College Fantasy Football’s Top 500 Running Backs of All-Time

Just a week after unveiling the Top 300 Quarterback Seasons in history, we are ready to showcase the Top 500 College Fantasy Football Running Back Seasons of All-Time! We’ve got some great names in our list including Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Reggie Bush, and so many more! Unlike the Quarterback rankings, the top of the list isn’t littered with players from the last 10 years as the passing game has continued to steal from running backs. Additionally, the dreaded running back by committee approach has also diminished running back performance. We compiled all of the data from 1980 up through the 2021 season for running backs - inclusive of receiving data.  We then used a formula to calculate fantasy points based on their actual numbers.  The running backs are sorted by fantasy points per game to minimize the impact of the number of games played in a season. We did set a minimum number of games to filter out some players that may have only played 5 games in a season.
