DynoGameTheory’s Top-20 Dynasty Rookie Running Backs For 2020
The 2020 NFL Draft is just about here and dynasty rookie drafts are shortly thereafter. Therefore, there is no better time to unveil my top 20 rookie running backs. So here they are:
1. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
5’10” 226 – 21.3 yrs old
Ball security and receiving ability. Aside from those slight concerns, Taylor profiles as a truly elite RB. At 226lbs he ran a sub 4.40 40. He also turned in three straight 2,000+ yard seasons at Wisconsin. I’m excited.

2. JK Dobbins, Ohio State
5’10” 209 – 21.3 yrs old
We have a few lingering questions about Dobbins given he skipped the combine. But everything we hear is that this kid is a legit athlete. Aside from a down sophomore season, JK has an exceptional profile as a true three-down back.

3. D’Andre Swift, Georgia
5’8” 212 – 21.3 yrs old
Swift is who many people think CEH is–an elite pass-catching option with three-down size and skill-set. He lacks a little between the tackles, but nothing he can’t improve upon. He’s got what it takes to become an NFL RB1.

4. Cam Akers, Florida State
5’10” 217 – 20.8 yrs old
When we talk about the RB class of 2020, we talk about these first four guys. And yes, Cam Akers is part of that elite group. Don’t sleep on Cam, as he profiles as an elite bell-cow at the next level.

5. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU
5’7” 207 – 21.0 yrs old
Analytically, CEH falls short. No pun intended. But he will get the draft capital and a potentially juicy landing spot for his pass-catching prowess. And in PPR leagues, he should have a very safe floor.
