How Good Is Jordan Howard? My Tiered 2017 Fantasy Running Backs

Top Running Backs for the 2017 Season Tiered

Everyone knows who the top three running backs in the league are. The trouble is deciding, once those guys are off the board, who can you depend on in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 category.  This selection can make or break your team as they will undoubtedly be expected to be the top running back on your team.

Jordan Howard emerged last season as a very reliable back for Chicago and fantasy owners.  Does he have what it takes to be a number one running back for fantasy owners in 2017?

Here are my current tiers for fantasy running backs in 2017. I have listed the top 50 running backs that are worth drafting. This list will continue to change so check back frequently.
