Football
No position in fantasy football is more important than the running backs. A league-winning running back is the most valuable piece in the game. However, it is also one of the most volatile positions whether it be to injury, age, or some other varying circumstance. These full running back rankings will help you avoid busts, identify sleepers, and dominate your league.
RB1s
These are your top stars. Every player in this section has the upside to fight for an RB1 overall finish. While we are here, we might as well address the elephant in the room. Yes, I have CMC as the RB12. He is a 30-year-old injury prone running back coming off both the biggest workload of his career, and one of his least efficient seasons on the ground. The upside is there, but the risk is too great for me.
