How to Use These Running Back Rankings
Draft by tier, not by exact rank. Players inside the same tier are close enough in value that you should feel comfortable taking any of them, so let need and roster construction break the tie. When a tier is about to empty out, that is your cue to grab the last name in it before there is a drop-off. Pair this sheet with our printable draft board and top-200 PPR cheat sheet so you can track the full room while you focus on running back.
