2023 Fantasy Football Rankings - Running Backs (January 28):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-75 |
Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE | DraftSharks' Projections

Derrick Henry rebounded well off an injury, but didn't have the offensive line play in front of him to have a huge year. A nice development, however, was his increased involvement in the passing game.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,670 rushing yards. 28 catches. 240 receiving yards. 15 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 281.

There was some question about Christian McCaffrey's usage in San Francisco when the trade was made because the 49ers have so many weapons. McCaffrey was great when given a big workload, but the 49ers will limit him in less-important matchups.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,120 rushing yards. 89 catches. 800 receiving yards. 14 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 276.

Jonathan Taylor had a rough year because of poor offensive line play in front of him and an injury to end the year. Taylor's outlook will brighten if the Colts can fix their offensive line.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,390 rushing yards. 42 catches. 320 receiving yards. 13 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 249.

Austin Ekeler played all 17 games last year. He caught more than 100 passes and scored 18 touchdowns in the process. I'd expect some regression to the mean with the receivers expected to play more next year.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 900 rushing yards. 85 catches. 650 receiving yards. 15 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 245.

Nick Chubb is extremely talented, but his workload is so dependent on game script because he seldom catches passes. He should often be in positive game scripts if Deshaun Watson can revert back to pre-massage form.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,410 rushing yards. 24 catches. 190 receiving yards. 13 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 238.
Josh Jacobs led the NFL in rushing last year. He was also a big factor as a receiver, catching 53 passes. It'll be interesting to see where he lands in free agency.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,350 rushing yards. 44 catches. 340 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 235.

Saquon Barkley finally overcame his ACL tear last year and had a terrific season. There's no reason to think that he would regress.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,290 rushing yards. 55 catches. 380 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 227.
Bijan Robinson projects as a Christian McCaffrey- or Saquon Barkley-type franchise running back. We'll see where he lands.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,200 rushing yards. 55 catches. 400 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 226.

Dalvin Cook played a full NFL season for the first time in his professional career. Unfortunatey for Cook, his stats dropped because the Vikings didn't run the ball as much under Kevin O'Connell.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,220 rushing yards. 41 catches. 310 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 225.

Tony Pollard should continue to see a larger workload compared to Ezekiel Elliott. His ability to go the distance anytime he touches the ball makes him a stellar weekly option.
Projected 2023 Fantasy Stats: 1,080 rushing yards. 42 catches. 360 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 220.
