Best Projected NFL Fantasy Running Backs of 2017

The most patience back in the NFL, as long as he stays out of trouble and keeps his positive attitude going it's hard not to pass on somebody explosive as Bell.

If not already mentioned beforehand, David Johnson in many ways reminds me of Barry Sanders by the way he moves. I think he is going to be something special for the Cardinals to look forward to having.

I have him surprisingly low due to the fact for those entering there 2nd year its pretty tough to follow up such a great rookie performance. Same goes for Dak as well.

Zeke can bull over defenders and break a long run. Defenses have to take care of Dak and him.

Ladies and gentleman DeMarco Murray is back, and badder than ever. I was very skeptical on how they would use Murray, but my god is he back to how he'd faired in his Dallas days.

This guy didn't do crap for us. Chip Kelly had a great talent for sucking the life out of decent players.

After a disappointing first year, Melvin bounced back tremendously well. Rivers looked like his old self, and there is life in L.A for now.

His entering in his tail end of his career (most running backs tend to lose speed approaching there 30's), and I can't ignore that if his there then yes I would take em.

He is probably the only Chicago Bears player that I would definitely take a chance for since the Bears have had great history with running backs producing incredibly well.

Coming off a solid year he can be a good pick around late round 2 to round 3 for me. Freeman does have that potential to really resemble Michael Turner which is not a bad thing.

I gotta say of all the Miami players, Ajayi came as a big surprise how well he did towards the mid season of 2016. Last time I saw a Miami running back come to the scene with great upside was Ricky Williams. (no Lamar Miller don't count in my book)

Of the rookie running backs the guy to look for based on line would be McCaffrey. I look at it this way, McCaffrey can be a great vital help to Cam Newton, and that line is actually pretty good expect a few holes, but then compared to the Jags, and what they have is a atrocious line. Why is Fournette high on so many expert rankings? I except him to be terrible his first year, while McCaffrey finds pretty good success his first year.

He can be good enough as a round 3 type of running back, but most will have him going to the second round which alright I just think 3rd round material is best to get Miller if by that point you desperate need decent RB's.

Coming off a very disappointing second year, Gurley may look to bounce back. If he does not then things for the Rams are going to looking grim quickly.

I'm not as high as most experts, but think about this last year I was high for Chris Ivory, and that totally did not work out after realizing how bad that offensive line is. Why would I want Fournette for if his going to produce at best maybe if lucky one 100 yards game while every other game he stumbles because of how awful the offensive line is.

Rookie, but his competing against a pretty good Running back as well in Latavius Murray. Between the two its hard to say who does more.

His had some pretty great games early on in the last two season, but can he stay consistent enough to really show as the only 49er to perhaps gamble on.

A big time risk not only for his weight scare by not losing the pounds, but also Thomas Rawls may split carries with Lacy.

Martin has been very up and down in his career he'll have a great season then he'll have a disappointing season. If you get this pattern then you should know that for how low he is. Its best you have him as a backup, but if your two starting Rb's are by ''committee'' then switch that with Martin, and I kind of like that chance a lot more.

One of the only two Cleveland players last year that actually did more than expected, and his definitely one of the better players on that really atrocious roster they have that needs help.

I mean I know he may not do as well, but he got most of the rushing TD's with Patriots. Now entering Philly what purpose could they serve him? I rather pick a healthy Blount over an injury prone Ryan Matthews.

I don't like the way Green Bay used a WR as there RB is just absurd, but would I say he should be drafted in round 4 or 5 absolutely not. His a risky pick considering I do not see them doing this for long. Another guy I think will slip most people's mind when drafting is Jamaal Williams who I hope makes a good impression just so Packers can use a legitimate running Back, and not flew a Wide Receiver into running the ball and eventually he gets hurt almost every year.

A bit high for a dude that has been proven not exactly worthy yet, bu t the Giants need that spark at running back can Perkins be that guy nobody saw coming this year?
