Outside of Elliott, where do you think these guys will rank next year around this time?

Devontae Booker
Jordan Howard
CJ Prosise
Paul Perkins
Kenyan Drake
Robert Kelley
Johnathan Williams
Wendell Smallwood

[Westy22]

1. Howard
2. Henry
3. Prosise

5. Dixon
6. Kelley
7. Perkins

In terms of overall or just between them? If I were to put them into tiers:

Tier 1:
Zeke Elliott

Zeke has shown that he can be put in a tier with the best RBs. His talent+OLine combo should make im a stud for years to come

Tier 2:
Derrick Henry

I was a big fan of Henry going into the draft and I think he has the potential to be a stud once Murray is gone

Tier 3:
Jordan Howard

Has shown some good talent and put up some nice numbers. Not sure if he will be a RB1, but certainly looks like he can be an RB2 at the least

Tier 4:
CJ Prosise
Kenneth Dixon

Not sure if either guy will get the opportunity to carry a full workload, but can be an effective change of pace type back. Should excel in PPR leagues

Tier 5:
Devontae Booker
Robert Kelley

Still not sold on Kelley to be honest. Also not a fan of Broncos RBs. Nobody seems to be able to get a handle on the lead back job.

Tier 6:
Paul Perkins
Kenyan Drake
Johnathan Williams
Wendell Smallwood

Tier 6 are mainly guys who havent had much opportunity to show what they have. Or at least enough to make a solid opinion. I was a big fan of Perkins and Williams going into the draft and would love to see them get a shot at more touches.

Derrick Henry
Devontae Booker
Jordan Howard
CJ Prosise
Kenneth Dixon
Robert Kelley
Dwayne Washington
Johnathan Williams
Wendell Smallwood
Paul Perkins

Drake won't be ranked. IMO.

[BuckeyeNation]

Way too difficult for me to rank them in terms of the entire RB pool, as the landscape will undoubtedly change dramatically with vets falling off or changing teams. Plus of course there's next year's rookie RB crop.

Henry

Howard
Procise
Dixon

Booker
Perkins
Kelley
Smallwood

Williams


Drake

For anyone watching the Washington vs. Philly game, Rob Kelley looks really good. Breaking multiple tackles, juking, hitting holes... impressive stuff.

[People Mover]

Please don't come in here with that nonsense. We have all agreed that Kelley is just a guy and is plodding himself nowhere. No one believes in his talent and the only people saying he looks good are people who own him. We all know the Redskins will draft a back early next season so you are wasting your breath.

You sound like a drunk fool. For one, you obviously weren't watching the game. For two, I have zero shares of Kelley.

How do you KNOW the redskins will draft a back? Show me one source that says they have a need for a RB. In all seriousness, you sound like you're not good at fantasy.

[JoshGordonsDealer]

what's everyones opinion on Dixon for next year? I know its early but do u guys think he'll have the starting job in Baltimore?

It's hard to decide about the starting job, but I don't think the Ravens will draft a back. He's becoming more and more involved in the offense and he seems solid.

I really can't tell if this is a joke. Each sentence of this is either a hilarious cliche played to the nth degree, or it says something about the author they probably wouldn't want said.

The only thing that seems remotely close to the truth is whether the Redskins will (or will not) draft (or sign) a quality RB.

[flyersfan1981]

How anyone can put anyone higher than Jordan Howard (aside from Zeke obviously) is insane to me. I feel those putting Henry above him are only lying to themselves since they drafted him higher.

Did Demarco announce he is retiring end of season and I missed it?

Jordan Howard is the only one other than Zeke who is going to most definitely start next season as the the top RB on their team. Putting anyone above Howard on Dec 11, 2016 is mindless.

I honestly don't see Henry doing well going into the future. Murrays there through 2019. That's three more years of Henry playing backup and yes I know about Murrays injury history but he's a top RB when healthy as he's shown now. Henry will be TD dependent his entire career if he can even get to a starting job. My favorite rookie for next year is howard then Dixon. Prosise in there too. Booker will go back to playing second fiddle to CJA and tbh isn't even that good of a RB when he is the starter. At best next year he'll be in a timeshare like Hillman was.
