Welcome to Week 5, fantasy fans! It’s the first week with byes, as the Chiefs and Panthers are off. That means you’ll have to prepare for a week of fantasy matchups without Kenneth Walker III and the surprisingly productive Chuba Hubbard. After four weeks, he’s a top-10 runner!
This week’s rankings include some risers in Emanuel Wilson and Quinshon Judkins, and there are a number of good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A number of running backs have also seen their value fall, including TreVeyon Henderson, and injuries to Saquon Barkley and De’Von Achane have managers scrambling for alternate options. Those could come in the form of Tank Bigsby and Ollie Gordon II.
Here are my fantasy running back rankings as we head into Week 5. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
