Top 25 Fantasy Football Running Backs

by James Layton

Today we take a look at my top twenty-five running backs for fantasy football this season. Just like the last few years, the running backs have been hard to get a good one after the first few rounds. Unless you have great luck or you’re good at finding the players with a lot of upsides.

I like to draft a running back in the first two rounds. But this year there are more running backs that were top guys in years past that are going to fall, and some guys that are going into their second year that will have a bigger role going forward.

Let’s get into the running back rankings.

  1. Jonathan Taylor, Colts
  2. Derrick Henry, Titans
  3. Najee Harris, Steelers
  4. Austin Ekeler, Chargers
  5. Leonard Fournette, Buccaneers
  6. Nick Chubb, Browns
  7. Christian McCaffery, Panthers
  8. Dalvin Cook, Vikings
  9. Aaron Jones, Packers
  10. Alvin Kamara, Saints
  11. Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys
  12. Joe Mixon, Bengals
  13. James Conner, Cardinals
  14. Josh Jacobs, Raiders
  15. D’Andre Swift, Lions
  16. Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons
  17. Tony Pollard, Cowboys
  18. Saquon Barkley, Giants
  19. Darrell Henderson, Rams
  20. James Robinson, Jaguars
  21. Javonte Williams, Broncos
  22. AJ Dillon, Packers
  23. Damien Harris, Patriots
