Updated Running Back Half-PPR Fantasy Football Rankings (2024)

Travis Etienne Jr. fantasy football rankings draft sleepers running backs

The running back position has changed dramatically over the last few seasons, and these changes have shifted how ball carriers are approached in fantasy football. With most teams opting to use a committee of backs, the first round of fantasy drafts is now dominated by wide receivers. This means star workhorse running backs are available later than ever before, and knowing which players to target is key.

These running back half-PPR draft rankings are a consensus by NFL lead analysts Nick Mariano, Scott Engel, and Brandon Murchinson. Before the rankings, you'll also see some recent fantasy football news and important NFL headlines for RBs, all of which are accounted for within these updated half-PPR draft rankings. Below, you will find out where players such as Breece Hall, Derrick Henry, Kyren Williams, De'Von Achane, Zamir White, Chase Brown, Tyjae Spears, Blake Corum, Rico Dowdle, and more rank this preseason.

Our RB half-PPR rankings are tweaked all preseason long, so bookmark the fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates. In addition to these draft rankings, be sure to also check out our team's fantasy football articles and analysis – they discuss draft sleepers, busts, NFL players to target and avoid, NFL rookies in the best landing spots, and so much more. Most importantly, our brand new free mobile app is a must-have – download it and configure your notifications.
