Welcome to the 2020 Fantasy Six Pack Fantasy Football Running Back Depth Chart!
Prior to setting your weekly lineups, make sure you take a look at our updated Running Back Depth Chart. Throughout the 2020 season, we will provide weekly updates based on injury news and hierarchy changes for each NFL team.
Scroll down for the explanation of our 2020 Running Back Depth Chart breakdown.
Running Back Depth Chart Category Breakdown
- Starting Back(s): These are the running backs who are most likely to start each game for their team. Please note that this does not always mean that running back will get the most touches.
- Handcuff(s): These are players who are likely to take over if the starter comes out of the game for any reason. They are especially valuable to target if a starter suffers a major injury.
- Receiving Back(s): These are the players who are likely to get the bulk of the work in the passing game. These backs are good to own/stash in PPR/Half-PPR leagues.
- Goal Line Back(s): These players are likely to get the bulk of the carries near the goal line. They tend to hold added value due to their knack for finding the end zone.
- RBBC: Teams implementing a Running Back By Committee approach are marked with an asterisk (*). These teams will have multiple running backs listed in the “Starting Back(s)” column.
