Christian McCaffrey, RB, PanthersĢ019 outlook: Swiss-army knife with sky-high usageĢ018 stats: 1,098 rushing yards, 7 TDs | 867 receiving yards, 6 TDsįantasy football is about volume, and no running back saw more snaps last season than McCaffrey.

Elliott may not lead the league in touches like he did last season (a staggering 381, which is the sort of workload that backs just don’t get anymore), but with first-year coordinator Kellen Moore running the offense and all the key components of the league’s best offensive line returning, Zeke’s efficiency should see an uptick this season. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, CowboysĢ019 outlook: A surefire fantasy star now that his holdout is overĢ018 stats: 1,434 rushing yards, 6 TDs | 567 receiving yards, 3 TDsĮlliott’s holdout is over and he’s available for Week 1, putting him in the conversation to be the top player in all of fantasy football. He looks like a lock to be top five again with a serious chance to finish as the no. When Ingram returned, Kamara “fell” to fifth among running backs the rest of the way. In four games without Ingram last year, Kamara was the highest-scoring non-quarterback, with 91 touches for 611 yards from scrimmage. Mark Ingram has been replaced by Latavius Murray, hinting at an even bigger role for Kamara in 2019. Kamara set the all-time mark for fantasy points per touch in 2017, and was tied for the fourth-best mark ever last year (minimum 100 carries). 1 overallĢ018 stats: 883 rushing yards, 14 TDs | 709 receiving yards, 4 TDs Alvin Kamara, RB, SaintsĢ019 outlook: Can make a serious argument for no. Whether the Giants roll with Eli Manning or Daniel Jones under center, the New York offense will lean on Barkley to carry a massive load, which gives him as high a floor as just about any player in the league. (plus Golden Tate’s suspension and Sterling Shepard’s broken thumb). Barkley led the NFL in combined targets and carries last year (382 total), and his role shouldn’t change much in 2019, particularly with the departure of Odell Beckham Jr.

This year, the elusive playmaker must overcome what could be an even worse overall unit, but in fantasy football, volume is king-and the second-year pro is in line for more opportunities to touch the rock than any other non-quarterback. As the centerpiece of a bad New York offense, he finished as the top-scoring running back in PPR and finished second in standard formats.
