Dynasty rankings for running backs

Ranking running backs for dynasty purposes is notoriously difficult right now. There’s no one guy that can be guaranteed to be great for the next five years.

Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson show signs at times of being that kind of player, but catch them on a different day and you start wondering if they’re even the best running back on their own team. In Braelon Allen, the Jets have landed another up-and-coming back. And in Atlanta, Tyler Allgeier isn’t as versatile as Robinson but has more size and tackle-breaking ability.

There’s Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit, but he’s a smaller back who shares time with another big-time player.

Jonathan Taylor at times looks very good, but he’s got a history of ankle injuries.

With Saquon Barkley, we’re getting into an older back; he’ll be 28 in February.

It’s a tricky position. But I’ll take a stab at it, as I do once a month during the season.

The following rankings assume a dynasty format. I’m assuming 12 teams using PPR scoring, with the ability to control players’ rights indefinitely. In the rankings below, rookies are tagged with black dots.

I turn my attention to dynasty leagues each Saturday, rotating between the four notable positions. To see previous installments, use the “past issues” navigation tools on this page.

Last week: Quarterbacks

Next week: Tight ends
