Running backs were the first choice in fantasy designs at one point, but times are changing. There’s still plenty of reason to select playmakers like Christian McCaffrey or Austin Ekeler at number 1, and who knows, maybe we’ll be talking about Bijan Robinson by this time next year as the consensus is 1.01. On the other hand, many of us will see WR Justin Jefferson fly off the board at the top of our trek. With a lot of variation between fantasy running backs, keeping track of position rankings before and during the season is essential, as managers can see how a player moves among their peers from preseason action to the fantasy playoffs. Today’s preview looks at PPR rankings, but our full Draft Guide has rankings for half PPR, dynasty, and more.
