For our August RB DSE Rankings, there wasn’t much movement at all. CEH moved into the top 10, up to 8th overall, as did Derrick Henry. Oddly enough, Jonathan Taylor slipped out of the top 10 to 13th overall, right ahead of fellow rookie D’Andre Swift.
While we are on rookies, Bills rookie Zach Moss was the biggest mover, leaping 17 spots from 48th to 31st overall. On the heels of the Derrius Guice news, Washington Football Team RB Antonio Gibson also had a big jump, moving up 14 spots to 44th overall.
Obviously, no one likes the Colts running game as, similar to the Taylor slide, Marlon Mack dropped 12 spots. Other big droppers were Phillip Lindsey (-17 spots), Damian Williams (-13), and Sony Michel (-11). Williams and Michel both make sense, with Williams opting out of the 2020 season and Michel always being hurt.
