Fantasy Football: The Top 10 Rookie Running Backs for 2018

1) Saquon Barkley, New York Giants

Average Draft Position: 1.07 (RB6)
Projected Fantasy Points: 203.59 (RB10)

Well, there wasn't really much doubt as to who was going to hold down the top spot on this list.

We could wax poetic about Saquon Barkley, but y'all know about him. The dude is a baller, ranking in the 96th percentile or better in all four of his workout metrics on PlayerProfiler.com, and his rookie season is one of the most anticipated debuts for any running back in recent memory.

Barkley is not sneaking up on anyone as he's got an ADP of 1.06, making him the RB5.

However, per our models, the hype may have gotten just a touch out of hand. Volume isn't going to be a concern after the New York Giants spent the number-two overall pick on him, but it's fair to be at least a little troubled by the Giants' offense, which has ranked 26th and 31st in points scored over the last two seasons.

Don't get it twisted, though, we're still expecting big things from Barkley. We have him as our RB10, projecting him for 258 carries, 1,092 yards and 6.03 touchdowns as well as 65 catches, 488 yards and 2.01 scores as a receiver.

Barkley is the clear cream of the crop in what looks to be a pretty darn good rookie running back class.
