Where Sony Michel Falls In Colin Cowherd’s NFL Running Back Rankings

Colin Cowherd doesn’t love Sony Michel, nor does he hate him.

Rather, the “Herd with Colin Cowherd” host just is kinda meh on the New England Patriots running back.

Cowherd on Thursday offered his 2019 NFL running back rankings, and he has Michel in the No. 16 spot. The sophomore back is sandwiched between Nick Chubb and Chris Carson of the Cleveland Browns and the Seattle Seahawks, respectively.

Here are Cowherd’s full rankings:

Honestly, that seems like a fair spot for Michel. He hardly looked like a game-breaker during his rookie season, but nevertheless was highly productive, and appears to have taken his game to another level ahead of the new campaign.

As for fantasy football, we think Michel carries some value, but we don’t advise reaching for him in any of your drafts.
