My off-season PPR dynasty rankings gaze into the future with a two-year emphasis. As the season begins, a more narrow approach to the rankings will occur as we try to win a championship. Positional dynamics play an important factor. We know that running backs tend to have shorter careers while top flight quarterbacks can stick in the league for 10-plus seasons.

Other considerations include age, contract situation, durability, consistency, supporting cast and more.

COMMENTS
  Christian McCaffrey, SF: Ideal spot for CMac's fantasy value.

  Bijan Robinson, ATL: Unique talent with new coaching staff.

  Breece Hall, NYJ: Played in every game despite 2022 ACL injury. Only 20+ carries three times.

  Jahmyr Gibbs, DET: One of the best backs in the league. Will share time with Montgomery.

  Jonathan Taylor, IND: Got his deal but has played in just 22 games the last two seasons.

  James Cook, BUF: Explosive, gets there on efficiency.

  De'Von Achane, MIA: Explosive, but injuries are a concern as well as crowded RB room.

  Travis Etienne, JAC: 12 TDs in 2023 but sounds like JAX want fewer touches for their lead back.

  Kyren Williams, LAR: Workhorse role when healthy.

  Kenneth Walker, SEA: Lead back when healthy but loses work to Charbonnet.

  Saquon Barkley, PHI: Philadelphia landing spot seems positive.

  Isiah Pacheco, KC: Moved into the lead-back role in 2023.

  Rachaad White, TB: Usage in 2023 was ideal. Lacks explosiveness as a runner.

  Josh Jacobs, GB: Couldn't repeat 2022 season as offense sputtered.

  Jonathon Brooks, CAR: ACL injury in November. Could split work in Year 1.

  Trey Benson, ARI: Should easily be the No.2 behind Conner in rookie year.

D'Andre Swift, CHI: Crowded backfield in CHI.

  Tyjae Spears, TEN: Will now share workload with Pollard. Two ACL injuries.

  Javonte Williams, DEN: Averaged just 3.6 ypc in Denver's weak offense.

  Joe Mixon, HOU: Now the lead-back for a rising Texans' offense.

  Tony Pollard, TEN: Seemed to struggle as the lead back in 2023.

  Zamir White, LV: Big off-season winner with Jacobs now in Green Bay.

  Zach Charbonnet, SEA: Decent rookie season could lead to more opportunity in Year 2.

  David Montgomery, DET: Should keep the same 2023 role, sharing time with Gibbs.

  Derrick Henry, BAL: Good landing spot for the veteran RB.

  MarShawn Lloyd, GB: May be difficult to find a role behind Jacobs.

  Aaron Jones, MIN: Disappointing 2023 but finished with five-straight 100-yd rushing games.

  Rhamondre Stevenson, NE: Disappointing 2023, but likely to retain lead-back role in 2024.

  Blake Corum, LAR: Will McVay continue to feature one RB or will Corum force his hand?

Jaylen Warren, PIT: Cutting into Najee's workload.

  Chase Brown, CIN: May be splitting work with Moss in 2024.

  Najee Harris, PIT: Three-straight 1000-yd seasons but sharing time with Warren.

Jaylen Wright, MIA: Another speedy RB for the Dolphins. Crowded RB room.

  Austin Ekeler, WAS: Took a step back in 2023. Lands in Washington for 2024.

  Nick Chubb, CLE: Stud. Brutal knee injury in 2023.

Kendre Miller, NO: Having trouble staying on the field.

  Alvin Kamara, NO: Saints appear to be sticking with Kamara for 2024.

  Brian Robinson Jr., WAS: Worked in the lead-back role in 2023.

  Devin Singletary, NYG: Should be lead-back for the Giants in 2024.

  Raheem Mostert, MIA: Led all RBs in TDs in 2023. Timeshare in Miami. 32 years old.

  James Conner, ARI: Volume hog when healthy.

  Bucky Irving, TB: Similar strengths to White. Committee RB?

  Zack Moss, CIN: Will work in tandem with Chase Brown.

  Ray Davis, BUF: Big-back complement to Cook. Already 24 years old.

Jerome Ford, CLE: Workload will increase if Chubb can't regain form.

  Chuba Hubbard, CAR: Should retain his lead-back role heading into 2024.

  Ty Chandler, MIN: Got an opportunity in 2023. Can he build in 2024?

  Kimani Vidal, LAC: Could have value if Dobbins can't regain form.

  Tyrone Tracy Jr., NYG: Weak RB room is a plus.

  Gus Edwards, LAC: Should have goaline opportunities with Chargers.

  Miles Sanders, CAR: Lost his starting job to Hubbard in 2023.

  Tyler Allgeier, ATL: Likely to see a reduction in volume moving forward.

  Isaac Guerendo, SF: Crowded backfield in SF. No.2 role in 2025?

  Khalil Herbert, CHI: Could be a three-man RBBC in CHI.

  Roschon Johnson, CHI: The youngest of the three Chicago backs.

  Jaleel McLaughlin, DEN: Got some juice. RB2 behind Javonte.

  Dylan Laube, LV: Receiving skills could equate to PPR value.

  Tank Bigsby, JAC: Lost the backup job in 2023.

  Braelon Allen, NYJ: Landing spot isn't great for fantasy value.

  Ezekiel Elliott, DAL: Reunion with Dallas.

  D'Onta Foreman, CLE: Moves to Cleveland as Chubb insurance.

  Keaton Mitchell, BAL: Late-season knee injury will limit his 2024 season.

  AJ Dillon, GB: Packers not as reliant on the run. Jacobs in town.

  J.K. Dobbins, LAC: Achilles injury on 9/10/23.

  Dameon Pierce, HOU: Lost his starting job in 2023.

  Will Shipley, PHI: Likely a committee back even if Barkley gets hurt.

  Elijah Mitchell, SF: Injuries remain an issue.

  Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC: Sticking in KC for 2024.

  Alexander Mattison, LV: Will have to settle for a timeshare.

  Kenneth Gainwell, PHI: Not a priority in the Eagles offense.

  Isaiah Spiller, LAC: New coaching staff could overhaul RB room.

  Jeff Wilson, MIA: Timeshare in Miami.
