead back with McLaughlin mixing in.
|
|
Gus Edwards, LAC: Early-down RB with TD upside in an offense expected to be run-heavy.
|
|
Jaylen Warren, PIT: Picked up hamstring injury in Pre-season Week 2. Questionable for Week 1.
|
|
Tony Pollard, TEN: Pollard and Spears expected to share backfield duties in 2024.
|
|
Zack Moss, CIN: Expecting more of a committee approach with Moss and Chase Brown. Both should have weekly Flex value.
|
|
Devin Singletary, NYG: Not overly talented but could provide RB2 value based on volume.
|
|
Tyjae Spears, TEN: Pollard and Spears expected to share backfield duties in 2024.
|
|
Ezekiel Elliott, DAL: Zeke back in Dallas but won't be in a bellcow role. Expect him to share time with Dowdle.
|
|
Jonathon Brooks, CAR: Brooks (ACL) may not see action until Week 3 or 4.
|
|
Chase Brown, CIN: Expecting more of a committee approach with Brown and Zack Moss. Both should have weekly Flex value.
|
|
Jerome Ford, CLE: Ford provided value in 2023 filling in for Chubb. More of the same early in 2024.
|
|
Austin Ekeler, WAS: Didn't look great in 2023 after early-season ankle injury. Likely to play third downs, but how much early-down work?
|
|
Ty Chandler, MIN: Should play backup role to Aaron Jones. Late-round flier.
|
|
J.K. Dobbins, LAC: Achilles and ACL injuries the last two seasons. Low expectations.
|
|
Tyler Allgeier, ATL: A more condensed offense means Allgeier is less of a flex option than in years past.
|
|
Zach Charbonnet, SEA: Charbonnet set to fill complementary RB role once again. 40 targets as a rookie.
|
|
Rico Dowdle, DAL: Should get more opportunities in Year 3. Dalvin Cook added to the mix.
|
|
Chuba Hubbard, CAR: Took over the lead-back role last season but doesn't fit the profile. Brooks waiting in the wings.
|
|
Trey Benson, ARI: Rookie waiting his turn. Should easily land backup role.
|
|
Jaleel McLaughlin, DEN: Should be second inline behind Javonte.
|
|
Nick Chubb, CLE: Mid-September knee injury likely to limit Chubb's 2024 season.
|
|
Blake Corum, LAR: Corum is worth a late-round look as the backup to Kyren Williams.
|
|
Antonio Gibson, NE: Should see plenty of work as the Patriots are set up to run.
|
|
Ray Davis, BUF: A nice complement to Cook. Bigger back that will be used in short-yardage and goaline.
|
|
Braelon Allen, NYJ: Has a leg up for the backup role behind Breece.
|
|
MarShawn Lloyd, GB: Barely saw the field during camp.
|
|
Khalil Herbert, CHI: Complementary back to Swift but will battle Roschon Johnson for touches.
|
|
Kenneth Gainwell, PHI: Boston Scott moved on, leaving Gainwell as clear backup RB to Barkley.
|
|
Justice Hill, BAL: Should start the season as Henry's backup but hold little fantasy value.
|
|
Samaje Perine, KC: Cut, then resurfaced in KC.
|
|
Jaylen Wright, MIA: Yet another explosive RB for Miami. Path is blocked by Mostert and Achane.
|
|
Tank Bigsby, JAC: Got demoted last season but will get another shot to backup Etienne.
|
|
D'Onta Foreman, CLE: Should split time with Ford early in the season.
|
|
Dameon Pierce, HOU: Fell out of favor last season. Now finds himself in backup role behind Mixon.
|
|
Ty Johnson, BUF: Ray Davis fans aren't going to like how much Ty Johnson is used.
|
|
Kendre Miller, NO: Will miss first four games. Played only 9.7% of the snaps last season.
|
|
Eric Gray, NYG: Battling Tyrone Tracy Jr. for snaps behind Singletary.
|
|
Keaton Mitchell, BAL: Not expected back until sometime during the season.
