As we get deeper into the offseason, it's time for a dynasty running back rankings update. Voluntary minicamps have wrapped up, and training camps are quickly approaching. Running back is the most volatile position in dynasty football: depth chart battles, injury histories, and age curves all factor in more heavily here than anywhere else. These players are listed in order of my rankings, which differ from those of the rest of our Footballguys staffers.

Dynasty Running Back Rankings

Next to each player's name are the Footballguys rankings, followed by a "+/-" indicating how much disagreement there is between my personal ranking and our staff's consensus. For players with significant dissension, I've added thoughts.

The Top 18

  1. Jahmyr Gibbs, DET, Age 24 (FBG Rank: 2) +1
  2. Bijan Robinson, ATL, Age 24 (FBG Rank: 1) -1
  3. Ashton Jeanty, LV, Age 22 (FBG Rank: 3)
  4. Jeremiyah Love, ARI, Age 21 (FBG Rank: 5) +1
  5. Omarion Hampton, LAC, Age 23 (FBG Rank: 6) +1
  6. De'Von Achane, MIA, Age 24 (FBG Rank: 4) -2
  7. James Cook III, BUF, Age 26 (FBG Rank: 8) +1
  8. Jonathan Taylor, IND, Age 27 (FBG Rank: 7) -1
  9. Breece Hall, NYJ, Age 25 (FBG Rank: 10) +1
  10. TreVeyon Henderson, NE, Age 23 (FBG Rank: 13) +3
  11. Quinshon Judkins, CLE, Age 22 (FBG Rank: 12) +1
  12. Ken Walker III, KC, Age 25 (FBG Rank: 9) -3 — Walker's big-play upside is undeniable, but he'll have to prove that he can be a three-down back who plays on passing downs before I can rank him alongside other running backs who do.
  13. Kyren Williams, LAR, Age 25 (FBG Rank: 14) +1
  14. Chase Brown, CIN, Age 26 (FBG Rank: 11) -3 — Brown has been undeniably productive through the early part of his career, but much of that comes from his offensive environment. On an expiring deal, an extension with the Bengals is imperative to insulate his value.
  15. Bucky Irving, TB, Age 23 (FBG Rank: 17) +2
  16. Jadarian Price, SEA, Age 22 (FBG Rank: 20) +4 — I have some concerns about Price's ability to handle a three-down workload, but Round 1 draft capital shouldn't be ignored. The job should be his to lose as he starts his career.
  17. Cam Skattebo, NYG, Age 24 (FBG Rank: 19) +2
  18. Christian McCaffrey, SF, Age 30 (FBG Rank: 15) -3 — Reserved for contenders, McCaffrey might still have some in the tank. But it's hard to rank him ahead of younger guys who could appreciate in value.
