Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
So week 9 wasn’t quite as big of a 🤯 at running back as it was at quarterback and wide receiver, but you still need your running back rankings.
James Conner did lead off all running backs with his huge game, and we had a Nyheim Hines sighting in the top ten, but other than that things were fairly chalk, with Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb, Mixon, Kamara, Patterson all making top ten appearances.
The Tennessee running back situation proved to be a morass that killed the value of all involved, as Tennessee surprisingly had a very positive game script against the Rams with virtually no players on that team having a good fantasy day unless we are talking IDPs. I don’t see a ton of value there but if there is any it’s likely McNichols. Just not very exciting options.
And OF COURSE after Stevenson has a breakout game for the Patriots he immediately enters the concussion protocol. There will never be any figuring out the Pats backfield. Probably a Bolden game this week.
If you haven’t read up on Cook’s situation you probably should. Best source is Drew Davenport from Footballguys.com.
Without further ado, let’s get to the rankings.
