Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football leagues. Due to the nature of the NFL, running back is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL year-to-year.
Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay on top of all the running back depth charts and in-season position battles, for the AFC and NFC, and dominate your fantasy football leagues this year.
We will be updating our NFL & Fantasy Football Running Back Depth Charts all season long. Bookmark this page and keep checking back for updates!
