Fantasy football rankings: Eric Karabell's RB tiers
Mike Clay explains his level of trust in Bijan Robinson for fantasy this season. (0:49)
Full-season fantasy football rankings play a critical role in what we do here at ESPN, but sometimes they lack some bigger-picture context.
Is one running back, perhaps ranked one spot higher than another one, considerably better than that player? Myriad fantasy managers wisely have turned to a tiered ranking system for drafts and salary cap formats to better evaluate positional value, because sometimes there is a rather large drop-off in perceived quality, and supply and demand matters.

Matthew Berry’s 100 Facts You Need To Know Before You Draft in 2025
Let’s start, as we often do, with a simple question.
Your draft is likely in the next few weeks and you gotta have some strong running backs, so let’s do some research.
I’m going to tell you about two running backs that are being drafted in the same round and I want you to read the analysis and tell me which RB you’d rather have…
“Running Back A” is just an absolute fantasy superstar. A consistent producer who spent nine different weeks as a top 12 RB last year. Only Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, and Bijan Robinson had more weeks as a “RB1” last season. Obviously, you know about his passing game role and his explosiveness, as “Running Back A” averages 9.1 yards per reception for his career. That’s the second highest average among RBs with 100+ targets in the last three seasons. But it’s not just his work in the passing game. Our guy is a scoring machine. A true finisher at the goal line. You’d probably not be shocked to learn he was top five in the NFL in goal-to-go carries and had double-digit scores last season. Still just 25, his underlying numbers keep popping. Coming off a year where he set career highs for yards after contact per rush and broken tackle rate, plus improved his yards per carry average from the season prior, it’s clear “Running Back A” is ready to take another leap this season.
