Fantasy football draft season is here. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to start your draft prep. One of the most useful weapons to have in your draft day arsenal is fantasy football tiers. With a tier-based approach, you can see how each player stacks up at his respective position. Tiers are slightly different from fantasy football rankings because it’s not just a straight list of players. These groupings allow for a more flexible approach to drafting that you can ultimately build into your draft board.
Over the next few days, I’m going to go position-by-position and give you my tiers for 2024 fantasy football drafts. Today, we continue things with my 2024 running back fantasy football tiers. Of course, don’t forget that you can check out all of our fantasy football rankings and fantasy football projections.
Rankings are included as part of our fantasy football subscriptions. Along with rankings and projections, you’ll also get access to our Fantasy Football Game Plan Draft Guide and much more with an FTN Fantasy subscription.
2024 Fantasy Football Running Back Tiers
Tier 1

While we aren’t as top heavy at running back as we have been in years past, we do have plenty of firepower in this group. All three backs will go in the first round of your 1QB drafts. McCaffrey is the elder statesman of the bunch and is coming off a 2,000-yard scrimmage season with 21 touchdowns. Both Robinson and Hall are on the rise and offer a three-down skill set.
Tier 2

Our second group encompasses the remaining anchor running backs on my board for 2024. You can expect this group to all go in the first three rounds of your 1QB drafts. If you plan to use a Hero RB approach (I also call this a “Punt RB2” strategy), you’ll want to land one of these backs from the first two tiers. I discuss this concept even further in the Roadmap fantasy draft strategy article in my Game Plan draft guide. Note that some of these backs don’t have clear handcuff situations. I tend to only handcuff backs with clear handcuffs.
