How are these dynasty RB rankings calculated?

The order comes from real trade prices: the engine solves the most recent 30 days of real Sleeper league trades and recalculates every 12 hours, with community votes applied transparently. The tiers are computed from the actual value gaps between backs.

Why are running backs worth less than wide receivers in dynasty?

Career length. The market prices the production window, and RB windows are the shortest in football — the same output costs less at RB than WR but depreciates faster while you hold it.

When should I sell a dynasty RB?

Before the market re-tiers him. RB values usually peak during or just after the best stretch of production, while the age clock is still quiet — check the value history on the player page.
