Breece Hall should be in the top ten over Josh Jacobs. He's on a shitty ass Jets team and he's still producing.
I know I'm biased, but Corum deserves to be ranked higher as well. Top twenty-five, if not top-twenty.

Maybe eventually but not based off his NFL career so far imo

All I know is that at some point.....at some damned point of the season, it doesn't matter record, health, team he is on or what role he is playing....at some point Mixon will end up on my fantasy team.

Yeah, too early to judge him.
I am hoping, for his sake, that have a young offensive mind in Vegas will help him find his NFL game. I think the guy can certainly play at a very high level. Fix that OL and use him more creatively and he could do well.
Is the list for what they've done? Or what we think they will do? Barkley and McCaffrey lost their explosiveness. And they're both 29 this season. An age where heavily used backs see a decline. But on the other hand, Derrick Henry was phenomenal at 31 years old. I guess we'll see how the older guys do.
Run game excellence isn't just about the players, it also goes back to the philosophy of the offense these guys are in. So Williams for example is going to be limited by the fact we're a team who runs it to mix it up, rather than a team that works hard to dictate the run to free up our pass game options like SF does.
McCaffrey for example benefits from that to some extent. He's a fine back when he's healthy, I gotta admit that. But he's not in Barkley's class, to my eye at least.
Another back who should continue to rise is Hampton, simply because he's going to get a shit ton of work and focus on that run game by Harbaugh with the carpetbaggers.
An example of a back I think will fall is Henry, who will face defenses loaded to stop him I expect, due to transition from the other Harbaugh to the new staff. I have a feeling they're gonna have some difficulties and that may end with a change at QB at some point.

I don't know how I'd rank them but I do know this much.....
Over the last 3 seasons, the TD leaders at RB are as follows:
1. Henry 44 TDs
2. Gibbs 39 TDs
3. Kyren 36 TDs
Taylor 36 TDs
5. Montgomery 33 TDs
6. Cook 30
7. Barkley 26
8. Bijan 25
9. McCaffrey 24
10. Achane 22
I don't know how RB value is determined but I'd rank finding the end zone up there pretty high.
