The Giants are already “managing Saquon Barkley’s workloads” in training camp, which leads you to believe they’re going to pound the ball with him early and often in the 2018 NFL season. Here is a look at our Running back RB Fantasy football rankings list with a deeper look at Saquon Barkley Sony Michel and others. It is incredibly rare that a running back is drafted in the top three of the NFL Draft in this running back hating day and age. But there is a reason why the Giants tabbed Barkley – he is that damn good. So good that he is the third best RB on our board.
At the top, we again go with LeVeon Bell as he is a model of consistency in the fantasy world. He is a lock to again be a top 5 fantasy performer. One thing to keep in mind is that this is the season that Bell is truly fighting for his next contract. Getting that big payday is the ultimate for Bell and if he has a subpar season he can kiss that Todd Gurley-esque contract goodbye. Not fair, but that is the way it works in the NFL.
Patriots RB Sony Michel is a sleeper to watch as he will take over the Dion Lewis role in the Pats offense. The Pats relied heavily on Lewis down the stretch of last season, and the fact that the Pats used a first round pick on him in this past draft raised some eyebrows. Could Bill Belichick finally be going back to a featured back-type offense after all these years? We have him here in the top 30, well ahead of most other outlets’ rankings.
The guy is usually ahead of league trends, so it’s entirely possible. Here are our latest rankings.
