In some dynasty leagues, you’re allowed to adjust your roster right up until the end of the regular season. With that in mind, I’ll post my version of the top 100 running backs – not for 2019, but with the next few years in mind.
I trend towards to the younger guys on this list. If two guys look similar in value, I will go with the player who’s a few years younger. The oldest player in my top 20 at this position is 26-year-old Melvin Gordon.
Four rookies in the top 20, and they’re flagged with black dots – Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery, Miles Sanders and Devin Singletary.
