Other Positions: QB | WR | TE | Top 250

Sony Michel, RB, Patriots. Bye: 10.
AUG. 27 UPDATE: The Patriots may have lost their center, David Andrews, to blood clots in his lungs. This will obviously make New England’s blocking worse, which worsens Sony Michel’s fantasy outlook.
AUG. 23 UPDATE: Sony Michel saw his first action since undergoing a knee scope earlier in the offseason. Michel looked great versus the Panthers. He picked up a short-yardage run, then made a great burst with a terrific jump cut, though the play was nullified by a penalty. Still, Michel was terrific, gaining 36 yards on 10 carries. I’m going to move him up my rankings, though I’m still concerned about his ability to last an entire season.
JUNE 9 UPDATE: Sony Michel has been missing from practice since May 20. It’s unclear why this is, and even the Patriots media doesn’t know. I’m not going to drop Michel in my rankings just yet, but it’s a situation to monitor.
It’s frustrating owning a Patriots running back, as Bill Belichick could easily decide to give goal-line carries to a fullback or a horrible plodder like Rex Burkhead. Still, Sony Michel rushed for 931 yards as a rookie despite missing three games and a chunk of a couple others. He only scored six touchdowns in the regular season, but he found the end zone twice in the opening half of the Chargers game in the playoffs. Maybe that’s a sign of things to come.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 1,070 rushing yards. 10 catches. 70 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 180.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 190.
-
Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders. Bye: 6.
JULY 11 UPDATE: Josh Jacobs has agreed to terms with the Raiders, so there won’t be a Joey Bosa-like holdout. This is obviously great news for Oakland and anyone who plans on drafting Jacobs.
JULY 8 UPDATE: Josh Jacobs may not be at the beginning of training camp because he’s holding out. This seems like it could be similar to the Joey Bosa holdout from a few years ago, leading Bosa to miss a few games. We’ll see what happens, and Jacobs still has time to change his mind, but it’s something to be wary of if you plan on drafting him.
Josh Jacobs is the top fantasy player for both re-draft and dynasty formats. He’ll be the starter right away, and he’ll be getting all of the carries in Oakland. It’d be nice if his offensive line were better, but Jacobs is still the No. 1 player on this list.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 950 rushing yards. 14 catches. 90 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 161.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 175.
-
Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers. Bye: 12.
SEPT. 2 UPDATE: Melvin Gordon won’t report for Week 1, per an ESPN report. The Chargers have broken off contract negotiations with Gordon, so unless he’s traded, it doesn’t sound like he’ll play until Week 10.
AUG. 22 UPDATE: Melvin Gordon’s holdout is expected to continue into the regular season, according to Ian Rapoport. The contract talks have not gone well, apparently, so Gordon will likely sit out some games. At this rate, it’s difficult to justify picking him in the first three rounds.
JULY 23 UPDATE: An update on Melvin Gordon’s holdout: Charles Robinson of Yahoo! has reported that an extension for Gordon “isn’t coming soon,” which could mean that Gordon will miss some regular-season action. It’s too early to drop him considerably in the Fantasy Football Rankings, but it’s something we’ll continue to monitor.
JULY 11 UPDATE: Melvin Gordon has announced that he will hold out for a new contract. His agent said there is a strong possibility that Gordon will miss regular-season action unless he’s extended or traded. Gordon is set to make $5.6 million, which is not nearly enough for someone of his talent level. He is correct to hold out, given how brittle running backs are. However, the Chargers would be crazy to give Gordon a huge contract, given that he’s played just one full season in his career thus far. Gordon and the Chargers could be at an impasse as a result, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the talented back ends up missing regular-season action. Also, keep in mind that running backs who miss training camp have a dubious history of production, so it might be smart to avoid Gordon entirely if he’s still holding out into the middle of August.
JUNE 17 UPDATE: The Chargers don’t know if Russell Okung will be ready for training camp, per an ESPN report. This is troubling because Okung is the Chargers’ best offensive lineman, by far. If he misses regular-season action, Melvin Gordon’s blocking will see a sharp decline.
Melvin Gordon failed to rush for 1,000 last year, but only because he missed four games with an injury. He made up for it with 50 catches and 14 total touchdowns. Gordon played a full season in 2017, so he could have a healthier 2019 campaign.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 780 rushing yards. 28 catches. 200 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 159.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 187.
-
Damien Williams, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 12.
SEPT. 1 UPDATE: LeSean McCoy has signed with the Chiefs, which really makes things confusing as far as Kansas City’s backfield is concerned. McCoy will take touches away from both players. Damien Williams can no longer be chosen in the Round 2-3 range.
AUG. 25 UPDATE: Andy Reid chided Damien Williams earlier in the offseason because he couldn’t get healthy. Williams made up for it with a 62-yard receiving touchdown on a wheel route in the preseason dress rehearsal. Williams ended up rushing for 19 yards on five carries, while also catching three passes for 74 receiving yards and the score. Williams has high fantasy bust potential because he has never handled a full workload for a season, and I’m not sure he can last an entire year, but his upside is through the roof.
AUG. 4 UPDATE: Damien Williams hasn’t been able to get over a hamstring injury. This has frustrated Andy Reid, who voiced his displeasure about Williams’ missed practices. Williams is not a long-time starter, so he could be bumped in favor of Carlos Hyde, who has performed well in training camp thus far.
Damien Williams was explosive down the stretch when taking over for the released Kareem Hunt and injured Spencer Ware. Williams gashed the Seahawks for 103 rushing yards and 37 receiving yards in Week 16, then gained 129 yards on the ground versus the Colts in the divisional round of the playoffs. It remains to be seen if Williams can handle a full workload over an entire season, but he certainly projects as a high-end RB2 at the very least.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 790 rushing yards. 38 catches. 310 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 158.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 196.
-
Derrick Henry, RB, Titans. Bye: 11. 
AUG. 26 UPDATE: Derrick Henry sat out the third preseason game, but I’m still going to give him a stock-down arrow. He wasn’t healthy enough to play in this contest, and I realized that I haven’t penalized him enough for former offensive line coach Mike Munchak’s departure. Dion Lewis started instead and couldn’t pick up a single rushing yard on two attempts.
JULY 29 UPDATE: Derrick Henry left Saturday’s practice in a walking boot after suffering an injury. Mike Vrabel then wouldn’t provide an update, outside of saying that the injury was to the lower leg (duh). Henry still has plenty of time to heal, but I’d be cautious about drafting him at his current ADP right now.
Derrick Henry had an amazing performance in a Thursday night victory and then ran away with the job. Henry was dominant down the stretch, rushing for 238, 170, 84 and 93 yards in his final four games, scoring seven times in the process. Henry should be able to parlay that into a big 2019 campaign, though the possiblity for regression definitely exists.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 980 rushing yards. 18 catches. 110 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 157.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 175.
-
Austin Ekeler, RB, Chargers. Bye: 12.
AUG. 25 UPDATE: Austin Ekeler carried the ball four times for 11 yards in the dress rehearsal, while Justin Jackson gained 13 yards on six attempts. As you might guess, Ekeler was a greater threat in the passing game, as he caught two passes for 22 yards. His stat line should have been much better, but Tyrod Taylor overthrew him for a deep score. It’s beginning to look like Ekeler should be drafted early with Melvin Gordon likely to continue his holdout into the regular season.
JULY 11 UPDATE: Melvin Gordon is threatening to hold out into the regular season, so Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson will need to be bumped up in the rankings. They’ll continue to climb throughout August if Gordon doesn’t report to the team.
Austin Ekeler is currently the Chargers’ No. 2 back. He should be on the waiver wire of standad leagues, though he’ll need to be added in the wake of a Melvin Gordon injury. Ekeler is worth owning in PPR formats.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 720 rushing yards. 52 catches. 430 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 157.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 211.
-
Miles Sanders, RB, Eagles. Bye: 10.
AUG. 16 UPDATE: Miles Sanders started ahead of Jordan Howard in the second preseason contest. Both Sanders and Howard played, so it’s not like the latter sat out like his quarterback. Sanders was the primary runner, while Howard handled short-yardage work. Sanders had some nice runs, opening with a burst of 12 yards, thanks to a great block. He later carried some defenders on a gain of 16 yards. Sanders finished with 31 yards on five attempts. It’s unclear if the Eagles will keep Sanders ahead of Jordan, but I would rather have the rookie on my fantasy roster than the former Bear.
JULY 31 UPDATE: Miles Sanders has looked great in training camp thus far, according to beat writer Mike Kaye. Sanders had an injury-plagued summer, but is now healthy. He’s apparently living up to expectations, and it seems as though he’ll become Philadelphia’s primary ball-carrier at some point this year.
JUNE 3 UPDATE: Miles Sanders is sidelined with a hamstring injury. This is not enough for me to downgrade him in the 2019 Fantasy Football Rankings, but it’s something to monitor. Sanders might be 100 percent by training camp, but soft-tissue injuries tend to linger.
Miles Sanders is an explosive running back who figures to take the lead in Philadelphia’s committee. Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson talked about how they were looking for a back like Sanders for a long time, so I can’t see them limiting his workload.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 720 rushing yards. 28 catches. 220 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 156.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 184.
-
Tarik Cohen, RB, Bears. Bye: 6. 
Tarik Cohen has big play-making ability and is a big factor as a receiver out of the backfield. He caught 71 passes for 725 receiving yards in 2018, scoring eight touchdowns in the process. I’d like to see Cohen get more touches.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 450 rushing yards. 73 catches. 680 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 155.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 228.
-
Marlon Mack, RB, Colts. Bye: 6.
AUG. 25 UPDATE: Andrew Luck has retired, which absolutely kills Marlon Mack’s fantasy outlook. He’ll still run behind a great offensive line, but defenses will be able to stack the box against him. His projected touchdown total can almost be cut in half as well.
Marlon Mack, a fourth-round pick from the 2017 NFL Draft, had some great performances down the stretch and then trampled the Texans in the opening round of the playoffs. Mack gained 908 yards and scored 10 touchdowns in 12 games. He seems poised for a big 2019 campaign, as he’ll continue to run behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 970 rushing yards. 23 catches. 180 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 151.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
-
Justice Hill, RB, Ravens. Bye: 8. 
AUG. 16 UPDATE: Justice Hill was the fourth running back to see the field for the Ravens in their second preseason game, but Baltimore is going to have trouble keeping its dynamic rookie off the field. Hill looked great in this contest, rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. His score was a short-yardage run in the third quarter. His longest rush, a gain of 14, featured a nice cut and great explosion. Hill will continue to be one of my top Fantasy Football Sleepers.
AUG. 9 UPDATE: Justice Hill played behind Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon in the preseason opener, but he looked good when given the opportunity, rushing for 33 yards on 10 carries. Hill’s best play came on a reception in the 2-minute drill just prior to halftime. He made a fingertip grab on a pass that was off the mark, then accelerated past defenders to pick up 14 yards.
Justice Hill has a good chance to play extensively this year. If Mark Ingram gets hurt, Hill could see lots of action in a run-heavy offense. He could emerge as the starter in a couple of years as well, giving him good long-term potential.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 690 rushing yards. 40 catches. 320 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 151.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 191.
-
LeSean McCoy, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 12.
SEPT. 1 UPDATE: LeSean McCoy has signed with the Chiefs. I’m not as bullish on Darwin Thompson. I still think Thompson is still worth a pick in the late rounds because of his talent and potential, but I would no longer consider him in the middle of the draft.
AUG. 31 UPDATE: LeSean McCoy was released, but he’s not getting a “stock down” arrow. This was an expected move. I believe McCoy will sign somewhere and have the chance to be the starter. The Texans make the most sense.
AUG. 24 UPDATE: LeSean McCoy handled most of the workload throughout the entire opening half in the preseason dress rehearsal. He rushed for 37 yards on six carries, and those numbers would look better if two runs of his for a collective 23 yards weren’t negated by holds. Unlike last year, McCoy looks very spry and energized, so he might have some buy-low potential with no one believing in him anymore. It’s just a matter of where he’s traded. I could be wrong, but it looked like the Bills were showcasing McCoy for the other 31 teams in the NFL.
LeSean McCoy was accused of beating his ex-girlfriend, his son and his dog last summer. This was the beginning of a miserable year for McCoy, who rushed for only 514 yards and three touchdowns. McCoy turns 31 this offseason and looks like he has taken a sharp decline. Buffalo’s offensive line improved this offseason, but it’s hard to feel optimistic about McCoy.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 740 rushing yards. 34 catches. 240 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 145.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 179.
-
Derrius Guice, RB, Redskins. Bye: 10.
AUG. 23 UPDATE: Derrius Guice saw his first action since he tore his ACL last August. He had some great highlights against Atlanta. His first run featured a nice cut-back for a gain of seven. He then had a nice stiff-arm to pick up six yards. He later appeared to score a touchdown, but it was nullified by an Ereck Flowers hold. Guice finished with 44 yards on 11 carries. He looked great, but two things are worth noting: First, Adrian Peterson didn’t play, and he’ll eat into Guice’s workload during the season. Second, Washington’s offensive line is a mess, so Guice is going to have trouble finding running lanes in most games.
AUG. 2 UPDATE: Trent Williams is threatening to hold out the entire year, and it certainly sounds like he will do so. Washington’s blocking is going to be poor without Williams, so that makes me down on Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson.
Derrius Guice is an extremely talented running back who would’ve had a chance to be a top-10 producer at the position last year. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in the preseason and never had a chance. Because the injury occurred so early in the year, Guice will be 100 percent for 2019. The problem is that Adrian Peterson re-signed, so Guice won’t get the touches he should, unfortunately.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 780 rushing yards. 11 catches. 90 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 144.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 155.
-
Tevin Coleman, RB, 49ers. Bye: 4.
SEPT. 4 UPDATE: Tevin Coleman is listed behind Matt Breida on the 49ers’ depth chart. I wouldn’t be panicking if I were a Coleman owner, but I’d be somewhat worried.
Tevin Coleman had a chance to be the full-time running back in the wake of Devonta Freeman’s injury early in the season, but he proved to be a huge disappointment. He rushed for just 800 yards, though he scored nine times. Coleman signed with the 49ers, which is a nice spot for him because of his positive history with Kyle Shanahan.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 700 rushing yards. 24 catches. 180 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 144.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 168.
-
Darrell Henderson, RB, Rams. Bye: 9.
Darrell Henderson isn’t built to handle 20 carries per week, but he’ll likely get plenty of touches in his rookie campaign (and beyond), given Todd Gurley’s sudden knee injuries.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 620 rushing yards. 33 catches. 230 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 141.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
-
Latavius Murray, RB, Saints. Bye: 9.
Latavius Murray will give Alvin Kamara a breather when he needs one. I don’t expect him to match Mark Ingram’s production – he’s just not as good as Ingram – but his fantasy potential will go through the roof if Kamara gets hurt.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 620 rushing yards. 26 catches. 170 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 135.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 161.
-
Jordan Howard, RB, Eagles. Bye: 10.
Things looked promising for Jordan Howard when he was traded to the Eagles, but Philadelphia used a second-round pick on Miles Sanders. Howard could score a bunch of touchdowns in 2019, but he’ll have to share the workload with Sanders.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 780 rushing yards. 12 catches. 80 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 134.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 146.
-
Kareem Hunt, RB, Browns. Bye: 7.
Kareem Hunt is out for half the season, so he’s a difficult player to draft in the single-digit rounds. Hunt will be a big factor in the passing game when he returns to action, but Nick Chubb will continue to shoulder most of the workload.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 450 rushing yards. 35 catches. 270 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 132.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 167.
-
Darwin Thompson, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 12. 
SEPT. 1 UPDATE: LeSean McCoy has signed with the Chiefs. I’m not as bullish on Darwin Thompson. I still think Thompson is still worth a pick in the late rounds because of his talent and potential, but I would no longer consider him in the middle of the draft.
AUG. 25 UPDATE: There was a report earlier in the week that rookie running back Darwin Thompson leapt Carlos Hyde on the depth chart. This was indeed true, as Thompson was the second running back in the game for Kansas City against the 49ers. Thompson saw action with Patrick Mahomes and the first-team offense. He carried the ball just three times for eight yards – in addition to two catches for nine receiving yards – but I see that as a positive because it shows that Andy Reid wants to utilize him in the regular season. Thompson had a couple of nice plays. He made a terrific spin move to avoid a defender after a catch, then pushed through some defenders to pick up six yards on the ground. Some of his negative plays occurred when Mahomes was removed from the game, though he failed to get a second foot inbounds on what should have been another reception.
AUG. 24 UPDATE: Darwin Thompson has officially leapt Carlos Hyde on the depth chart, according to the Kansas City Star. Even better, Thompson is getting goal-line work with the first-string offense. This is obviously huge for his fantasy outlook, which I was bullish on before this report. Make sure you get Thompson on your fantasy roster, as his potential in Kansas City’s high-powered offense is through the roof.
AUG. 22 UPDATE: Darwin Thompson has leapt Carlos Hyde on the depth chart, per Nate Taylor of the Athletic. This is far from a surprise, and it shouldn’t shock anyone if Thompson emerges as the starter at some point during the season.
AUG. 19 UPDATE: Following another strong performance in the preseason, Darwin Thompson earned some praise from Andy Reid. Thompson, according to Reid, has good vision and a very good understanding of the passing game. Thompson is looking like he’ll establish himself as the Chiefs’ starting running back at some point this season.
AUG. 18 UPDATE: Darwin Thompson entered the second preseason in the middle of the second quarter. He immediately looked great, breaking a run to the outside to pick up a gain of 14 yards. He then broke out of a Bud Dupree tackle to pick up two yards when he easily could have gone down for a substantial loss. Thompson then followed that up with a nice cut to bounce outside for an 11-yard burst. Thompson finished with 30 yards on four carries. He appears to be the best running back on Kansas City’s roster.
AUG. 11 UPDATE: Darwin Thompson was amazing in his preseason debut. The Utah State product did it all. He made a nice cut-back on a run to open the second quarter. He had a run in which he should’ve been stopped for no gain, but broke through some defenders to gain eight yards. He leapt over a defender on a rush in the third quarter. And to cap off his evening, he caught a pass and avoided some defenders to reach the end zone. Thompson rushed for 22 yards on five carries to go along with his 29-yard touchdown reception. Thompson was terrific, and he’ll continue to be slotted near the top of my Fantasy Football Sleepers page.
Darwin Thompson might have a chance to be Kansas City’s starting running back. Damien Williams has been injured, while Carlos Hyde has underwhelmed in recent years. Thompson is a sixth-round rookie who caught 23 passes at Utah State last year.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 500 rushing yards. 26 catches. 200 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 128.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 154.
-
Dare Ogunbowale, RB, Buccaneers. Bye: 7.
AUG. 28 UPDATE: More positive news on Dare Ogunbowae: The young running back is expected to be Tampa’s third-down back, according to Pewter Report. If he does a good job – and I don’t see why he wouldn’t – he could earn the starting job. Make sure you use your final pick on O’Gun, Bow & Ale.
AUG. 18 UPDATE: I have another update of O’Gun, Bow & Ale today, as Dare Ogunbowale received first-team reps in practice. Ronald Jones has been limited with a sore knee, so Ogunbowale has been taking advantage of it. O’Gun, Bow & Ale has been very impressive in the preseason, so I could see him becoming the starting running back at some point in 2019.
Dare Ogunbowale is someone I forgot to mention in the Buccaneers-Dolphins preseason recap. He was very impressive in that game, both as a runner and a receiver. I’m noting him now because Bruce Arians praised him extensively. Arians said Ogunbowale was a stellar pass protector, which is huge. That could mean he’ll see the field on third down at the very least. However, given that Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones are both underwhelming, there’s a non-zero chance that Ogunbowale will become Tampa’s starting running back at some point this season. Ogunbowale is someone I’d recommend drafting in the final round of any league you’re in, as his fantasy upside is through the roof.
As an aside, if you’re having trouble spelling Ogunbowale, here’s an easy way to learn how to do it correctly: Take out the “O” at the beginning of his last name, and you have Gun, Bow and Ale – three things that Daryl Dixon likely has on his person at all times. I’m a fan of O’Gun, Bow & Ale this season, and I’m going to try to have him on most of my fantasy rosters (though I imagine that by typing this, my league mates will make sure to steal him from me.)
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 550 rushing yards. 36 catches. 270 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 126.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 162.
-
Kalen Ballage, RB, Dolphins. Bye: 5.
AUG. 17 UPDATE: The Dolphins started Mark Walton as their running back against Tampa. This is significant in that they opted to rest Kalen Ballage, indicating that they deem him too important to play in a meaningless game. With Kenyan Drake hurt, Miami doesn’t have anything beyond Ballage at the position.
AUG. 15 UPDATE: Kalen Ballage is likely to start early in the season with Kenyan Drake in a walking boot. Ballage is worthy of a stock-up arrow, but I’m not overly optimistic about his fantasy outlook because of the state of Miami’s offensive line.
JULY 26 UPDATE: Kalen Ballage took the first snap with the starting team at Thursday’s practice over Kenyan Drake. This would be significant if the Dolphins didn’t have the worst offensive line in the NFL. Ballage would offer a bit of late-round upside, but this news will likely raise his ADP.
Kalen Ballage is a talented back, but hasn’t been able to put it together mentally. Miami’s new regime didn’t draft its own running back, so Ballage has a chance to start.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Stats: 710 rushing yards. 5 catches. 40 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2019 Fantasy Points: 125.
Projected 2019 PPR Fantasy Points: 130.
