Madden 23 RB ratings: Here are the best running backs for 2022, from Derrick Henry to Ezekiel Elliott image

Running backs still matter. And in the world of running backs, King Henry reigns supreme.

Titans star Derrick Henry is the league's best running back, according to "Madden 23", which released its running back ratings on July 20. Henry leads the pack with a 97 overall.

There was some stiff competition at the top for Henry. The Colts' Jonathan Taylor (95) netted 1,811 rushing yards en route to All-Pro honors. When healthy, the Panthers' Christian McCaffrey (96 overall) is the league's premier dual threat.

Still, it was Henry's accomplishment to lose. And it'll be hard to dethrone him any time soon. Henry has averaged well over 100 yards per game in each of his last three seasons. He was on pace for a second straight 2,000-yard season before injuries derailed him.
