Running Back Roundup: Week 1 (2021 Fantasy Football)


Welcome one and all to the inaugural Running Back Roundup for the 2021 fantasy football season! I’m happy to report that I’ll be your guide throughout the year as we attempt to navigate fantasy football’s most critical — and fickle — position. I handled this topic for FantasyPros back in 2017 and 2018, and also cut my teeth sorting through closer situations, the fantasy baseball equivalent of running backs. So rest assured that you’re in good hands!

I plan to lay out everything about the running back position every week right here. There is already a ton to get to, with the Saints cutting Latavius Murray, the Ravens signing Le’Veon Bell, the Falcons bringing aboard Wayne Gallman, the Jaguars acquiring Duke Johnson, and the Panthers adding Royce Freeman. Whew.

I’ll cover all that and much, much more this week. I’ll also be posting rest-of-season fantasy rankings for over 250 players each week on my own website, rosrankings.com, and discussing waiver-wire pickups, weekly matchups, and more with my co-host Lauren Auerbach on the Rest of Season Rankings podcast. If you ever want to talk running backs or anything else fantasy-related with me, I am always game. Just hit me up on Twitter.

As the season gets into high gear, certain running back situations will deserve our attention much more than others. For Week 1, let’s go in-depth with a team-by-team tour through the entire league landscape. Remember to fasten your safety belt, put your tray table up, and keep your carry-on firmly stored under the seat in front of you, because the RB flight is sure to be a bumpy ride!

Arizona Cardinals
With up-tempo maestro Kliff Kingsbury at the controls and dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray opening up running lanes, the Cardinals have an appealing setup for running back production. The question is whether they have the right backs on the roster to fully take advantage of that opportunity — and whether the touches will split too evenly to matter.

Chase Edmonds has been firmly on the fantasy radar ever since he stunned fantasy managers by going off for 150 yards and three touchdowns in Week 7 of the 2019 campaign. Edmonds displayed solid pass-catching chops last year, but he’s undersized and only averaged 2.8 yards per carry in the one game last year where he carried the ball more than 11 times. Lead back Kenyan Drake is now in Las Vegas, but the Cardinals signed former Pittsburgh bell-cow James Conner to take his place.

At various points this offseason, it’s been reported that Edmonds is the clear touch favorite and that the Cardinals will go with a “hot hand” approach that could allow either Edmonds or Conner to emerge as the lead back. We’re about to find out which is true. In the meantime, Edmonds and Conner are both viable RB3/flex options with RB2 potential.

Atlanta Falcons
This situation got interesting in a hurry this week when Atlanta discarded number two back Qadree Ollison and signed Wayne Gallman, who was cut by the 49ers. Gallman is hardly an elite talent, but he’s an upgrade over Ollison and a legitimate threat to lead back Mike Davis, whom the Falcons signed to a two-year deal this offseason. The 28-year-old Davis is coming off a career year in Carolina in place of injured star Christian McCaffrey. Still, he’s also already on his fourth NFL team and saw his production noticeably decline during his three-month stint in a featured role.

This is possibly the weakest RB group in the league, but the Falcons are typically a fantasy-friendly team. Whether it’s Davis or Gallman, their lead back will likely be on the low-end RB2 radar each week.

Baltimore Ravens
Pop over to rosrankings.com to see why I am taking a first-row seat on the Gus Bus this season. Baltimore is one of the best rushing teams in the league, which means Edwards has legitimate RB1 potential, particularly in non-PPR formats. The Ravens talked up getting J.K. Dobbins more involved in the passing game before suffering a season-ending injury, so there is at least some chance they pass those targets along to Edwards. However, we probably shouldn’t count on it.

The depth chart behind Edwards consists of 2020 undrafted free agent Ty’Son Williams and now the aforementioned Le’Veon Bell. Williams has impressed in training camp and reportedly had already leapfrogged Justice Hill, who recently suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. After a lackluster showing in Kansas City last year, Bell is unlikely an immediate threat to Edwards’ lead role. Yet he could eat into his workload a bit eventually. Bell is a bigger threat to Williams, who may need to hold him off to remain active on gamedays.

Buffalo Bills
The Bills enter 2021 with essentially the same running back setup they featured in 2020. That’s not great news for fantasy, as neither Zack Moss nor Devin Singletary provided reliable weekly fantasy value last year while splitting touches on a pass-happy offense led by Josh Allen, one of the QBs most likely to call his own number at the goal line. If anything, the situation may have slightly deteriorated with the addition of free agent Matt Breida, who could potentially steal touches from Moss, Singletary, or both.

Although it went largely unnoticed, ESPN’s Dan Graziano recently reported that Singletary could lead the team in touches. Singletary could turn out to be the marginally better draft value for those who haven’t picked yet.

Carolina Panthers
We all know the Panthers’ offense runs through Christian McCaffrey, this year’s consensus number one fantasy back. But if we learned anything from the Mike Davis Experience last year, it’s key to have McCaffrey’s understudy on speed dial. The problem is figuring out who that is. CMC’s backup initially appeared to be fourth-round rookie Chuba Hubbard, but that’s less certain now that Carolina added ex-Bronco Royce Freeman. Freeman could eventually overtake Hubbard for the number two job. Until we get some clarity, this is a less appealing handcuff situation than others across the league.

Chicago Bears
David Montgomery was a fantasy monster down the stretch last season, finishing second to Derrick Henry in fantasy points at the position from Week 12 on. But Montgomery did that damage against subpar defensive fronts. While his rushing numbers were impressive, they were boosted by a substantial passing game role without Tarik Cohen. Cohen will miss at least six games after landing on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, but offseason acquisition Damien Williams has looked good in camp and could step right into Cohen’s passing down role. As a direct backup who could have a weekly role, he’s a smart stash in fantasy leagues.

Still, Montgomery is the clear lead back and possesses proven upside, meaning he deserves to be ranked ahead of less certain backs who find themselves in the so-called “RB Dead Zone.”

Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have had a somewhat rocky training camp, but this remains an offense with considerable fantasy upside. Joe Mixon has performed like a borderline RB1 when healthy over the last three seasons, and he could receive his biggest workload yet now that pass-catching specialist Giovani Bernard is in Tampa Bay. In the event of another Mixon injury, Samaje Perine would likely become the primary rusher with rookie Chris Evans handling most of the passing down opportunities. As such, neither is a must-stash in most leagues.

Cleveland Browns
The Browns remain one of the most stable — and appealing — backfields in the league for fantasy purposes. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are both high-end talents capable of handling a bell-cow workload if called upon. That won’t happen when both are healthy, but that’s OK. Behind Pro Football Focus’s number one offensive line and a run-heavy game plan, this is one of the rare backfields that can produce two weekly fantasy starters, with Chubb serving as a weekly RB1 and Hunt on the RB2/3 border. Should either back get hurt, the other could quickly ascend to top-five status.

Dallas Cowboys
The 2020 campaign was disappointing for Ezekiel Elliott, who finished with career lows in rushing yards, yards per carry, and total touchdowns. Yet Elliott still finished as the RB11 despite playing most of the year without quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott’s return is a huge boost to the entire offense and should allow Elliott to reach double-digit scores, even if his rushing efficiency does not fully rebound.

Behind Elliott once again is Tony Pollard, who remains one of the league’s premier handcuffs. Pollard could also see an uptick in usage, particularly in the passing game, as Dallas looks to keep Elliott healthy the entire year. It remains to be seen whether Pollard will garner enough weekly touches to be a viable RB3/flex option, but he should be universally rostered regardless.

Denver Broncos
The Broncos let perennial underdog Phillip Lindsay walk in free agency and replaced him with second-round pick Javonte Williams, whom Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater has compared to none other than Alvin Kamara. You love to see it.

Williams is set to split work to begin the year with Melvin Gordon, who is now in the final year of his contract with Denver. Expect a fairly even workload in the early going, which should make both backs borderline RB2/3s heading into Week 1. But if Williams is anywhere as good as Bridgewater thinks he is, we can expect him to eventually wrestle away most of the touches from Gordon, who will likely be elsewhere in 2022.

Detroit Lions
D’Andre Swift is a dynamic talent, but there are various concerns heading into Week 1. First and foremost, he hasn’t been able to shake the injury bug, leaving him in a race again time to get cleared for the opening contest. It sounds like he will ultimately be ready to go, but a second issue is the Lions’ acquisition of Jamaal Williams. The coaching staff has repeatedly said the former Green Bay back will play a lot of snaps. Finally, there’s the general state of Detroit’s offense, which is not expected to be one of the higher-scoring outfits in the league, to put it mildly.

Once Swift is at full health, it will be important to watch how roles develop in this backfield. Both Swift and Williams are capable rushers and receivers, but the Lions may view Swift as the main pass-catching back and Williams as the primary between-the-tackles grinder.

Green Bay Packers
Speaking of Jamaal Williams, his departure from Green Bay opens up additional passing game opportunities for Aaron Jones, already one of the most productive fantasy backs in the league. After finishing as the RB5 last year and RB2 in 2019, Jones has a great chance to finish as a top-five back again this season.

That’s not to say Jones will be an every-down player. Sophomore A.J. Dillon will step into the backup role, where he should see meaningful action, but it will primarily be as a rusher rather than a receiver. Dillon is an excellent stash who may or may not see enough weekly touches to merit RB3/flex consideration. Meanwhile, rookie Kylin Hill has flashed at times in camp and could challenge Dillon for backup duties down the road.

Houston Texans
The Texans have everything you don’t want in your fantasy running backs: a low-scoring offense with too many mouths to feed. Head coach David Culley has made it clear that the team intends to use a running back committee. By all indications, last year’s primary back, David Johnson, will be relegated to a third-down role while Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram compete for early-down work. That would leave Rex Burkhead to serve as Johnson’s direct backup.

Given that Johnson, Lindsay, Ingram, and Burkhead are all known commodities who are not easily typecast into specific roles, this situation is about as messy as it gets. Lindsay and Ingram have the best shot at fantasy value, but given this offense’s limitations, it would require one running away with the starting job.

Indianapolis Colts
The Colts also roster four notable backs, but it’s pretty clear where to look for fantasy value. Although it took Jonathan Taylor a while to get going in his rookie season, he averaged 123.5 rushing yards per game over his last six contests and scored eight touchdowns in his last five. Taylor won’t operate as a true bell-cow back, but given his talent and Indy’s excellent offensive line, he can absolutely produce RB1 numbers.

Nyheim Hines returns as the Colts’ designated pass-catching back, and the coaches reportedly want to get him the ball more this year. Hines was a top-20 RB in 0.5 PPR formats last season and should at least be on the RB3/flex radar again this year. Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins will compete to serve as Taylor’s direct backup, with some indications coming out that Wilkins could be the early favorite as Mack continues to work his way back from a torn Achilles tendon.

Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars turned a lot of heads when they spent a first-round pick on Travis Etienne, but we’ll have to wait a year to see what Urban Meyer has in store for Etienne after he suffered a season-ending foot injury. That leaves James Robinson back in the lead role, where he finished as the seventh-best fantasy running back in 2020 as an undrafted rookie.

A lot has changed since last year, including a coaching change and a new QB. Trevor Lawrence should eventually boost Robinson’s upside, but he’ll likely see a smaller workload under Meyer. Even without Etienne around, Meyer appears intent on giving regular touches to Carlos Hyde, whom he coached at Ohio State. Initially, I’d project a roughly 2-for-1 split in Robinson’s favor with no clearly defined roles. Finally, Duke Johnson, who recently signed with the Jaguars’ practice squad, could work his way into a passing down role once he learns the playbook.

Kansas City Chiefs
Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s rookie season was generally seen as a disappointment, but he accumulated 1,100 yards from scrimmage and finish as the RB22 in only 13 games. It was hardly a disastrous campaign. In fact, CEH provided low-end RB1 value until Kansas City brought in Le’Veon Bell, who won’t return this year.

Edwards-Helaire still won’t be a true bell cow, but he’s the clear lead back on one of the league’s highest-scoring offenses, That makes him a strong bet to improve on last year’s numbers, particularly his five total touchdowns. Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon should both mix in, with Williams the better pure handcuff for CEH and McKinnon the more likely backup to have a reliable weekly role in the passing game.

Los Angeles Chargers
Over the last two seasons, Austin Ekeler has established himself as Alvin Kamara-lite. Ekeler is a dependable, high-end RB2 who could sneak into low-end RB1 territory in PPR formats. But Ekeler is simply not built to be an every-down back, which means there is once again room for another running back to emerge in this offense.

In 2020, that opportunity went fourth-round rookie Joshua Kelley, who handled 35 carries over the first two weeks before his role declined due to poor performance. Justin Jackson also sprinkled in a couple of good games but struggled to stay healthy, as he has throughout his career.

Under new head coach Brandon Staley, the Chargers spent a sixth-round pick on Larry Rountree, who will compete with Jackson and Kelley for the No. 2 job. Jackson is the current favorite, but this will be a situation to closely monitor in the opening weeks of the season.

Los Angeles Rams
Cam Akers was shaping up to be a locked-in RB1 after taking over the Rams’ backfield down the stretch last year. However, he tore his Achilles, ending his season before it began. That theoretically opens up a big opportunity for Darrell Henderson, who had a few decent games while Akers was hurt early last season. Yet as I explain in more detail over at rosrankings.com, the Rams have given multiple indications that they don’t truly believe in Henderson as a lead back.

LA recently traded two late-round draft picks to acquire Sony Michel, who will compete for touches with Henderson. While Michel is not a world-beater, he graded out extremely well as a rusher last season on Pro Football Focus. Furthermore, ESPN’s Adam Schefter predicted that Michel would be the Rams’ “lead back” following the trade. I’d still give Henderson a slight edge heading into Week 1, but this backfield is certainly wide open. Even third-stringer Jake Funk could factor in at some point.

Las Vegas Raiders
Josh Jacobs is an under-appreciated fantasy player. He’s finished as the RB13 and RB10 in fantasy points per game (minimum 10 games) during his first two NFL seasons. However, the Raiders have never made Jacobs the true every-down back. If that didn’t happen when his main backups were Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington, it surely won’t with Kenyan Drake in Vegas.

Drake was a productive player in his own right last season, and the Raiders are paying him like a player who will assume a significant role. Jacobs and Drake are both capable of playing on all three downs, but the early indication is that Jacobs will be the primary rusher while Drake provides a change of pace and garners touches in the passing game. That should allow Jacobs to remain in the RB2 conversation while Drake has RB3/flex potential and lots of upside in the event of a Jacobs injury.

Miami Dolphins
Dolphins beat writers seem to agree that Myles Gaskin will lead the backfield in touches. The question is by how much.

Gaskin was an incredibly effective fantasy option last season, finishing with the ninth-most fantasy points per game among running backs who suited up for at least 10 contests. Despite never recording 100 rushing yards in a game, he provided steady rushing production with around 3-5 catches each week. If he maintains a similar role this year, Gaskins stands a great chance of being an every-week RB2.

Gaskin’s backup, Salvon Ahmed, did produce a 100-yard rushing game in Gaskin’s absence while serving as a plug-and-play RB2. Given recent reports about the team’s confidence in Gaskin, Ahmed is unlikely to get enough touches in the early going to be a standalone fantasy option, but he is an intriguing handcuff. Miami also brought in Malcolm Brown on a one-year deal. Although Brown may steal more touches away from Gaskin, Ahmed would be the main beneficiary of a Gaskin injury and is, therefore, the better stash.

Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings represent one of the simplest backfields in fantasyland. Dalvin Cook is an every-down back and consensus top-three fantasy option at the position. Alexander Mattison is his lightly-used handcuff.

Cook has never managed to play more than 14 games in a season, so there will likely be a few games this season where Mattison is a plug-and-play RB2, if not an RB1. Last season, Mattison went well over 100 yards from scrimmage in both of the games when given 20+ touches without Cook. However, he only reached 10 touches in four games all year. He won’t possess any standalone fantasy value unless the Vikings decide to expand his role, but Mattison is still a high-upside stash.

New England Patriots
The Patriots’ decision to roll with Mac Jones over Cam Newton is decidedly good news for the fantasy prospects of New England’s running backs. Nevertheless, this is still a rather convoluted situation, at least when it comes to the team’s primary rusher.

Bill Belichick has talked up Damien Harris as the team’s potential top back, but Belichick rarely gives anything away. His comments are fairly non-committal anyway. Although Harris is certainly the touch favorite entering the season, his grasp on that role could be tenuous from week to week.

If Belichick and Josh McDaniels go away from Harris at any point, they’ve got interesting options. Fourth-round rookie and preseason star Rhamondre Stevenson has drawn comparisons inside the building to LaGarrette Blount. Second-year back J.J. Taylor has also had a big camp and could factor into the equation, too.

The most stable role in the Patriots backfield is the same place it’s always been: James White. White’s fantasy production took a sizable dip with Newton under center last season, but he is just one year removed from finishing as a the RB22 during Tom Brady‘s final season in New England. Jones obviously isn’t Brady — nobody is — but his quick, decisive playing style is similar. It should surprise no one if the rookie QB checks down to White early and often.

New Orleans Saints
There is little mystery about how Sean Payton wants to use Alvin Kamara. He will be the engine of the entire offense, especially with Michael Thomas sidelined. The fact that Jameis Winston has won the starting job over Taysom Hill is also good news for Kamara, as QBs who like to take off and run simply do not target their running backs as often as traditional drop-back passers.

The real mystery in the New Orleans backfield had been who would play the complementary role to Kamara, but we finally got our answer. Latavius Murray had filled that role over the last two seasons, but the 31-year-old reportedly looked sluggish in camp. After refusing to take a pay cut, he got his walking papers. That opens the door wide open for undrafted free agent Tony Jones, who looked explosive enough this preseason to earn the number two job.

It could be a lucrative role for fantasy managers if history is any guide. Over the last two seasons, Murray managed to provide solid weekly RB3/flex value with RB1 upside if Kamara missed time. Now Jones has that potential, making him a worthwhile stash in just about all fantasy leagues.

New York Giants
Saquon Barkley played in just two games in 2020 before suffering a season-ending ACL tear, and he is still in the final steps of his recovery with the new season upon us. Although it’s not official yet, Barkley is expected to play in Week 1. The Giants will also likely ease him into action after a long layoff. That would mean a fair amount of Devontae Booker over the season’s first few weeks.

While Barkley should be one of the league’s bigger bell cows once he proves he is fully healthy, the Giants’ team contexts may hold him back from providing elite fantasy value. Given Barkley’s injury history — he also missed time with a high-ankle sprain in 2019 — Booker could be called to action again later in the year. However, he won’t be a great stash if the G-Men are struggling offensively.

New York Jets
The Jets appear headed toward a three-man committee to begin the year, with Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, and rookie Michael Carter all vying for touches.

Coleman will likely be the honorary Week 1 “starter” due to his veteran presence, but he is the least likely of the trio to run away with the job. While Carter has received the vast majority of the hype in fantasy circles, Johnson may actually be best positioned to stake his claim to lead back duties, at least initially, while Carter plays more of a third-down/change of pace role.

This situation is fluid, and the Jets will probably go with a hot-hand approach.

Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles never settled on a single feature back under Doug Pederson, and that may not change under new head coach Nick Sirianni. Philadelphia running backs coach Jamel Singleton has downplayed the idea of an “every-down” back. One Eagles beat writer speculated in early August that Miles Sanders and Boston Scott could “end up basically splitting touches,” while another recently reported that rookie Kenneth Gainwell “is really carving out a significant role for himself.”

Time will tell. All three backs are capable as both rushers and pass-catchers, so this situation could be messy if the snaps are truly split three ways. Sanders is still the favorite to lead the backfield in touches, but there’s not a lot of distance right now between him and his competitors.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin loves having a bell-cow back, but he didn’t have anyone capable of taking on the job last year. That changed the minute the Steelers spent their first-round pick on Alabama rookie Najee Harris, who instantly becomes one of the favorites to lead the position in touches this season.

Harris will play a true every-down role, meaning his backup is purely a stash. Right now, it’s hard to know who that backup is. The number two job was likely to go to second-year pro Anthony McFarland, but a trip to short-term IR for an undisclosed injury scraps those plans. That leaves Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage as the main contenders, at least until McFarland returns. Considering the utter lack of standalone value, there is little need to roster any Steelers running back besides Harris until we get more clarity on this situation.

Seattle Seahawks
After re-upping with Seattle this offseason, Chris Carson is locked in as the Seahawks’ primary runner and a high-end RB2.

Carson’s violent rushing style tends to get him dinged up — he’s missed two-four games each of the last three years — so his backup is always worth keeping tabs on given Seattle’s run-heavy approach. That job has gone to 2018 first-round pick Rashaad Penny in the years past, but Alex Collins outplayed Penny this preseason and may have surpassed him on the depth chart. Week 1 will tell the tale.

San Francisco 49ers
Kyle Shanahan’s team is always one of the first places you want to look for fantasy backs, and this year is no different. Raheem Mostert suffered three different leg injuries during the 2020 season, but he was incredible when on the field, rushing at a 1,000-yard pace and averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He is widely considered the fastest running back in the league and should lead the 49ers’ rushing attack to begin 2021.

Mostert has never been an every-down back, and that’s not about to change in his age-29 season. The 49ers spent a third-round pick on versatile back Trey Sermon, who should immediately slot into a significant weekly role. Both Mostert and Sermon have RB2 potential in Shanahan’s offense, though it may be safer to view them as high-end RB3/flex types for the time being. Sermon’s role could grow as the season progresses, especially if Mostert suffers another injury.

One wild card is Jeff Wilson Jr., who had two 100-yard games and 10 total touchdowns in limited duty last season. Wilson underwent surgery in May to repair a torn meniscus and will begin the season on the PUP list, but he could be a fantasy factor in the second half of the season. Sixth-round pick Elijah Mitchell isn’t a lock to be active on game days to begin the year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It’s easy to see the fantasy upside the Bucs’ juggernaut offense presents, but it could be tough figuring out who will blow up in any given week. That’s especially true for their running backs. Ronald Jones was a strong weekly option for most of the 2020 season, finishing 22nd at the position in fantasy scoring. However, Tampa Bay phased him out in favor of Leonard Fournette during its Super Bowl run.

Deciding whether to trust Jones or Fournette is tough enough, but there’s now another wrinkle. The Bucs signed ex-Bengal Giovani Bernard to play the passing down role that Tom Brady perfected with James White in New England. That is great news for Tampa Bay, but it’s yet another headache for fantasy managers.

While Bernard may have PPR flex appeal, the bigger question is how he’ll affect Jones and Fournette. Until we see how Bruce Arians plays his hand, it’s impossible to trust either one as an RB2. For now, consider Jones and Fournette boom-or-bust RB3s with ample upside.

Tennessee Titans
Derrick Henry led all running backs in rushing attempts by a healthy margin last season, and he’s a good bet to do it again in 2021. After finishing as the RB3 in 2019 and RB2 in 2020 in 0.5 PPR formats, Henry deserves strong consideration as the second running back off the board in fantasy drafts despite his limited pass-catching role.

Behind Henry, the Titans have very little. His expected top backup, 2020 third-rounder Darrynton Evans, recently went on IR with a knee injury. That leaves Jeremy McNichols, Mekhi Sargent, and Khari Blasingame as the potential “next man up.” Truth be told, there is no one else on Tennessee’s roster capable of playing an every-down role, let alone coming close to Henry’s production. This is not a great place to look for bench stashes.

Washington Football Team
A wide receiver in college before getting drafted in the third round, Antonio Gibson impressively produced low-end RB1 numbers in just 14 games. He accomplished that feat during his rookie season while playing a rather minimal role in Washington’s passing game.

Whether Gibson takes on a bigger receiver role is one of the big questions. There has been talk in camp that he could take on a Christian McCaffrey-like role in 2021, but J.D. McKissic has remained the team’s primary third-down back in preseason action. McKissic led all running backs in targets last year and finished second to Alvin Kamara in catches, signaling his potential RB3/flex viability if he maintains that role this season. If that role goes to Gibson, a top-five fantasy finish is entirely in reach.

If you’re looking to handcuff Gibson, McKissic isn’t your guy. Gibson’s true backup for early-down work is Jaret Patterson, an undrafted free agent who showed enough this preseason to convince the Football Team to part with Peyton Barber at final cuts.
