Dynasty Rankings: Top 75 RBs

 


We're nearing the start of Training Camp and the 2023 NFL Season. As we do, I'm revisiting my Dynasty Rankings. Today I continue with my Top 75 RBs.

RBs:
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: McCaffrey is a beast. He literally scored a rushing, receiving and passing touchdown in a game last year. He remains my No. 1.
2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: If you had the 1.01 this year, you got a good one.
3. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts: Taylor remains a three-down stud. I think he'll have a strong season.
4. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall was off to a hot start before injury as a rookie, he remains a Top 5 bet for me.
5. Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers: Harris has been productive and a workhorse over his two years. I see that continuing.
6. Saquon Barkley, New York Giants: Saquon showed us last year he's still a beast.
7. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: I love Gibbs' potential in a good young offense.
8. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns: A gifted pure runner, Chubb is an under-rated player.
9. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers: This could be his last year with the Chargers but he's been the RB1 in fantasy two years in a row. He's got a few good years left.
10. Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots. Rhamondre showed he's a talented three-down back last year. I'm excited to see where he goes from here.
11. Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys: It's Pollard's time to shine in Dallas and I think he will.
12. Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders: Off a career year and on a franchise tag, I still believe in Jacobs.

13. Javonte Williams, Denver Broncos
14. J.K. Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens
15. Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks
16. Travis Eteinne, Jacksonville Jaguars
17. D'Andre Swift, Philadelphia Eagles
18. Miles Sanders, Carolina Panthers
19. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals
20. Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings
21. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
22. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers
23. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
24. David Montgomery, Detroit Lions
About: This range has some explosive talent. Some of the younger backs could rise. I have them here because of injury questions or increased competition. The bottom group are veterans who still have some life left in their careers.

25. Jamaal Williams, New Orleans Saints
26. Isaih Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs
27. Dameon Pierce, Houston Texans
28. Brian Robinson, Jr., Washington Commanders
29. A.J. Dillon, Green Bay Packers
30. Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks
31. Khalil Herbert, Chicago Bears
32. Cam Akers, Los Angeles Rams
33. James Cook, Buffalo Bills
34. Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars
35. Antonio Gibson, Washington Commanders
36. Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
About: The RB3 range features some young backs with questions and some veterans who could still have a role. There's potential here but not without some risk.

37. James Conner, Arizona Cardinals
38. Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings
39. Rashaad Penny, Philadelphia Eagles
40. Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons
41. Elijah Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers
42. Kendre Miller, New Orleans Saints
43. Jeffrey Wilson, Miami Dolphins
44. De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins
45. Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers
46. Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears
47. Kenneth Gainwell, Philadelphia Eagles
48. Damien Harris, Buffalo Bills
49. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
50. Michael Carter, New York Jets
About: Running backs have gotten deeper because more teams run committees. This range has some players with upside, some of which will become incredibly valuable if a starter is injured.

51. Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens
52. Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins
53. Chase Edmonds, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
54. Zach Moss, Indianapolis Colts
55. Devin Singletary, Houston Texans
56. Ezekiel Elliott, Free Agent
57. Kareem Hunt, Free Agent
58. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs
59. Jerome Ford, Cleveland Browns
60. Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans
61. Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals
62. Cordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons
63. Zonovan Knight, New York Jets
64. Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
65. Zach Evans, Los Angeles Rams
66. James Robinson, New England Patriots
67. Eric Gray, New York Giants
68. DeWayne McBride, Minnesota Vikings
69. Isaiah Spiller, Los Angeles Chargers
70. Leonard Fournette, Free Agent
71. Boston Scott, Philadelphia Eagles
72. Deuce Vaughn, Dallas Cowboys
73. Matt Breida, New York Giants
74. Ronald Jones II, Dallas Cowboys
75. Sean Tucker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
About: This group is a set of players that should all be rostered but we can't be sure if they'll have any role this season. At a minimum, none of them are guaranteed starts given their situation.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
