Fantasy Football Rankings: RBs – 41-75

Braelon Allen, RB, Jets. Bye: 12.

Braelon Allen has been named the No. 2 running back for the Jets in their first depth chart. This is a great development for Allen, who passed another veteran on the roster. He’s a great handcuff to have for Breece Hall.

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys. Bye: 7.

Ezekiel Elliott had some nice performances for the Patriots down the stretch, but he’ll be a backup once again next year, but this time in Dallas, where he’ll have more opportunities.

Trey Benson, RB, Cardinals. Bye: 11.

Trey Benson is a talented back who could have a chance to have a big workload in 2024 if James Conner gets hurt.

Nick Chubb, RB, Browns. Bye: 10.

Nick Chubb tore his ACL and MCL last year, so I’ll have no interest in him in 2024. We’ll re-visit this situation in 2025.

Gus Edwards, RB, Chargers. Bye: 5.

Gus Edwards will share the workload with JK Dobbins on the Chargers. It’s not a great situation.

Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seahawks. Bye: 10.

Zach Charbonnet needs Kenneth Walker to suffer an injury to be relevant.

Jaylen Wright, RB, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Miami traded next year’s third-round pick for Jaylen Wright. The explosive back will be stuck in a crowded depth chart to start his career, but given what Miami traded, the coaching staff figures to have big plans for him.

Jordan Mason, RB, 49ers. Bye: 9.

With Christian McCaffrey sidelined in the final preseason game, Jordan Mason saw the entire workload with the starters. He made a diving catch that was ruled incomplete upon replay review, and he was also able to elude defenders on an 8-yard reception. Mason, who has won the No. 2 job, is worth a late-round flier because he’ll be very productive if McCaffrey’s calf injury continues to linger.

Jonathon Brooks, RB, Panthers. Bye: 11.

Jonathon Brooks is a talented running back, but he’s coming off a torn ACL, so he’s not a recommended option in 2024. He has great long-term upside, however.

Ty Chandler, RB, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Ty Chandler replaced the pedestrian Alexander Mattison and was much better, but he’ll be playing behind Aaron Jones now. On the bright side, Jones tends to get hurt often.

Jaleel McLaughlin, RB, Broncos. Bye: 14.

Jaleel McLaughlin flashed last year, but he’ll need Javonte Williams to get injured in order to be relevant.

Tyler Allgeier, RB, Falcons. Bye: 12.

Tyler Allgeier’s biggest ally, Arthur Smith, is gone. His production will take a hit.

Kimani Vidal, RB, Chargers. Bye: 5.

Kimani Vidal has some potential despite being a sixth-round pick because the Chargers don’t have much else at the position.

Roschon Johnson, RB, Bears. Bye: 7.

Roschon Johnson was impressive at times as a rookie, especially as a receiver. However, he lost any potential in the wake of the D’Andre Swift signing.

Will Shipley, RB, Eagles. Bye: 5.

Miles Sanders lost his job last year. With Jonathon Brooks added, Sanders’ situation isn’t looking very bright.

Khalil Herbert, RB, Bears. Bye: 7.

Khalil Herbert had some nice performances late in the year, but the front office didn’t seem to care because it signed D’Andre Swift.

Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants. Bye: 11.

Tyrone Tracy may become the starting running back for the Giants this season, given the lack of talent at the position.

Bucky Irving, RB, Buccaneers. Bye: 11.

The best performer in the second preseason game was Buccaneers rookie runner Bucky Irving. He saw just six carries, but picked up decent chunks of yardage on almost all of his runs. He displayed nice shiftiness and vision. He didn’t catch any passes, but his fantasy stock should certainly be on the rise.

Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars. Bye: 12.

Tank Bigsby will be productive in Jacksonville’s offense if Travis Etienne were to suffer an injury.

Keaton Mitchell, RB, Ravens. Bye: 14.

Keaton Mitchell would be an intriguing fantasy player this year if he weren’t coming off a torn ACL.

Antonio Gibson, RB, Patriots. Bye: 14.

Antonio Gibson will be used as a receiving back, but he’s unlikely to see many carries in his new home.

Dameon Pierce, RB, Texans. Bye: 14.

Dameon Pierce lost his job to Devin Singletary, who was a better fit in Houston’s offense.

Jerick McKinnon, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 6.

Jerick McKinnon is just a receiving back at this stage of his career.

MarShawn Lloyd, RB, Packers. Bye: 10.

MarShawn Lloyd participated in team drills on Saturday. Lloyd was expected to miss time with an injury, but it seems as though he could be ready for Week 1. This makes him a late-round flier as Josh Jacobs’ handcuff.

Alexander Mattison, RB, Raiders. Bye: 10.

Alexander Mattison was a huge bust last year. He’s currently the Raiders’ No. 2 running back.

Eric Gray, RB, Giants. Bye: 11.

Eric Gray may win the No. 2 job behind Devin Singletary.

Carson Steele, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 6.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is out for the first four weeks at the very least. Carson Steele stands to benefit as Isiah Pacheco’s direct backup. Samaje Perine is getting some hype, but he was cut by Denver and is just a third-down back.

Justice Hill, RB, Ravens. Bye: 14.

With Derrick Henry joining the team, Justice Hill won’t do as much next year.

Trey Sermon, RB, Colts. Bye: 14.

With Zack Moss gone, Trey Sermon is the No. 2 back in Indianapolis.

Samaje Perine, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 6.

Samaje Perine is Denver’s pass-catching back. He needs lots of players ahead of him to get injured in order to be relevant.

Kendre Miller, RB, Saints. Bye: 12.

Kendre Miller doesn’t seem likely to learn the offensive system, according to Dennis Allen. Miller’s issue is his inability to practice, according to Allen. It’s seeming like Miller will be yet another TCU bust.

Dalvin Cook, RB, Cowboys. Bye: 7.

Elijah Mitchell should be owned in all formats because he would immediately become a high-end RB2 in the event of a Christian McCaffrey injury.

Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Eagles. Bye: 5.

Kenneth Gainwell may not be part of the offense’s plans this year.
