Hello Heat Seekers welcome to episode 83 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast.  I hope that everyone is doing well.  Thanks for being here.

I am in the process of switching the podcast from more of a dynasty focus to a redraft focus.  You may or may not have noticed that my rotoheat.com content has taken the same turn.

The podcast has a name change and soon a new looking logo.  Its now Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast.  I remain an avid dynasty participant and I will always have my 2 cents regarding everything dynasty.  As we navigate through the calendar each year the offseason of this podcast will be very dynasty focused for obvious reason.  The rookie content will be there and as we near the start of the season, this podcast will become more Redraft focused especially during the season. 

In addition we are proud to announce that we will soon be live streaming Monday-Friday at 9:30PM on our YouTube Channel.

Since the start of the 2010 season it has taken on average 219.02 PPR points to finish a season as a top 12 fantasy running back. There are a handful of elite running backs as we enter the 2020 season, and a large group of backs with top 12 upside.

It has been a volatile position over the last few seasons, as we have seen plenty of movement within RB rankings and end of season numbers. While we are not in the bell cow running back days anymore, there are more names starting to get the rock at a steady rate. Predicting RB usage and productivity gets more and more difficult with each passing season.

2020 Redraft Running Back Rankings

Honorable Mentions

16. Aaron Jones – Green Bay Packers

Aaron Jones enjoyed his best season a year ago finishing the season as the second highest scoring RB with 314.8 PPR fantasy points. 2019 was Jones’ first full 16 game season, it was also his first season north of 1000 yards rushing. The number that leaps off the page when looking at Jones’ season from a year ago is the 19 total touchdowns. Those 19 scores were tied for the most in the league with Christian McCaffrey. Jones were almost certainly regress in 2020 from a touchdown and workload perspective.

Green Bay selected AJ Dillon in the draft, and still employ Jamal Williams. The addition of Dillon should impact Jones’ goal line carries and the Packers have a desire of a balanced attack with their running backs. Aaron Jones remains the most talented of the group, and his ability to catch the football will bolster his overall value.

15. Todd Gurley – Atlanta Falcons

Todd Gurley finished 2019 as RB14 with 219.
