Christian McCaffrey is projected to be the top choice among running backs and the overall number one pick for fantasy football in 2024. It’s no surprise, as long as he remains healthy during training camp. The real question is, who will be the second pick? Could it be Breece Hall or Bijan Robinson, two young and dynamic running backs who are expected to have stronger support systems this year compared to last season?
There’s also the possibility of a rookie running back like Johnathan Brooks, Trey Benson, or Blake Corum making a big impact despite a lack of hype surrounding their draft class. On the other hand, established veterans like Derrick Henry or Josh Jacobs could also continue to perform at a high level.
