Fantasy Football Rankings: RBs – 11-20

Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers. Bye: 12.

Najee Harris has been placed on the active/non-football injury list in the wake of his fireworks-related injury. Harris, an adult man who is fascinated by bright colors and loud sounds, could be activated at any moment, but each day on the injury list is an opportunity for Omarion Hampton to seize the job.

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts. Bye: 11.

Jonathan Taylor is actually helped by Anthony Richardson because opposing defenses can’t focus on just stopping him on the ground.

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Patriots. Bye: 14.

TreVeyon Henderson generated all the discussion on social media following his performance in his preseason debut. Henderson was electric against the Redskins. He started by taking the opening kickoff return for a touchdown, thanks to his blazing speed. He then took the field on the opening drive after Rhamondre Stevenson received a couple of touches and broke free for an 18-yard scamper, showing incredible burst. Henderson also caught three passes, with one of the catches going for 10 yards following a broken tackle. Henderson looks like a monster and could be a league-winning player if chosen in the fifth, or even the fourth round. The Patriots have the second-easiest schedule in the NFL, so that’s another positive for Henderson.

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers. Bye: 14.

Chuba Hubbard had a great season. He won’t be challenged by Jonathon Brooks either because of the latest torn ACL.

Kyren Williams, RB, Rams. Bye: 8.

Kyren Williams continued to be a touchdown machine, scoring 20-plus times for the second time in two years.

D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears. Bye: 5.

D’Andre Swift somehow hasn’t missed any time over the past two years. He was solid for Chicago after a rough start. His offenisve line is much better, and the Bears didn’t draft a running back to take his job.

Breece Hall, RB, Jets. Bye: 9.

It sounds as though the Jets will deploy a two-running back rotation, as Aaron Glenn wants to duplicate how Detroit’s offense functioned. This will obviously adversely impact Breece Hall, who is being chosen late in the third round.

James Cook, RB, Bills. Bye: 7.

James Cook scoed a ridiculous 16 rushing touchdowns last year. That is bound to regress to the mean.

R.J. Harvey, RB, Broncos. Bye: 12.

R.J. Harvey looked great at times in his preseason debut. He had an early 7-yard run where he forced a missed tackle. He also sprinted for an 11-yard gain where he used his speed to bounce to the outside. This, however, didn’t work on another occasion where he tried to bounce outside and took a 2-yard loss because he didn’t see a better running lane. Harvey is a great athlete and a quality pass-catcher, but he’s new to the position, so he doesn’t have a high running IQ. Perhaps he will eventually, but it’s not all there yet. Harvey also did not play a single third down. Those snaps went to Dobbins. Harvey deserves a stock-up arrow because he drew the start over Dobbins and saw more action than him, but there are definitely flaws in his game, which puts him well behind Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson.

Kenneth Walker, RB, Seahawks. Bye: 8.

Kenneth Walker missed six games last year. He also missed the talented interior blockers because he didn’t have quality running lanes.
