"wow this 2023 rb class is actually kinda mid" . just say you haven't paid any attention to these guys since you heard they were all goated three years ago and you've now decided that zach evans doesn't have a high enough dominator rating for you.

derrius guice is less than a year older than at least one rb in this class. he was a better prospect than all but one of them, and heās already proven to be good in the nfl. heās not currently on a team, neither are they. he should be drafted ahead of a lot of them in startups rn.

mo ibrahim was listed at 5ā10 and 210 lbs at minnesota. he measured in at the shrine bowl at 5ā7 1/2 and 203 lbs. if you liked devin singletary but wished he had twice as much experience and half as many receptions when he got to the league as he did, youāre gonna love ibrahim.

at rb2, cmc is being priced as if heās going to stay healthy. last time he was healthy, he averaged 29.5 + 24.1 ppg. JT put up 22 ppg last year and is being drafted as the rb1. if weāre assuming cmc is healthy (which we clearly are), how do we justify not having him at rb1?.

little known fact:. of all the college running backs who werenāt high-volume receivers, kenneth walker is the only one who was simply on a team that didnāt utilize running backs in the passing game. he alone got screwed by coaching while secretly being a great receiver.

my favorite anti-etienne argument is that heās going to be competing with james robinson who will definitely be back healthy by week one because did you see how fast cam akers was able to come back and average two yards per carry.

i keep thinking about breece hall suddenly being a legitimate downfield receiving weapon after being treated like a swing pass specialist in college and itās difficult to overstate how good he can be in fantasy given that development.

if youāre selling the 22-year old freak show tight end who put up 1k yards as a rookie with a washed up qb on a terrible team and is now experiencing disappointing fantasy numbers while earning elite air yards totals with an even shittier qb, youāre bad at dynasty.

idk who needs to hear this but zach evans is not 195 pounds. he was most recently listed at 6ā 215 at ole miss, was listed at 5ā11 212 at tcu as a sophomore, and (based on historical data) will likely be in the 5ā10-11 and 215-220 range at the combine.

breece hall is seeing a ton of usage in the passing game. given his receiving profile at iowa state, my assumption (i haven't watched any jets games, c'mon now) was that much of that work was coming on screens, swing passes, checkdowns, etc. pleasantly surprised to be very wrong.

antonio gibson is the perfect example of a guy who checks the basic āwe want our rbs to be big and athletic and catch passesā boxes but then makes us forget that thereās another big box called āreliably plays rb in a way that inspires confidence from an nfl coaching staffā.
šØ STOP DRAFTING ANTONIO GIBSON šØ. -JD McKissic the preferred option on 3rd downs.-3rd round pick Brian Robinson just had 1,343 rush yards + 35 receptions + 16 TDs at Alabama in 2021. -Gibson is 2 (!!) injuries away š from winning you your league.

iām not very enthusiastic about ceh either but if everyone is sour on him because heās been disappointing so far in his career then they need to wake up and realize that the other guys in this backfield are RONALD JONES AND JERICK MCKINNON.

here are 36 running backs in this rookie class, sorted by the portion of their total yards that were gained in the open field (10+ yards beyond the line of scrimmage). also listed is how often they reached the open field relative to their teammates:

220 pounds at 5'8 4/8" is obviously unbelievably rocked up for a normal person, but it's also notably dense for an nfl running back prospect. as far as i can tell, davis would be the heaviest sub-5'9 rb drafted in the last 15+ years if this weight holds through the combine.
