We’re underway with the first week of preseason games, prompting an important update on the running back tiers. For tier 3.0, I will list only the players in each tier and note any significant changes.

For a full breakdown of each player, refer to Tiers 1.0 here. You can also find Tiers 2.0 here (full list), Tiers 3.0 here and Tiers 4.0 here.

These rankings are based on Point Per Reception (PPR) scoring, awarding one point for every 10 rushing and receiving yards. Hopefully, these tiers will assist you with drafting decisions this year.

Tier 1

• Bijan Robinson
• Jahmyr Gibbs
• Christian McCaffrey
• Saquon Barkley
• De’Von Achane has dropped to Tier 2 due to a calf injury. More updates to follow.

Tier 2

• Derrick Henry
• Ashton Jeanty
• De’Von Achane remains in Tier 2 despite battling injuries; I would draft him mid-round 2.

Tier 3

• Josh Jacobs
• Chase Brown
• Bucky Irving
• Jonathan Taylor
• Kyren Williams
• No changes from previous tiers.
