During the first half of the 2022 NFL season, New York Jets fans (like myself) were riding high. Despite low expectations, Robert Saleh’s Jets stormed out to a surprising 7-3 start, and New York appeared to be on its way to the playoffs. But then superstar rookie RB Breece Hall got hurt, and everything changed. […]

In the second half of last season, then-rookie running back Kenneth Walker III exploded in a major way for the Seattle Seahawks. With electric runs and game-breaking plays, Walker emerged as one of the top options in fantasy circles. So how does that change this year, considering the Seahawks’ draft selection of Zach Charbonnet, a […]

Running back is the Holy Grail position of fantasy football. Experienced managers know this, thus, you might run into redraft leagues where RBs are the first 20 players off the board.  But is that really necessary this season? With so much high-quality depth at the position, can’t we just sit around, wait, and ultimately pick […]

Last week I analyzed the landing spots for quarterbacks Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson and Will Levis, amongst others, but this week I’ll be switching gears to the running back position. Obviously, two names stand tall above the rest at RB, but there are plenty of other interesting young talents to take a look […]

Running back is arguably the most talked-about position in our fantasy football universe, and well… this offseason is really shakin’ things up at such a pivotal position. Let’s dive right in and see how key running back transactions are reshaping the landscape of the game we love so much.  Miles Sanders, Carolina Panthers: He did […]

At exactly the moment when fantasy managers are souring on the running back position – why take someone from the most injury-prone position when we get guaranteed production from WRs like Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams? – this happens to be an extremely deep RB crop this season. We have strong plays at the top […]

In classical journalism, we are always taught to “know your audience.”  That said, we are in a rapidly moving and changing world these days, right? Everything is quick. Everything is instant. Thus, I try to be economical in my articles while keepin’ things moving for you. Unfortunately, when that happens, some fantasy football options get […]

With another memorable Super Bowl now in the books, it’s time for us to pack it up until the next football season rolls around.  Say whaaaaaaaaat? Of course, I’m kidding. You think we can dominate 2023 fantasy football by waiting around for OTAs and mini-camp? No. The answer is no, we absolutely cannot. We gotta […]

Last week my top free agent quarterback piece was headlined by Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady and the new legend Daniel Jones, who probably earned himself additional millions with yesterday’s impressive playoff performance in a dramatic victory over the more-talented Minnesota Vikings. And why not stick with that Giants’ thread since they are the talk of […]

Now that the 2020 fantasy football playoffs are upon us, my job overseeing the rest of season top 60 running back rankings here at Razzball are as through as the chances of Carson Wentz inviting Doug Pederson to this week’s Bible study. Last week, I put a bow on that project with one final, playoff edition of the top backs to target for those still in hot pursuit of a fantasy championship. Friends, we’ve come a long, long way from the initial set of rankings I constructed in the preseason edition, when I was young and naïve and my only prior experience with Reddit commenters was through the illegal streaming of countless sporting events. But now, since there are truly only two weeks of fantasy football remaining, my job is done. Instead, for those looking for rankings to use the next couple weeks, look to Donkey Teeth & Co. for further insight. All season long, Razzball’s Donkey Teeth and MB have been providing excellent work as always with their weekly fantasy football rankings. That’s the place to go for any and all remaining decisions. As for me, my final fantasy football post for 2020 will look ahead to 2021. Who is an early favorite for that first overall pick in drafts? Which 2020 rookie backs have put themselves in the conversation for a first round pick? And hey, how about the incoming 2021 rookie class? Any early-round selection potential there? You already know I want me some Najee Harris the same way I wanted to be in bed with Dobbins the Take-it-to-the-House Elf all season long. But first, before you all take your Sunday wizardry robes off,  I’d like to take a few moments to reflect briefly on what we observed in 2020 (in lieu of a trip around the league), and how maybe we can use it as a learning experience to improve as fantasy owners in the years ahead.

All season long, we’ve been grinding through the top-60 rest of season running backs. There has been a lot of turnover, an excess of movement both in and outside of the top-24, and a heck of a lot of injuries and COVID-19 to navigate around — both in the fantasy realm and the real world. But, alas, we’ve finally made it to Week 14. Hopefully, for many of you, this means the start of a successful playoff run, as Weeks 14-16 is when the vast majority of fantasy playoffs occur. For this very reason, I find myself feeling sentimental as I write this. At times, I led you stray, and at others, I did my job well. Now, as we leave the regular season behind and enter the postseason threshold, I have the opportunity to provide you with one last set of running back rankings as it relates to the 2020 season. In this final installment, I’ll be focusing on the set of matchups each running back faces over the next three weeks, as I’ve replaced the previous “bye” week component in the rankings with a look at each respective player’s “upcoming schedule.” And before you ask, yes — I do have David Montgomery ranked as a top-10 rest of season, fantasy playoff run option for that very reason, among others.

But before we get to the rest of that top 10, let’s take one final, albeit emotional trip around the league together. Feel free to bring a pack of Kleenex or, if you wish, simply deploy your own makeshift snot sleeve. Personally, I haven’t cried this hard since I said goodbye to my foreign exchange student in 10th grade. It was emotional. We played a lot of ping pong together. To fully appreciate this last ROS top-60 segment, I highly recommend playing the song “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. Blast it from the speakers as you digest the fickle words to follow.
