College Fantasy Football RB Rankings 2022: Top running backs, sleepers to know image

Every season, college football features some superstars at the running back position who are a must-watch TV every weekend. Heading into 2022, Bijan Robinson and TreVeyon Henderson -- the top two in our college fantasy RB rankings, are the most notable NFL-caliber backs playing in what should be elite offenses. If these guys play into 4th quarters of games this season, they could definitely make their way into the top-500 fantasy RB seasons of all-time!

As a general strategy, we’re leaning running backs over wide receivers in Rounds 2-5, depending on individual value, of course. It’s crucial to land a few of the top-25 RB, whereas you can wait and select solid wide receivers later in the draft. Missing out on running backs will end your season in one of these fantasy football loser shirts. Fortunately, there are plenty of great RB options in high-scoring offenses.
