The 2024 NFL season is less than six weeks away, meaning fantasy players are putting together their fantasy rankings.
While Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs will be first-round picks in most fantasy football leagues, there are several other talented options for fantasy players at the running back position.
Isiah Pacheco, Kenneth Walker III, and Zamir White won’t be top-20 picks in 2024 fantasy football drafts. However, they are solid options for fantasy players. Let’s dive into their 2024 outlooks.

Isiah Pacheco 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
While he is a former seventh-round NFL Draft pick, Pacheco has been a solid fantasy running back. The former Rutgers star was the RB16, averaging 13.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in 2023. He had 205 rushing attempts for 935 yards and seven touchdowns, all career highs. Furthermore, Pacheco had 44 receptions on 49 targets for 244 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Fantasy players should expect similar production in 2024.

Kenneth Walker III 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Walker was the RB19 last year despite missing a few games with injuries, averaging 12.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The explosive runner had 219 rushing attempts for 905 yards and eight touchdowns despite playing behind a banged-up offensive line. Thankfully, the Seattle Seahawks improved their offensive line this offseason, giving Walker a chance to have a third-year breakout.
Kenneth Walker III's second TD!
Just like that, we're tied in Detroit.

Zamir White 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
The Las Vegas Raiders never gave White a chance until Josh Jacobs got hurt late last season. He was outstanding as the starter. The former Georgia Bulldog averaged 99.3 rushing yards and 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the final four weeks despite scoring only one touchdown. White is a popular breakout candidate after the Raiders didn’t add a big-name running back in the offseason.

Who Should I Draft?
Fantasy players should love to draft all three running backs this year. However, Pacheco is the best of the trio. He plays for the best offense and is the only one that could have a role on third downs. Meanwhile, Walker is the second-best option, with White ranking third. Yet, all three running backs are in my top 24 and should be weekly starters for fantasy players in 2024.
