TOP TARGETS: RUNNING BACK

Breaking down my favorite running back in each tier for the 2022 fantasy football season.

By Brandon Lane

UPPER-TIER

Derrick Henry

Prior to his injury last season Henry was on pace to finish as the №1 RB in fantasy and despite missing half the season he still finished RB14. While many in the industry are fading the 28yo with worries of him breaking down, I’m not there yet.

ADP: RB4 • CHUBZBURGER RANK: RB2

MID-TIER

Cam Akers

In my opinion Akers returned too soon from Achilles tear that cost him most of the 2021 season compiling just 135 yds on 72 carries in five games. I’m callin’ a comeback! He’s the feature back on one of the top offenses in the league.

ADP: RB18 • CHUBZBURGER RANK: RB14

VALUE-TIER

Ken Walker III

Selected in the 2nd round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Walker has the skill-set to be a superstar. In a Pete Carroll run-first offense I project Walker to see a lot of work even if he is competing with Rashaad Penny.

ADP: RB37 CHUBZBURGER RANK: RB27
