If you're drafting a fantasy football team this year, this is the ultimate running back

ranking video that will help you dominate your draft.

Because I'll be ranking my top 36 running backs for fantasy football this year based on what actually matters. Now, if you're not familiar, I'm Sal Vetri. I've been helping people win their leagues for eight years, and I'm here to do the same for you in this video, help you win your draft. And we'll begin in Tier 1 with my first four running backs in the rankings and in Tier 1,

Sequin Bargelly, Bejohn Robinson, Jamir, Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey.

Really not a lot of shocking things here. I mean, Sequan Barclay, he led the league in carries in rushing yards, had 2,300 total yards last year, continue to dominate from a touchdown in red zone perspective, despite his own quarterback having 14 rushing touchdowns. Now we've showed this tweet before, but Seacom was the most dominant running back last year with runs of 10 plus yards, 20, 30, 40, 50,

50, 60 yards. He was as explosive as it got. And people want to say, oh, but he almost had 500

total touches. Is it his fault? He was so good to become a workhorse and his team was so good

that they got all the way into the Super Bowl. I'm not going to hold that against him. I think he gets another 300 to the 350 plus touches. Now, the next running back in my rankings is Bejohn Robinson because

this is a guy who last year from week six on, if we pull up RotoViz's game split tools right here, over those final 12 weeks, he pulled away from Tyler Algear in his backfield, and he started averaging 22.8 fantasy points per game.

This led all running backs. He had top three usage when it came to rushing yards with almost

98 rushing yards per game and also receiving production from a yards per route run standpoint from a target share perspective. He was up there those final 12 weeks as like a borderline RB1 overall. And the thing Bijan has going for him is you can see right here he's just 23, 23 and a half years old right now. So he kind of has everything. He has the balance of the receiving production like a Jamir Gibbs, the work course role like a Derek Henry. But he's still younger than Sequin, then McCaffrey, then Henry, right? He does still have that youth on his side and the explosiveness. The one concern would be, is Michael Penning's going to be good? He was good this final three games of last year when Bijjohn was averaging two touchdowns a game with Penix, but that was a small three game sample. That is the one concern why Bejohn is in my RB1. And my RB3 in tier three is janeer Gibbs because I mean this dude literally last year2, the number two running back in fantasy behind

Sequin Barkley, despite splitting a backfield with David Montgomery, which is absolutely insane,

but based off all the reports of this camp, it's looking like Gibbs is going to have a

bigger role with the new offensive coordinator there. You can see Adam Levittan's tweet,

despite the past catching skills, Jamir Gibbs saw just 3.7 targets per game last year,

but now you can see there's reports that are happening right here in the highlighted tweets.

I believe this is from the Athletic.

They've been saying, I've seen the lines running back. Gibbs start in the backfield, motion into the slot. I've seen him start in the slot lineup at running back. He's running wheel routes, Texas Shouts, quick slants, and more. All that to say is these beat reporters who have been there the past couple of years when Gibbs has been there are now saying like he's seeing significantly more passing game usage.

And as you can see from this report right here, this is from, I believe, Top One Fantasy on Instagram. They said Gibbs was getting much more reps with the first team offense in the early parts of camp than David Montgomery in the new John Morton offense with Ben Johnson not there. It was a 75-25 split in terms of distribution. That is jarring. I don't think he's going to see 75% of the snaps this year. But even if it goes from 55 to like 60 to 65, RB1 overall upside. And number one overall upside is what my RB4 has here in Christian McCaffrey in Tier 1 because yes, 2024 was rocky. He was hurt. But now he's healthy, and let me remind you, in his last four healthy seasons, here's what McCaffrey averages. 350 touches per season, over 2,000 total yards per season, and 24 fantasy points per game. That's insane. 24 and a half fantasy points per game is what he was averaging, which is like two to three points more than Seekwon had last year in his amazing season. And of course, we know Christian McCaffrey is going to remain in a very good offense. And as you can see right here from Ian Hartett's tweet, Christian McCaffrey currently in terms of easiest running back schedules in the NFL is third on the list for the third easiest running back schedule. He doesn't have Debo, doesn't have Jordan Mason. Brandon Hurt, the offense is going to once again run through Christian McCaffrey. Okay, so that does it for my tier one of running backs.

Now let's get into tier two where it's my RB5 Aschenjty, then six Derek Henry, seven Devon

H.N and eight Jonathan Taylor.

We'll start with Ascenti because this is a guy last year who broke 106 tackles in college.
