1.) Christian McCaffrey (SF) – As long as he avoids the Madden curse, he should repeat what he’s been doing when he’s healthy in the best offense. Tds may come down a little, but won’t affect him too much with everything else he does.

2.) Breece Hall (NYJ) – To me has a chance to be the top RB in fantasy at the end of the season. Has an upgrade in offense as long as Rodgers stays healthy. Still had a great year with bad QB play.

3.) Bijan Robinson (ATL) – Found a way to be relevant with a terrible coach for his fantasy upside. Better QB play and new coach could be the year he breaks out and has outside shot of being top RB overall.

4.) Jonathan Taylor (IND) – As long as he stays healthy he’s in a run first offense with a QB that will open up more running lanes for him. Last half of the season he looked like his old self. Could be in for a big bounce back year with little to no competition behind him.

5.) Saquon Barkley (PHI) – Should be a top 5 RB every year if it wasn’t for the terrible offense he has been stuck on. Now he is on a top level offense that loves to run the ball. Only thing that could hurt him at times is Jalen Hurts taking some of his goal line scores away. People forget Daniel Jones had a rep for doing that in New York as well.

6.) Travis Etienne (JAC) – Was a top 3 RB for most of the season last year. Offense sputtered a lot last season and I see T Law and the rest of the offense having a better season this year. No real competition for Etienne at his position should have a work horse role again.

7.) Derrick Henry (BAL) – As long as he stays healthy he is in a run first offense with a running QB. Outside of Lamar taking some scores and yards away Henry should be in for a role where he could easily produce double digit TDs.

8.) Isiah Pacheco (KC) – Took a big step forward last season. Offense is improved this year in the WR department and should give Pacheco even more opportunities to score and be in the red zone this season.

9.) Kyren Williams (LAR) – Had a big season last year even with missing a handful of games. Should be solid again this year if he can stay healthy for the whole season. Adding Blake Corum scares me a little. He should eat into the workload of Williams more than his competition last year did.

10.) Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) – Talent is through the roof, and he showed his explosiveness last season. He would easily be a top 5 guy for me if Montgomery wasn’t there taking carries and red zone scoring opportunities away from him.

11.) Joe Mixon (HOU) – We saw what Devin Singletary did with this offense last year and Mixon is a way better talent at RB. Only thing holding him back from the top 10 is how many weapons there are in that offense this season.

12.) Kenneth Walker (SEA) – Every down back most of last season and I don’t see that changing much this season. Even with Charbonnet, he didn’t prove himself as productive last season in a way that he will take too much away from Walker.

13.) James Cook (BUF) – I really like Cook this year, I didn’t last year and he wound up doing better than I thought he would. They lost some offense at the WR position this season and I could see Cook being leaned on even more especially in the passing game.

14.) Rachaad White (TB) – Huge year last year and no added competition for the most part this year. I expect him to repeat last year as long as Baker is able to perform to the same level again.

15.) De’Von Achane (MIA) – Super explosive and big play capable. Would be a top 5 RB if he was the only RB getting touches. Mostert could still have a solid season and using both backs limits total fantasy upside.

16.) Alvin Kamara (NO) – Running behind a bad offensive line hurt his ypc last season. Being able to catch as many passes as he did helped his fantasy value. This season should be similar, but Miller could eat into some of his workload more this season than last.

17.) Josh Jacobs (GB) – Getting up there in age and wear and tear. But he is in a good offense and as long as he can stay healthy unlike Jones did last season, he should put up solid numbers.

18.) Rhamondre Stevenson (NE) – Caught a ton of passes and got a lot of touches. Still in a bad offense, but can’t be as bad as they were last season. Should be able to put up similar numbers to last year.

19.) Aaron Jones (MIN) – As long as he can stay healthy he is an absolute upgrade for the Vikings. In an offense where they will need to run the ball and have a rookie QB or backup leading the offense this year, lots of check down possibilities for Jones.

20.) James Connor (ARI) – Had a really good year down the stretch. Was hurt for part of the season otherwise would have finished even higher. Offense got better this season, only downside was adding Benson that may take away some touches.

21.) David Montgomery (DET) – Will depend on how many touches he gets vs Gibbs this season. I think he gets fewer touches, but will vulture TDs and red zone opportunities.

22.) Najee Harris (PIT) – Should have better QB play than last season. Both Harris and Warren were successful as a split backfield. As long as split stays the same, Harris should be able to repeat last season.

23.) Zamir White (LV) – Came on strong end of last season when Jacobs went down. Has little competition besides washed up Mattison. The risk to me is how he handles an every down role for the entirety of a season.

24.) D’andre Swift (CHI) – Too many scoring options in this offense and the Bears seem to like Roschon a lot. Should be able to have some good weeks, but don’t see the consistency being there for Swift. Too many mouths to feed with a rookie QB who may look to run as well.

25.) Raheem Mostert (MIA) – No chance he repeats last season with the emergence of Achane. With how well Mostert played it’s hard for me to think they completely phase him out of the touches. If he is TD producer has some upside again late rounds.

26.) Jaylen Warren (PIT) – I don’t have him ranked above Harris, but could easily see him out producing Harris. He seems to get more and more touches every season he’s been there. He’s more versatile and explosive than Harris.

27.) Tony Pollard (TEN) – Down year last year and proved he wasn’t able to take on that every down work horse role. Spears has been solid for Titans even with Henry there. I don’t see them going away from Spears splitting that backfield.

28.) Javonte Williams (DEN) – Who knows what this offense will look like with Bo Nix and loss of Jeudy. Could be a split backfield like it was last season as well. If Javonte was to get majority of carries he could finish top 20 RB.

29.) Brian Robinson Jr. (WAS) – Tough offense to predict as well. Jayden Daniels could vulture a lot of the rushing in this offense. Ekeler is old and washed up, but could split more than people think if he shows and productivity.

30.) Devin Singletary (NYG) – Showed what he could do as the lead RB last season with the Texans. However, that offense was a lot better than the one he is with this year.

31.) Zach Moss (CIN) – Was very productive when JT was out for the Colts. He is on a good offense, but I see Brown being a 50/50 split in the backfield with him.

32.) Nick Chubb (CLE) – Getting older and bad injuries to his knees more than once. Doesn’t look good for him, but if somehow he comes back healthy and looking even somewhat like he has. Could be a steal in the late rounds.

33.) Tyjae Spears (TEN)

34.) Austin Ekeler (WAS)

35.) Jonathon Brooks (CAR)

36.) Ezekiel Elliott (DAL)

37.) Chase Brown (CIN)

38.) Gus Edwards (LAC)

51.) Marshawn Lloyd (GB)

52.) Roschon Johnson (CHI)
