We are in the heart of the fantasy football season, and if you're watching this video, you probably have a very important draft coming up soon.

0:05.2

Well, welcome to the right place, because I'm going to give you the ultimate guide for the running back position this year.

0:09.9

We are ranking the top 40 running backs, not now, but right now.

0:12.7

And we start with the guy up top, and it's Christian McCaffrey.

0:15.1

And look, we actually have something new to talk about with Christian McCaffrey because he actually recently was injured. You can see right here, he ends up having a calf strain. Calf strain injury is what his coach says. He's not going to be

0:25.3

playing in the preseason, but they're thinking right now that he's probably going to be playing

0:28.5

week one. And here's the deal with a cap strain. If it's not a serious thing, it should only be

0:31.9

one to two weeks. It's something that has a very low re-injury rate. So McCaffrey should be fine. He's still the number one overall pick. Now next up, I want to talk about Breez Hall, the Jets starting running back, who is currently

0:40.3

having a great camp and now he gets Aaron Rogers back.

0:42.8

But not only that, this is going to be Brise Hall and Aaron Rogers behind a brand new Jets

0:46.0

offensive line.

0:47.0

You can see right here, the PFF has this unit as a top five offensive line in the entire NFL this off season. They were a bottom five unit last

0:54.2

year because they signed Tyron Smith. They traded for Morgan Moses. As you can see right here,

0:58.1

they added a tackle in the draft. They added another, a garden free agency as well. So it's a brand

1:02.7

new starting unit. And this is a guy in Breece Hall who already dominated for 1,600 total

1:06.6

yards last year without that offensive line, without Aaron Rogers coming off of a torn ACL and now all those things have improved. It's another breakout year or another big year for Hall.

1:14.1

Now, a lot of people only have one running back in their tier one. I have three and the third

1:17.4

and final running back in that tier one is going to be Bejean Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons

1:21.1

because as of right now, he's getting all the starter touches in camp and it looks like he's going to have a much larger workload in this new offense. If you're not familiar as a rookie, he had a great season. I mean, if you're looking at

1:29.9

Bejohn-Robinson's season last year, look at his rushing and receiving yards, almost a thousand

1:33.2

rushing yards. You can see right here, his receiving yards about 500. This guy had nearly

1:36.4

1,500 total yards, and the dude was only seeing 12 and a half carries per game. Not a great workload. If you look at his opportunity share last year, he earned just 52% of his team's opportunities, 31st in the NFL, and he put up over 1,500 yards.
