Running Back Rankings Week 9

Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End

With King Henry felled by a foot, it’s looking like Jonathan Taylor is the new king in town. Cook could bounce him for the rest of season, but playing the Jets should be a lock for no.1 RB this week.

Hope my running back rankings week 9 help you be the best fantasy manager you can be.

Running Back Rankings Week 8

Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End

Are we seeing the beginning of King Henry’s decline? It seems inevitable given his workload: 191 carries so far this year through 7 weeks, that extrapolates to 464 carries this season. That’s 85 more than last year’s carries leader, Derrick Henry. His ypc dipped to 3.0 against KC, his lowest of the year.

The answer is likely no. We could be seeing the greatest running back of all time. His combination of speed, power, and vision is unprecedented. In any event we haven’t seen a team that can stop him yet. But he’s not at the top of my rankings this week.
