November signifies the end of the fantasy football regular season, and it usually allows rookies who have acclimated to shine with fresh legs. Multiple early-season disappointments have started to come on strong. We asked Dynasty staffers Corey Spala, Josh Fahlsing, Jeff Blaylock, Mike Kashuba, and Hutchinson Brown for their biggest movers in their rankings.

Dynasty Movement at Running Back

TreVeyon Henderson, New England

Kashuba: All it took was a Final Destination level of injuries to happen to the running back room before Henderson got the majority of touches, but it finally happened. There's a world where the coaching staff tries to put the genie back in the bottle once Rhamondre Stevenson is healthy, but it's more likely this becomes a healthy split with a receiving floor for Henderson. He showed the homerun ability we all knew was in there, and the split for the rest of the season will greatly impact optimism for him heading into 2026. 

Spala: Henderson has three straight games over 10 carries and has seen at least 15 opportunities (carries/targets) in his last two. An essential factor is that he allowed zero pressures in pass protection and had a 79.6 pass block grade the previous week. He certainly had high expectations to start the season, and with the disappointing early season, he created worry. Henderson should continue to be an essential part of the offense with Rhamondre Stevenson limited. Henderson, hopefully, has shown coaches his worth and value to the offense. I am confident in his long-term outlook and have cemented him as RB12.

Zacharias: Through the first eight games of the season, the Patriots' running back room was a timeshare between Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Each led the Patriots in running back PPR scoring four times. Then Stevenson suffered a toe injury, and Henderson seized the opportunity, putting up his best two games of the season in Weeks 9 and 10. Henderson was the overall RB7 in that timeframe. That's a pretty big genie to put back in the bottle. Henderson is four years younger than Stevenson. He should get every opportunity to grow his percentage of backfield touches in the weeks ahead. He moves up four spots in my dynasty running back rankings, overtaking Alvin Kamara, Tony Pollard, Bhayshul Tuten, and Woody Marks.

Kyle Monangai, Chicago

Kashuba: Monangai's strongest supporters think he's going to take D'Andre Swift's job. His haters think he was only good because Swift and Roschon Johnson missed time the same week they played the Bengals. Reality is in between, as Johnson had no injury designation Sunday and Monangai was still the clear RB2. That's a fantastic sign for his dynasty value, as a cost-controlled RB2 is something teams like to keep around. I've moved him from the murky backup range to RB41, the range for backups with upside.

Blaylock: He demonstrated he can succeed as the featured back, and he plays for a coach whose prior offenses have produced two RB2-level or higher RBs each of the past three seasons. In that model, Monangai would be the David Montgomery to D'Andre Swift's Jahmyr Gibbs. Yes, 40 percent of his total yards have come while Swift was inactive, against the league's worst defense. Nonetheless, I've seen enough to value his potential and opportunity on a potent offense to place him into the RB3 discussion. I've moved him up to RB36 from RB47.

Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia

Fahlsing: I chose AJ Brown as my dynasty sell earlier, but I swear I'm not picking on the Eagles. I think these choices are more an indication of where they are as an offense - firmly in the midst of a Super Bowl window. I'm a contender with Barkley, so I'm happy to hang onto him until either I'm not or he's all used up as a fantasy asset, whichever comes first. At age 28, he is the only running back over 26 in our consensus top 10. Some of this is speculative, as I probably won't bump him down further until my first dynasty ranks of the offseason, but those aren't far away at this point, and he is only losing tread off his tires every week.

RJ Harvey, Denver

Fahlsing: It isn't unusual for rookie running backs to have to wait until the second half of the season to announce themselves, but Harvey seems poised to get an opportunity to grab the mic in Denver. JK Dobbins injured his foot, and though he has avoided injured reserve to this point, that designation remains a possibility as he seeks a second opinion. We currently have Harvey all the way down at 18th in our consensus rankings. If he shows out over the next 8 weeks or so, he could very easily be closer to the top 10 when the dynasty offseason begins.

David Montgomery, Detroit

Brown: It seems that the Jahmyr Gibbs takeover is upon us. What we've seen from Montgomery this year is slightly disappointing. He currently has three games with 40%+ snap share, and six games with less than 12+ PPR points. He is splitting with Jahmyr Gibbs as a runner, with Gibbs taking the lead (128-104), and barely receiving targets, making him a very shaky start in fantasy on a week-to-week basis.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington

Brown: It is really not looking good for the Croskey-Merritt truthers at this point. He's in a split backfield and hasn't been playing very effectively. With Jayden Daniels now hurt and expected to miss some games again, it's hard to want very many pieces of this offense until Daniels does return.

Blaylock: The running back carousel in Washington may have a new favorite horse in Chris Rodriguez Jr., who was named a captain for the Week 10 game against Detroit. He started the game but left in the second half with a shoulder injury. Croskey-Merritt recorded 9 of his 11 carries in that half. Since Week 7, Croskey-Merritt is averaging 2.8 yards per carry with no touchdowns and no carries inside the 5-yard line. Those went to Rodriguez, who scored touchdowns all three times. The much-hyped seventh-rounder, who has been all over my rankings this season, settles back to RB47.

Blake Corum, LA Rams

Spala: Corum has seen more work, and it seems Sean McVay was being honest as he wanted to give him more looks alongside Kyren Williams. Corum has three straight games with at least 12 carries. It appears they alternate drives between the duo; however, Williams is on the field in those high-leverage plays, as evidenced by his 10/14 carries inside the 10-yard line over the last four weeks. Corum seems to have entered the Tyler Allgeier tier of running backs. I have moved Corum up to RB41.

Woody Marks, Houston

Zacharias: Marks isn't a classic bellcow running back, but he's proven to be a capable pass receiver out of the backfield, giving him solid PPR value. In the four weeks since Houston's Week 6 bye, the fourth-round pick out of USC ranks as the RB19 in standard PPR scoring. In terms of productivity, Marks has more than doubled the fantasy points of his backfield mate, Nick Chubb (46.4 to 20.6). It's unlikely that 29-year-old, oft-injured Joe Mixon offers any challenge to Marks' dynasty value. Marks' RB32 dynasty ranking can comfortably be raised above that of Alvin Kamara and Tony Pollard.
