You love fantasy rankings, but you really love tiers. We get it: Tiers give rankings texture and can be a big help when you’re actually drafting.

Here are my RB tiers for 2022 based on half-point PPR scoring.

Tier 1

• Jonathan Taylor
• Christian McCaffrey

Welcome to the elite tier.

Jonathan Taylor is the consensus 1.01 after finishing as the RB1 last year by a wide margin. He’s a rare physical specimen who blends power with speed. Taylor runs behind a strong offensive line and is getting a QB upgrade with Matt Ryan replacing Carson Wentz.
