Barkley is headed into free agency this offseason, so his Fantasy value could change dramatically if he leaves the Giants.
But if he stays, that is ideal, he’ll be with a great coach in Brian Daboll and an offensive line increasing.
He’ll also be just 26, so another season of standout production is well at your fingertips.
These rankings are certain to get altered a lot between now and August, especially once free agency and the NFL Draft are done, and we’ll adjust to news since it happens.
We’re also going to change our minds on players as we continue to do analysis throughout the offseason.
BackCAST, however, feels that they are overrated and projects them both to possess roughly half the production of the

Although some scouts underrated Taylor, BackCAST — Football Outsiders’ system for projecting running backs — identified Taylor as a potential star.
In accordance with BackCAST, Taylor was not another Wisconsin running back due to fail but a stellar prospect having an unusual blend of size, speed and college production.
For me and Chris, we both have Pollard and Stevenson inside our top 12.
With Pollard, who just averaged a career-high 15.6 PPR points per game, I’m hoping he re-signs with Dallas as a free of charge agent and the Cowboys move ahead from Ezekiel Elliott.

Monitor camp reports revolving around the Baltimore Ravens run game.
Alvin Kamara would clearly be higher with this list or even for an impending suspension.
Early speculation points to a potential six-game suspension for Kamara.
The direction of the Saint’s offense also provides some concern.
Some fantasy owners could be cautious with Saquon Barkley entering the 2022 season.
You will never have the ability to draft Saquon Barkley this low ever again.
Historically, the running back position has been paramount throughout Fantasy Football.

I’m uncertain his receptions will rebound in 2023, which is why he’s beyond your top 12 for me.
When we get to No. 5 is when things begin to change in our rankings.
Adam and Heath have Mixon there, me and Dave have Walker and Chris has Jacobs.
And following one playoff game in the wild-card round, Adam Aizer already moved Saquon Barkley ahead of Jonathan Taylor.

We know that the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA 49ers will run the ball as effectively as any team in the NFL.
Elijah Mitchell won’t offer much upside in the passing game, but he should provide low-end RB2 production regularly.
Travis Etienne Jr. offers the type of pass-catching profile fantasy managers covet.
I imagine the Jaguars will be chasing in almost all their games, which should benefit the fantasy production for Travis Etienne.

Even better for value-seeking teams, Hall’s projected draft position is low relative to a back along with his degree of talent.
Scouts Inc., for example, currently rates Hall as the 46th-best prospect and only the second-highest-rated running back, behind Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III.
For example, a running back with a plus-50% BackCAST is projected to gain 50% more yards compared to the “average” drafted running back.
BackCAST also projects whether each running back may very well be heavily involved in the receiving game or is more of a “ground-and-pound” back.
Any kind of underrated running back prospects in the 2022 NFL draft who’ve superstar potential?
Fortunately for running-back-needy teams, the answer is “yes,” with this particular year’s running back prospects highlighted by Iowa State’s Hall.

He averaged 22.2 PPR points per game in his final 10 games in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, including five outings with at the very least 25 PPR points.
Hall, despite his heavy workload in the running game, also contributed substantially to the Cyclones’ passing attack, catching 82 passes for 734 yards.
Although he comes short of Taylor’s titanic projection, that’s like losing to Michael Jordan in a slam dunk contest — no shame there.
Hall has the fourth-highest BackCAST projection ever, falling behind only Taylor, Ricky Williams and Saquon Barkley.

Color Schemes

Saquon Barkley all have first-round potential, but their landing spot will play an enormous role in determining their future fantasy value.

• If he didn’t run at the combine, BackCAST uses his pro day time.
• Hall gets the fourth-highest BackCAST projection of all time, falling behind only Taylor, Ricky Williams and Saquon Barkley.
• The direction of the Saint’s offense also provides some concern.
• And Stevenson could benefit in a large way if Damien Harris leaves New England as a free agent.
• Cook ran a 40-yard dash at 4.42 seconds, which is fast, but not particularly fast for a new player as light as Cook.

I’m more worried about Cook, who will be 28 and just had a down season in 2022 at 14.0 PPR points per game.
That’s his worst season since 2018, and it’s really hard to depend on him rebounding to a higher level in 2023.
But also for now, here’s the initial look at the top 12 running backs for 2023 from Adam Aizer, Heath Cummings, Dave Richard, Chris Towers and myself.
Start your prep work now — and hopefully win a championship this year.

Heath and I are the most worried about Henry, who is ranked No. 9 for both folks.
Like Kelce, they are significant difference makers, and you want those kinds of stars on your own Fantasy team.
Knowing that, here are the first top 24 PPR rankings for 2023 from Adam Aizer, Heath Cummings, Dave Richard, Chris Towers and myself.
