As always, the idea here is to give you start/sit advice in the near term for teams relying on these backs, along with a longer-view dynasty stance.

The steamers are ranked in order of my preference in starting them in the coming week, both by tier and within each tier.

For the early-weeks I’m also going to include some key rookies who were drafted in the top-72 but who folks may be questioning when to start until / unless their roles grow over time.

The categorizations listed below each player are taken from the format of my pre-season annotated RB tiers. Refer to the legend below for what each term mean: (or ask in the comments if you need more clarification)
