Sean Koerner — Fantasy Pros’ 4x Most Accurate Fantasy Football Ranker — breaks down his 2024 Best Ball RB tiers.
We’re days away from the HOF game, teams are in training camp, and we’re just weeks away from the 2024 NFL season kicking off. I’ve already gone through my initial QB, WR, and TE tiers. In this article, I’m breaking down my 2024 running back tiers for Best Ball sites like Underdog Fantasy, DraftKings, and Drafters.
Following my Tier 3 breakdown, you can find a 2023 BBPA (Best Ball Points Added) chart for all running backs, including how often they finished inside the top-12, top-30 and top-45. This is a cool, and hopefully helpful, way to see each running back’s floor/ceiling profile from last season as you prepare to draft your 2024 Best Ball teams. You can also read more about Best Ball Points Added, a fantasy football metric that highlights high-variance fantasy football values specifically for Best Ball formats.
While much of the analysis below is catered to Best Ball, I also recommend using these tiers for your redraft leagues. You can stay on top of all my changes during the preseason by comparing these to my updated fantasy football rankings, which you can find here.
Fantasy Football RB Tiers
Tier 1
- Christian McCaffrey
CMC should be the no-brainer 1st overall pick in every format. He had over 100+ more fantasy points than the RB2 last season.
