Dynasty league rankings

LeVeon Bell looks like top long-term running back

I’ve been trying to put together updated dynasty lists. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve done quarterbacks and wide receivers. Now it’s time to turn our attention to running backs.

This is a difficult position, given the huge turnover that’s constantly occurring. Guys like Zac Stacy, Bernard Pierce and Chris Johnson, who were clear-cut No. 1 running backs on their teams at the start of this season, now have nominal value at best. And nobodies constantly show up – Branden Oliver, Isaiah Crowell, Jonas Gray.

Mostly it’s difficult to weigh starter-type guys who are providing some production now (Frank Gore, Steven Jackson, Justin Forsett) against guys who are supposed to put up big numbers in the future (Carlos Hyde, Christine Michael, Knile Davis).

Here’s my stab at the top 100.
