With D’Andre Swift being drafted by the Detroit Lions in April, the Georgia Bulldogs now have four running backs in the NFL.
The 2020 NFL season looks like it’s going to take place this fall, which means fantasy football projections are starting to pick up as people begin planning out their teams.
David Latham from Last Word on Pro Football ranked all the fantasy football running backs and placed them into tiers.
Here’s how he ranked the former Bulldogs.
No. 8 – Nick Chubb: Low-End RB1
Last season: 298 carries, 1,494 yards, 8 touchdowns. 36 catches on 49 targets, 278 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns.

Nick Chubb would be a lot higher on this list if it weren’t for the presence of Kareem Hunt. Last year, both players split the workload, although Chubb was clearly the primary starter. It’s entirely possible that this becomes more of a 50/50 split, which obviously would hurt Chubb’s overall production.
No. 14 – Todd Gurley: RB1 Potential
Last season: 223 carries, 857 yards, 12 touchdowns. 31 catches on 49 targets, 207 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns.

He obviously comes with some injury risk, but he should be a great fantasy option as long as he stays on the field.
No. 27 – Sony Michel: RB2 Potential
Last season: 247 carries, 912 yards, 7 touchdowns. 12 catches on 20 targets, 94 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns.
Latham wrote:
There won’t be many scoring opportunities, but Michel should have a decent workload.
No. 36 – D’Andre Swift
Last season, at Georgia: 196 carries, 1,218 yards, 7 touchdowns. 24 catches, 216 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown.
Latham did not provide comments on Swift, but the versatile back should put up numbers, especially in a PPR league. He’s quick, he’s shifty and he can you over. I think 36 is too low for Swift. I’d have him at 25 or so.
