Rank | Up/Dn | Name | Team | BYE | FUM | RushAT | RushYds | RushTDs | Recept | RecYds | RecTDs | FantPnts | Comments |
1 | Christian McCaffrey | SF | 9 | 0 | 265 | 1400 | 12 | 69 | 590 | 6 | 307 | CMC still rules the roost for fantasy RBs. Yes, he is getting older, but he is in a system that maximizes his talents to their full capacity. |
|
2 | Bijan Robinson | ATL | 12 | 3 | 258 | 1200 | 8 | 62 | 550 | 3 | 241 | Robinson was misused so badly in 2023, but still finished as a top 10 fantasy RB. The new coaches know his worth and plan to use him like CMC, so that will vault him into the top 3 fantasy RBs in 2024! |
|
3 | Breece Hall | NYJ | 12 | 1 | 228 | 1090 | 9 | 71 | 580 | 3 | 239 | Hall played all of 2023 without a real NFL QB and still finished in the top 10 RBs for fantasy. Assuming Rodgers stays healthy, his talent makes him a lock to be a top 3 fantasy RB in 2024. |
|
4 | Derrick Henry | BAL | 14 | 0 | 288 | 1250 | 13 | 28 | 210 | 1 | 230 | Henry is still a top 10 talent at RB and he moves to a team with one of the best OLs in the league. Yes, he is finally turning 30, but that does not mean he will not produce more consistently as a Raven. He gets a boost in our rankings, after a second look, since he will be a clear workhorse. |
|
5 | Jonathan Taylor | IND | 14 | 2 | 307 | 1310 | 10 | 41 | 250 | 2 | 228 | J.T. is the forgotten man these days! He is still young and now that he is healthy, he will reclaim fantasy STUD RB status in 2024! |
|
6 | Jahmyr Gibbs | DET | 5 | 2 | 213 | 1030 | 10 | 49 | 390 | 2 | 214 | Gibbs has great talent, especially in the passing game, and the Lions want to give him more touches in 2024, which makes him a lock to be a top 10 fantasy RB. |
|
7 | Saquon Barkley | PHI | 5 | 2 | 286 | 1210 | 8 | 46 | 320 | 2 | 213 | Barkley took the money and went with the Eagles. He will no doubt raise their running game, but he will lose out to the tush-push near the goal in most situations. Still, he should produce just as well or even better as an Eagle in 2024. |
|
8 | Travis Etienne | JAX | 12 | 1 | 247 | 1040 | 9 | 51 | 410 | 1 | 205 | Etienne tore it up in the first half of 2023, but was used less as the season progressed. Look for a more even 2024 campaign, but one that does not necessarily mean less points for fantasy! |
|
9 | Kyren Williams | LAR | 6 | 2 | 238 | 1100 | 10 | 33 | 220 | 2 | 204 | Williams burst through as the new starter for the Rams in 2023. They used him all over the place, especially near the goal and in the passing game. The only concern here is the fact that rookie Corum could steal too many touches and TDs from him in a 1-2 punch situation. Williams slides since he will be returning punts, likely limiting his touches on offense just a tad. |
|
10 | - | Isiah Pacheco | KC | 6 | 2 | 238 | 1050 | 9 | 43 | 320 | 2 | 203 | Pacheco really took his game to a new level later in 2023. As a result, he should produce lower RB1 numbers for his fantasy owners in 2024, since he is now a 3-down RB. That said, the signing of Perine takes some catches away to lower his projections. |
