The 2024 NFL midseason was a big one for the running back position. There was a lot of chaos in this year’s free agency class, making it even harder to predict this year’s draft landscape.

Josh Jacobs “wrapped” his 2022 rushing title and went to work as RB1 for Green Bay. And of course, who can forget Derrick Henry, who finally made our fantasy dreams come true in Baltimore’s rushing kingdom alongside QB Lamar Jackson — one of the most elusive runners (and skilled passers) in the league.
