1 | Christian McCaffrey
Draft Note
Christian McCaffrey is the first running back off the board for good reason. He finished as the RB1 in 2023 after an RB2 finish the year before. Last season, he scored 358 (half-PPR) fantasy points, which was over 100 more than the RB2, Raheem Mostert. He just turned 28 years old, so age isn’t much of a concern. There was some question whether he would see a mega workload with Elijah Mitchell healthy, but Mitchell’s status didn’t matter–McCaffrey averaged 21.2 touches per game, which was second only to Kyren Williams. He should continue to be the focal point of the 49ers’ highly-efficient offense.
| SF | 9 | 398 | 1.01 | 1.01 | 1 | 0 | 249 | 1261 | 7.9 | 63.2 | 60 | 484 | 6.9 | 22.2 | 2 | |
2 | Breece Hall
Draft Note
The Jets eased Breece Hall in early last season as he was recovering from a torn ACL in October of 2022. He saw just 37 total touches (9.3 per game) in the first four games. From Week 5 on, he led all running backs in total touches (262) and was second to Saquon Barkley in touches per game (20.2). In that span, Hall was the fantasy RB2, which is where I have him ranked this season. Not only is he talented and versatile, but the Jets did a major overhaul of the offensive line, adding veterans Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses, John Simpson, and drafting Olu Fashanue with the No. 11 overall pick. Aaron Rodgers’ return should also help the offense as a whole, creating more scoring opportunities for Hall. He’s a rock-solid pick in the middle of the first round in most formats.
| NYJ | 12 | 341 | 1.04 | 1.04 | 2 | 0 | 187 | 891 | 8.1 | 44.6 | 70 | 599 | 4.3 | 27.4 | 2 | |
3 | Derrick Henry
Draft Note
Derrick Henry finished as the RB8 in his age-29 season running behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Tennessee running backs averaged 2.2 yards before contact per attempt last season, while the Ravens were second (3.2) in the league. Henry posted the No. 6 rushing grade at PFF, and was 11th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in broken tackles per attempt. His age is a minor concern, but if Henry can stay healthy he has the potential to put up monster numbers in the Baltimore offense, which has generated an average of 15.0 (running back) rushing touchdowns since 2020. Working backward, he has finished RB8, RB4, RB14 (eight games played), RB2, and RB3 in the last five seasons. He has legit 20-touchdown upside in the Baltimore offense.
| BAL | 14 | 339 | 2.05 | 2.07 | 7 | 4 | 282 | 1197 | 13.7 | 60.0 | 24 | 188 | 0.3 | 8.6 | 2 | |
4 | Bijan Robinson
Draft Note
Bijan Robinson’s rookie season was inconsistent thanks in no small part to HC Arthur Smith’s insistence of limiting Robinson’s touches for most of the season. However in the 15 games where Robinson played at least 60% of the snaps, he averaged 14.5 (half-PPR) fantasy points per game, which would have been the 12th-highest per-game average last season. If Robinson gets Christian McCaffrey/Kyren Williams treatment–i.e. snap shares averaging 80%+ instead of last year’s 67.9%–then Robinson should live up to his RB3 ADP. Coming over from the Rams, Zac Robinson is the new offensive coordinator, and last season he and Sean McVay fed Kyren Williams to the tune of 21.7 touches per game. If Robinson sees that sort of work at his same fantasy point per touch efficiency, then he would average around 17.3 fantasy points per game, good enough to finish RB3 on a per-game basis last season.
| ATL | 12 | 339 | 1.05 | 1.05 | 3 | -1 | 218 | 963 | 7.2 | 48.3 | 58 | 481 | 5.5 | 22.0 | 2 | |
5 | Jonathan Taylor
Draft Note
Taylor missed the first few games due to an ankle injury (and subsequent surgery) from the 2022 season and didn’t play 50%+ of the snaps until Week 7. From that point on he had the third-highest per-game average (16.8) at his position even though he missed three games due to a thumb injury later in the season. He missed six games in 2022, but played 15 and 17 games in his first two seasons. In 2021 he was the overall RB1, outscoring the RB2 (Austin Ekeler) by 60 points. Taylor should have a productive 2024, though there are a couple of areas of concern. Anthony Richardson only targeted his running backs on 10 of his 72 pass attempts (13.9%) and in the two full games that Richardson played, he saw three carries inside the opponents’ five-yard line while Indy running backs saw five carries. It’s obviously a small sample size, and Taylor’s availability may change the ratio, but Richardson’s 38% goal-line carry rate is pretty high. (For reference, Jalen Hurts had a 47% goal-line carry rate last season.) Taylor is a fantasy RB1, but perhaps lacks the receiving and touchdown upside of the backs being drafted ahead of him.
| IND | 14 | 339 | 1.10 | 1.10 | 4 | -1 | 318 | 1263 | 8.8 | 63.3 | 30 | 211 | 1.3 | 9.7 | 3 | |
6 | Saquon Barkley
Draft Note
The Eagles upgraded from D'Andre Swift to Saquon Barkley, who finished as the fantasy RB16 in 13 games played in 2023. (He was the RB11 on a per-game basis, which didn't quite live up to his RB5 ADP.) Still in his prime, Barkley should fit in nicely with the Eagles' offense, though he's likely to see his receptions decline, at least a bit. Swift's receptions per game fell from 3.4 (with the Lions) to 2.4 last year with the Eagles. Still, Barkley is joining a much better offense and will command bell-cow touches, though touchdowns may also be an issue given the Eagles' ability to run the Brotherly Shove/Tush Push. He should go off the board near the 1st/2nd turn.
| PHI | 5 | 319 | 1.12 | 2.02 | 6 | 0 | 296 | 1264 | 6.9 | 63.3 | 33 | 188 | 1.0 | 8.7 | 2 | |
7 | Josh Jacobs
Draft Note
Josh Jacobs finished the season as the RB23, but missed a few games late in the year. He was the RB19 on a per-game basis. Jacobs was the fantasy RB3 in 2022. Jacobs could see a massive workload if he can remain healthy, though the Packers have implied that they want to get rookie MarShawn Lloyd involved.
| GB | 10 | 311 | 3.10 | 4.04 | 12 | 5 | 290 | 1114 | 5.9 | 55.8 | 39 | 292 | 1.3 | 13.4 | 2 | |
8 | Travis Etienne
Draft Note
Travis Etienne finished the season as the fantasy RB3 with the fifth-highest per-game average in half-PPR formats. He was the RB16 in 2022, but didn’t play big snaps until Week 7. From that point on, he was the RB12. As he enters his third season, Etienne has a clear role and a high floor as the Jaguars’ bellcow back. He should provide solid RB1 numbers again this season.
| JAX | 12 | 300 | 2.07 | 2.09 | 8 | 0 | 230 | 895 | 9.3 | 44.8 | 47 | 368 | 0.9 | 16.9 | 2 | |
9 | James Cook
Draft Note
James Cook saw a big spike in touches in his second season (6.9 to 16.5 per game) and finished RB10 with the 17th-highest per game average. Counting two postseason games, Cook’s touches really spiked once Joe Brady took over as the offensive coordinator in Week 11. Cook averaged 14.4 touches for 84 yards and 0.20 touchdowns in the first 10 games with Ken Dorsey at offensive coordinator. In his final nine games under Brady, he averaged 20.1 touches for 100 yards and 0.44 touchdowns. That works out 14.2 fantasy points per game, which equates to low-end RB1 numbers. The Bills did use a fourth-round draft pick on Ray Davis, who rushed for 1,000+ yards in both 2022 and 2023 at Vanderbilt and Kentucky, respectively, so it’s possible that the team is looking to take some of the load off of Cook.
| BUF | 12 | 291 | 3.12 | 4.06 | 13 | 4 | 250 | 1133 | 1.5 | 56.7 | 35 | 359 | 2.7 | 16.3 | 2 | |
10 | Isiah Pacheco
Draft Note
Isiah Pacheco finished as the fantasy RB13 in 14 games played. He had the 12th-highest per game average. In four postseason games, he averaged 23.3 touches for 93 yards and 1.5 touchdowns, which is high-end RB1 production. He was also regularly playing 70% or more of the snaps in the playoffs. The Chiefs will probably limit his usage somewhat during the regular season, but if that playoff workload is a preview of his 2024 workload, then he has upside from his RB12 ADP. He’s a rock-solid low-end RB1.
| KC | 6 | 289 | 2.06 | 2.08 | 10 | 0 | 235 | 999 | 7.0 | 50.1 | 43 | 238 | 2.1 | 11.1 | 2 |
Who has the best SFB14 rankings?
4for4 has proven highly consistent in both their rankings, which is paramount for success in fantasy football. John Paulsen, 4for4’s Director of Forecasting was named the Most Accurate Fantasy Football Expert by FantasyPros in both 2010 and 2014 and was the runner-up in 2011 and 2019. In 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020 he finished among the top four rankers.

What is the best draft position in SFB14 drafts?
There is an argument for all three parts of the draft in SFB14 as the top few picks are guaranteed an elite QB in this superflex format. In the middle of the draft you are in a good spot to not miss out on any crazy runs, and if you select at the end of the draft order, drafters can take advantage of the third-round reversal and get three picks within the first 25 players.
What is the best draft strategy in SFB14 drafts?
With the scoring as crazy as it is, there is no best strategy for SFB14. In a tournament of this size, being different helps so try to think outside of the box when drafting.
What is SFB14 ADP?
ADP, or Average Draft Position,indicates the average spot where players are being selected in drafts. Tracking SFB14 ADP helps you anticipate when players will be available and strategize your picks effectively, maximizing value.

This translates to rankings you can trust, built on measurable data and objective analysis. Their historical success speaks for itself - 4for4 is the resource you need to dominate SFB14.
What is the best first-round pick in SFB14 Drafts?
There is no right answer here, as it depends on your specific strategy going into the SFB14 draft. It is a Superflex format with an emphasis on the rushing quarterback, so if you would like to have an elite quarterback, then select Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, or Lamar Jackson. Only one RB needs to start in 2024, so grabbing a top rusher like Christian McCaffrey or Breece Hall could be the way to get out to a solid start. The scoring is also TE premium, so taking Travis Kelce or Sam LaPorta may also serve you well.
