The running back group is thin this year, meaning you might be in a tough spot at times this season. At least you have my rankings to help you out.
Byes: None
Updated: Sept. 18
Other Rankings: QB, RB, WR, TE, DEF
| Rank & Player | Opponent | Notes |
| 1. LeSean McCoy, PHI | WSH | With Peterson and Charles out, McCoy is even more valuable. |
| 2. DeMarco Murray, DAL | @STL | See what happens when Murray gets the ball Dallas? He also has a great history against the Rams. |
| 3. Arian Foster, HOU | @NYG | The Giants can't stop the run. Foster could be in for another big week. Hopefully he can stay healthy all season. |
| 4. Gio Bernard, CIN | TEN | Bernard is the Bengals' go-to back this year. He gets a bump thanks to injuries and suspensions at the RB spot across the league. |
| 5. Marshawn Lynch, SEA | DEN | Lynch still has some Beast Mode in him. I think he gets less carries against Denver this week though. |
| 6. Alfred Morris, WAS | @PHI | So far so good for Morris in the Redskins' new offense. |
| 7. Le'Veon Bell, PIT | @CAR | Bell will likely be a fringe Top 10 RB for much of the year. |
| 8. Eddie Lacy, GB | @DET | Don't panic and move Lacy. Just be patient. He'll bounce back. |
| 9. Matt Forte, CHI | @NYJ | The Jets actually do a really good job of limiting opposing RBs. |
| 10. Montee Ball, DEN | @SEA | Ball has a tough matchup against the Seahawks. But with so many RBs hurt, you pretty much have to play Ball. |
| 11. Rashad Jennings, NYG | HOU | The Giants offense may be terrible, but Jennings still has some fantasy value. He has a solid matchup this week. |
| 12. C.J. Spiller, BUF | SD | Play him while he's healthy. |
| 13. Knile Davis, KC | @MIA | Davis is really good. Sign him and start him if you can. |
| 14. Bobby Rainey, TB | @ATL | UPDATE: With Martin out, Rainey gets a big bump. |
| 15. Zac Stacy, STL | @TB | Stacy looked better in Week 2, but I'm still worried about his future as a starter. If you own him you should be worried too. |
| 16. Stevan Ridley, NE | @OAK | Ridley will be the starter until he fumbles. That makes him risky, but he's going up against the Raiders this week. |
| 17. Frank Gore, SF | @ARI | Gore has a tough matchup this week. |
| 18. Andre Ellington, ARI | SF | Ellington is going to have a big year, but he's got a tough matchup this week. |
| 19. Reggie Bush, DET | GB | I think Bush gets more playing time this week than Bell. But you'd still be better offer owning Bell long term. |
| 20. Joique Bell, DET | GB | Bell is better than Bush: He's getting more playing time. However, I think Bush will play more against the Packers because both teams will throw it a ton. |
| 21. Lamar Miller, MIA | KC | With Moreno hurt, Miller's value skyrockets. Still, be cautious in playing him. |
| 22. Darren Sproles, PHI | WAS | Yeah... looks like I was wrong about Sproles. |
| 23. Pierre Thomas, NO | MIN | Thomas is better a PPR option, but might see some more touches with Ingram hurt. |
| 24. Chris Johnson, NYJ | CHI | You know the risks of playing Johnson. He'll do a lot or barely anything. |
| 25. Matt Asiata, MIN | @NO | Asiata will start in lieu of Peterson for now. He's not much more than a backup though. |
| 26. Bernard Pierce, BAL | @CLE | Is Pierce or Forsett the starter now? I can't figure it out so just keep them both on the bench for now. |
| 27. Terrence West, CLE | BAL | West is the starter with Ben Tate out. He's good, but has a bad matchup against the Ravens. |
| 28. Donald Brown, SD | @BUF | Brown is the beneficiary of Ryan Matthews being made of glass. |
| 29. Fred Jackson, BUF | SD | He'll get some touches, but his maximum value won't be reached unless Spiller goes down. |
| 30. Toby Gerhart, JAC | IND | Gerhart isn't very good. Don't believe me? |
| 31. Khiry Robinson, NO | MIN | With Ingram out, don't be surprised if Robinson gets more carries. And looks good doing so. |
| 32. Trent Richardson, IND | @JAC | Richardson has looked like a complete bust. |
| 33. Ahmad Bradshaw, IND | @JAC | At some point the Colts staff has to give Bradshaw most of the workload. Right? |
| 34. Steven Jackson, ATL | TB | Jackson is on his last legs. He'll be phased out of the offense in the near future. |
| 35. Shonn Greene, TEN | @CIN | He's the Titans' starter, for now. He's got a terrible matchup against the Bengals defense. |
| 36. Danny Woodhead, SD | @BUF | Another tailback who is better in a PPR league. No Matthews might help his value. |
| 37. Darren McFadden, OAK | @NE | The possibility of no MJD increases his value. |
| 38. Maurice Jones-Drew, OAK | @NE | MJD might not play this week. Even if he does, he's got a bad matchup. |
| 39. Justin Forsett, BAL | PIT | See Pierce, Bernard. |
| 40. Chris Ivory, NYJ | CHI | He splits time with Chris Johnson, but might vulture a few touchdowns. |
| 41. DeAngelo Williams, CAR | PIT | Williams might not play on Sunday night. It's best to keep him on the bench. |
| 42. Jonathan Stewart, CAR | PIT | If Williams can't go, Stewart will get his carries. |
| 43. Jeremy Hill, CIN | TEN | He's a handcuff for Bernard. He might vulture a few touchdowns at some point. |
| 44. Bishop Sankey, TEN | @CIN | Don't play him. Yet. He'll be the starter at some point this year. |
| 45. Doug Martin, TB | STL | UPDATE: Doug Martin is out, so keep him on your bench. |
