Week 1 of Preseason is over. Week 2 is quickly approaching. This means one very important thing. Your fantasy football draft is quickly approaching.

Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Back Edition

***If you have already partaken in a fantasy football draft then shame on you because everyone knows you can’t do your draft until after week 3 of the preseason to avoid any injuries that happen in these pointless exhibitions. However, if you were unfortunate enough to be suckered into drafting your team already, don’t fret. Thanks to Rotosurance you can protect your investments from injury. Make sure to enter the promo code AlDente and they will handle the rest. Your mistake of drafting too early can be resolved and you can rest easy knowing that if Jordy Nelson goes down again before the meaningful games start you are protected. But I digress…***

Every position in your fantasy lineup is important, but the running back position can be the anchor of your team if drafted correctly. It can be tricky considering that typically there are only 32-35 running backs that produce sufficient fantasy output, barring injury. Many of these backs are snatched up early in drafts so you have to make sure that you fill your roster out before you are taking Shane Vereen as one of your starting two.

Lucky for you Sports Al Dente is here to help. Five of our Fantasy Football Experts have put together in depth analysis of the top 32 fantasy football running backs that you should be targeting in your draft. Rather you stockpile your bench with these players or get on your knees and pray that three RBs will get you through the entire season, that is entirely up to you.

Treat this guide like the Bible that you have downloaded to your phone. Take it with you everywhere. Read it. Study it. Share it. Repeat. Follow these steps and come draft day, you will have the confidence to draft the running backs that will lead your team to the championship.
