Complete 2024 Fantasy Football RB Rankings (Top 36)

[@GoldenHordeSC]

I have been watching you for five plus years now. You are hands down the best draft and waiver analyzer on KZbin. You back your projections with real historical data and custom model analysis. Your FFA channel is the foundation for me every season and has translated to top 3 finishes in five of my past six season. Thank you for all the work you do!

[@RickMartinez-r2d]

Zylack for Vids and rankings. Matt Kelley for long form podcasting, and Evan Silva for overall analysis… This combination has won me multiple Championships over the last 5 years in various leagues.

[@htsjohnnyo1]

Agree. I just like hearing his take. I'm in a non PPR, so I have to skew what I hear somewhat, but he's always on with his analysis breakdown, regardless of format.

[@gues26]

100% agree...I've been following Nick since the year he pumped up Lamar prior to his first MVP season. I drafted him in the late rounds and won a pretty competitive league...I had an UNDEFEATED season the next year using Nick as my main source for the draft.

[@mgonzalez8281]

Austin Eckler being in the last tier is wild...warranted somewhat, but wild. I remember when he was the 1st overall pick. Life comes at you fast...

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

@@mgonzalez8281 what’s wild is that I’m also ahead of the field in ranking him that high. Most wouldn’t have even included him

[@N8_Dogg]

He was a top 6 pick just last season.

[@Valantis12345]

Outstanding analysis. Very entertaining. I have been watching you for 4 years and find you to be so informative. Thank you for your hard work sir.

[@jakelyon23]

Great Stuff, can you please do a video comparing Chase Jjetts and Amon Ra?

[@donaldadams3301]

Interesting to see Monty that much further up the board than Mostert. Similar role, both high scoring offense. Mostert just had an RB2 overall finish. I feel like Mostert is a guy being underrated consistently

[@andrewmarchese2052]

His disrespect for Mostert in this episode was crazy. Calling him 40 years old and forgetting he was the RB2!!! Had 241 opportunities last year and 21 TDs. Those numbers will come down but Miami still gonna use him plenty

[@donaldadams3301]

@@andrewmarchese2052 I definitely understand the idea of projecting TD regression for Mostert. That being said, the Dolphins are likely just going to run it back this year. Mostert got a new contract which shows the team is invested in him.

[@astrahl]

Mostert that low is nuts. He was lightning in a bottle. Even if he’s clearly behind Achane he’s still getting a lot of Carries

[@porfiriato84]

​@@astrahlall you guys are forgetting that mostert is 32! Doesn't matter what he did last season, 32 for a RB is basically 40.

[@JS-it3dx]

Mostert is being criminally underrated. What has changed? He’s not going to get 20 TDs again, but he’s still very talented and going to keep his role in this offense.

[@TheDontwantachannel]

I agree. I heard someone say he was injured 7/10 seassons which is enough for me to stay away a bit. Id just rather stab at pollard or najee in that range. I dont understand how Kyren is so undervalued. Literally RB2 on the season and nothing has changed (u got me fucked up if you think a rookie is going to take over mccaffery level of production)

[@JS-it3dx]

@@TheDontwantachannel With you on kyren too. I think he should be a top 15 pick.

[@Loganbub]

@@TheDontwantachannelKyren is confusing, I feel like we’ve seen this play out before many times with later drafted RB’s and certainly RB’s on the rams where they capture magic for a year than severely disappoint come the next season where you wish you didn’t draft them at all. I could be dead wrong and Kyren interests me but not until 2/4 turn area which he rarely makes it there.

[@matthewdennis1739]

Honestly, he's going to get hurt and miss time. But where he's at he's worth taking and getting 6 good weeks and figuring it out later.

[@thomasp.8859]

​@@Loganbub kyren has unathletic measurables, Blake is no joke and sunk pretty high draft capital for him at today's rb standards. McVay has no problem switching rbs real quick either

[@MegaMonk1992]

Love your content Nick, thanks. I'm curious ... you said it helps quick shifty backs like gibbs to play indoors..... why?

[@cameronzwicke5761]

I'm staying away from Achane, he was great in individual games but not consistent at all. He's a trap, he will give you 6 games over 30 points but 10 games with 10 or less . Edit: more like 3 games over 30 but you get the point.

[@johnjacobs3601]

Very volatile, I agree

[@Loganbub]

6 games over 30 points is insane and would make him worth the ADP he’s at easily. The issue is it’s more like he’ll have 1 or 2 over 30, 2-3 over 20 mixed in with a bunch of single digit games and some in between plus his potential Injuries.

[@Angelo-uo2gj]

Great video. Any concerns about Jacob’s being part of a committee in GB?

[@Thoughtpologetics]

I’m just trying to help you out… but this will be the last time I say anything, because these rankings are you talking yourself into the mainstream rankings… Henry never ran out of the gun, that’s all the ravens do, coach Harbaugh expressed concern about this even… The ravens are replacing 3 lineman with a rookie, a second year guy and a dude who is on no one’s radar, this line has been drastically downgraded… Finally, he’s 30, not a lot of tread on the tires, and had career lows in yards per carry and yards after broken tackle last year… This is not a situation set up for success… I got him at RB 12-13… Edward’s had 13 rushing TDs in that ravens offense and ended up RB 14…

[@TreYSlippY]

Okay so I have a question, In my 10 team fantasy league I’m drafting at the 9 spot. I know in fantasy you shouldn’t reach too much on players, but what if you reallllly like a player and it’s just someone you really want on your team? My example is I’ve always been a die hard D. Henry fan, is it too much of a reach to take him at 1-2 turn or should I wait until the third and risk him not being there? We also have a 3rd round reversal so there is definitely a better chance at getting him in the third since it starts back at the 10 guy. Just any thoughts on reaching for players if they are must haves for your team if you really believe in them and it’s somewhat of a realistic reach. Or, do you completely take out team/personal bias. Thank you.

[@josec2219]

Don’t forget fantasy should be fun. If you really like a player for what ever reason and you don’t think he will be there at the turn, just take him. Just be smart about it too. Ex) you can love Henry all you want, you can’t take him #1 overall if you’re trying to form a winning strategy, value of the pick matters. Henry late first-early second is totally fine even if it means you take him over 2-3 other higher projected running backs.

[@Pkilla80]

It's your team pick who you want to root for. You'll win with your late picks that hit and free agency. No one wins in the first 4 rounds (though you can lose lol)

[@BASykes1701]

My favorite start in recent mocks: Rd. 1: Stud WR Rd. 2: Henry Rd. 3: Achane Rds. 4-7: WR2, QB1, TE1, Best WR/RB available I don't always get it, but when I do my team shapes up very nicely.

[@stephenv3396]

another amazing video!!!

[@Jeefane]

Nick, given the Atlanta OC's recent comments about Allgeier, would you position Breece ahead of Bijan? ATL OC Zac Robinson: "Certainly, Tyler (Allgeier) is going to have a big role, and at certain points in the season we are going to be leaning on him."

[@thomasp.8859]

Love the Zamir White take. Him and Rashad White great mid - late picks

[@JayRozay313]

If I have a late pick, I will take WR, then go Mahomes and Pacheco, so no matter if they run or pass I capture all the TD

[@thebenmiller]

How would you feel about taking Pacheco at 14? I've got the 11th pick and I want to start with 2 RBs, so probably Taylor and Pacheco. Also considering Henry and Achane. The 11th pick is really rough so I'm gonna play boom or bust

[@bespushkule3136]

Barring any injuries, Hall will be the number UNO…I think CMC will get less carries to keep him safe.

[@naptown9672]

Yeah, they keep saying that. But when they are trying to win games, he's getting the ball. And he can still be #1 with fewer carries.

[@snicker_bars5852]

Sitting at the 11 spot in 12-man PPR. 2rb2wr1flx. In mock drafts, I’ve been taking G Wilson at that 1.11(if he’s there) and then taking which ever of these 2nd tier guys is available at the 2.02. Is that the right play? I feel way more confident about the “left over” RB at the 2.02 than the tier drop off of WRs at that spot (sometimes it’s as far down as Drake London)

[@aleclivermont1297]

I’m doing the same thing in my draft. I think it’s a great way to start.

[@jace3254]

I prefer to double dip at RB, hoping to snag 2 of taylor, saquon, or Gibbs. That way I have 2 elite RBs and I can focus on WR in the later rounds, picking up a Mike Evans, DK, Nico, etc as my core WRs.

[@aleclivermont1297]

@@jace3254 I don’t hate that either. Depends on your league I for me, on if any of that that next tier of RBs are available at the 3-4 turn

[@snicker_bars5852]

@@jace3254 I don’t mind the double RB hero build either. The problem I tend to run into is my confidence in being able to catch up on the WRs in round 3-7. I tend to gravitate to the balanced build early, and leaving myself open to whichever options fall to me after. I should run some more mock drafts with the 2 RBs at 1.11 and 2.02.

[@blakegardner962]

Who should I keep from my team last year, Kyren Williams or puka. Puka will be very good like last year. Kyren will too but I’m nervous because of Blake corum

[@hansklostermann117]

Conner is undervalued every year. He’s a super cheap RB2

[@brockbowen2806]

am i crazy for going etienne over kyren? i think corum will have a role and etienne will have a similar role to his huge volume season last year. i think the upside is there for both but tbh kyren has much lower floor

[@Loganbub]

It’s not crazy to take Bijan over Breece but I just don’t understand anyone who does. I know Bijan is the higher touted prospect but Breeec just looks to be on another level and more well rounded.

[@teddybounthavy1]

I’m in a 12 team half ppr league 1 keeper. Bijan Robinson 1st round Breece hall 3rd round Sam Laporta 14th who should I keep?

[@MonsieurGrenouille]

breece

[@TFFForecast]

Probably Breece but Sam is tempting

[@Pkilla80]

Achane (probably) didnt get more touches last season and everyone knew the numbers. I think Mostart is a great later value but Achane is a high risk/ high reward type. I drafted Achane last season and he wasn't the league winner everyone thinks. He was hurt a lot and not trusted to lead the offense

[@g-my-t2199]

I hope JT is taking receipts on the disrespect of his name. He should be in everyone's top tier. Ill take him at an early to mid second discount all day over the WRs available there.

[@porfiriato84]

That C tier is looking rough! Hard to see any decent upside in any of the 10 guys there. Only way to get decent value is if other RBs on their team get injured. This is why i truly believe drafting a top 6 RB in the first round is necessary. Otherwise you'll have to heavily rely on ur receiver's.

[@johnjacobs3601]

Shows how much of a casual you are. I'm going back through, checking these preseason takes and look who made another dumb comment; you. How embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Complete novice! Hahahahaha L-

[@Brandon_Lambert]

Either Zeke or Rico will be somewhat solid. Someone has to step up this year for Dallas at RB.

[@J.O.A.T.s]

I'll take the Youth this season. I'm going with Bijan

[@htsjohnnyo1]

Cousins, Bijan, Drake love that fantasy offense

[@mt_2330]

Allgeier doesn’t scare you away at all on Bijan..? Drafted Bijan last year and got hosed bc of TA taking reps..

[@TyG22]

Let’s not sleep on Chubb if Brooks is in D tier, elite playoff upside

[@aleclivermont1297]

Are you worried at all with the ravens o-line downgrading?

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

@@aleclivermont1297 not really. Game script matters a lot more than o line. I’d be worried if they had the worst in the league, but their system and players are good enough where it shouldn’t matter that much. I like him because he has 20 TD upside. Not too concerned if his Y/C is 4.2 instead of 4.4

[@kingrex1931]

I'd take Derrick Henry over Saquon Barkley. Barkley isn't the same RB that he was in his first two years. The Eagles don't throw to RBs and Hurts is going to vulture TDs. I also can't fathom how Singletary is E tier because he is in a bad offense but Rhamondre is C tier in an even worse offense, plus Rhamondre actually has competition in the backfield.

[@astrahl]

Montgomery could easily score 15 TDs and be a top 10 back. Love your content but your highly undervaluing how good the lions offense is, game script is and offensive line is.

[@Thoughtpologetics]

I like Zamire white more than RB 23… improved line and he’s the only guy there, and we know they are going to pound that rock relentlessly… Unlike Walker who is splitting 1st team reps with Zach Charbonett, Montgomery is also going to concede a bit of carries to Gibbs and Naji Harris has Warren getting more work, you even said they’ll get the same workload… I mean, Z Whites situation is soooo good, I see him as top 20, maybe right at that 20 spot

[@Brandon-r4f4o]

Are you not worried about JTs receiving? For some reason I would put Pacheco in tier A. Elite o line, top 5 in offense, no McKinnon, Pacheco could back into catching 60+ balls.

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

@@Brandon-r4f4o receiving is an issue, but he’s set up to lead the league in rushing so that should make up for it

[@Brandon-r4f4o]

@@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA what about full PPR? I think I would rather have the receiving floor of Pacheco which I think is 50 catches.

[@gardockis.playground]

The only running back that could surpass Taylor this year is CMC.. however there is already drama in SF🤷

[@johnjacobs3601]

Taylor?. A rushing QB caps his goal line upside and limits his receiving upside since AR will tuck it and run before dumping it off. He's top 10 for sure, but #1 overall? That's a massive stretch imo

[@gardockis.playground]

@@johnjacobs3601 that’s a novice take… Rushing qbs typically elevates the running backs YPC and YAC… Richardson, Top 3 oline and the best RPO HC in the NFL… this was free info… next one will cost you✌️

[@porfiriato84]

What drama in SF is affecting the RB room? Do you even know what you're saying?

[@gardockis.playground]

@@porfiriato84 did I say drama is affecting the RB room or maybe you read my comment wrong..

[@paulfoster7608]

I'm not arguing about breece hall being a top- tier back. But, I'm not at all convinced that Rodgers will be 100%.

[@jeremynitta1449]

I kinda think that might help Breece. If Rodgers is washed, there’s a chance imo that he might check it down a lot more than going through progressions and attacking downfield

[@woweeeeeeeeeeeeee]

I don't think he needs to be. Zach Wilson is as bad as it gets

[@mattbragg3082]

This ppr?

[@Thoughtpologetics]

Chase brown has been taking the majority of the first team reps over moss
