RB Rankings 2023

It’s funny, a position that is notoriously valued by fantasy managers, ironically is devalued by general managers. For years, RB’s have been a foundation for fantasy teams most managers wouldn’t think twice about taking one in the first round of every fantasy draft, no matter the position. But with more and more NFL GM’s unwilling to pay a premium price for RB’s, we are finally starting to see the effect it has on fantasy football.

There is no secret, the NFL is a pass dominant league. Last year we saw just as many WR’s as to RB’s get drafted in the 1st round of fantasy drafts, and this year there’s likely to be more. Between more teams electing to use committees and the injury risk at the position, RB’s just don’t hold the first round value they used to in fantasy football.

Now that’s not to say they don’t have value at all. RB’s are still the most valuable and crucial position in fantasy football, no doubt. But with the depth at the position from committees, you can get away with not spending a first round pick on a RB, for sure. Obviously there are certain guys like CMC, Ekeler, and even Saquon that still hold superb first round value, but it’s important not to feel pressure to reach for a RB in the first round because it’s the unwritten rule you’ve always followed.

With that being said, the so called “RB dead zone” in rounds 3-6 straight up doesn’t exist this year. With the depth at the position you can find some of the best RB value in the mid-high rounds, so you can focus on drafting that stud WR, or dare I say QB, early and still be Gucci. Trust the process.
