Fantasy Football Rankings: RBs – 21-40

Najee Harris, RB, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Najee Harris is considered a first-round bust, yet has rushed for 1,000-plus yards in all three of his NFL seasons. His receptions have decreased every year, however. Update: Harris has undergone a new training regimen, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His goal is to lose weight for the 2024 season. Harris’ stock was already on the rise with Pittsburgh using two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft to address the offensive line.

David Montgomery, RB, Lions. Bye: 5.

David Montgomery was Detroit’s lead back last year, but that’s bound to change soon with Jahmyr Gbbs having more experience.

Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos. Bye: 14.

Javonte Williams once again handled most of the first-team reps. He picked up eight yards on his second carry and eventually caught a receiving touchdown. He looks as energized as he was prior to his ACL tear, so it’s difficult to fathom why he was in Sean Payton’s dog house earlier in the summer.

Raheem Mostert, RB, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Raheem Mostert is coming off his first 1,000-yard season and will continue to have many opportunities. However, he’s now 32, so there could be some regression, especially in the touchdown department.

Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Jaylen Warren practiced Monday and is on track to play in Week 1. There was concern that Warren would miss time, but that is apparently no longer the case.

Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots. Bye: 14.

Rhamondre Stevenson saw his yards-per-carry average plummet last year, and he also missed the final five games with an ankle injury. With Bill Belichick gone, there’s no telling what will happen to Stevenson.

Zamir White, RB, Raiders. Bye: 10.

Zamir White looked good down the stretch when Josh Jacobs was injured. He might be the Raiders’ starting running back in 2024.

Devin Singletary, RB, Giants. Bye: 11.

Devin Singletary shockingly took over for Dameon Pierce last season. Singletary was impressive, but we’ll see how he does with worse blocking on the Giants.

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers. Bye: 11.

Chuba Hubbard stole the starting running back job from Miles Sanders last year. Unfortunately for Hubbard, the Panthers used a second-round pick on Jonathon Brooks.

Jerome Ford, RB, Browns. Bye: 10.

Jerome Ford did a solid job replacing Nick Chubb last year, but with Chubb due back, there’s no reason to consider Ford.

D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears. Bye: 7.

D’Andre Swift somehow didn’t miss any time last year with injuries. He was able to rush for more than 1,000 yards as a result. He probably won’t be so lucky in 2024.

Brian Robinson, RB, Redskins. Bye: 14.

Brian Robinson saw his receptions total rise last year, but that will be a thing of the past with Austin Ekeler on the roster.

Zack Moss, RB, Bengals. Bye: 12.

It was shocking to see Zack Moss perform so well last year in relief of Jonathan Taylor. Moss will have a chance to have the job all to himself in Cincinnati.

Austin Ekeler, RB, Redskins. Bye: 14.

Austin Ekeler looked cooked last year, but there’s evidence he was playing hurt. Ekeler was electric in Week 1, but was never the same upon returning from his injury. Ekeler could rebound in 2024, but he’s not guaranteed a full-time role in Washington.

Chase Brown, RB, Bengals. Bye: 12.

Chase Brown has taken the majority of reps at running back with the first-team offense in training camp thus far. Zack Moss was signed, but Brown is going to have a legitimate chance to win the starting job. Moss and Brown could end up splitting touches.

Rico Dowdle, RB, Cowboys. Bye: 7.

Royce Freeman could be Dallas’ No. 2 running back, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. While Jones doesn’t have final say in these matters, it’s still discouraging to hear that Rico Dowdle may not have that role.

Ray Davis, RB, Bills. Bye: 12.

There isn’t much behind James Cook on Buffalo’s roster, so he’ll have opportunities as a rookie to complement Cook.

JK Dobbins, RB, Chargers. Bye: 5.

JK Dobbins is coming off a torn Achilles. He should be 100 percent to start 2024, but his injury history is a huge concern.

Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans. Bye: 5.

Tyjae Spears was impressive as a rookie while sharing the workload with Derrick Henry. His stock was pointing way up before the Titans signed Tony Pollard.

Blake Corum, RB, Rams. Bye: 6.

It’s a shame that Blake Corum will be irrelevant unless Kyren Williams gets injured. If last year was any indication, however, Corum will have some opportunities when Williams is hurt.
