Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings – Running Backs

Christian McCaffrey
To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy RB rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a Traditional scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

  1. Jordan Mason, RB, 49ers (at Seahawks)- 22 Points
    120 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Seahawks are poor versus the run.

  2. Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles (vs. Browns)- 22 Points
    100 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    It’s tough to run on the Browns, but Saquon Barkley can beat any matchup.

  3. Derrick Henry, RB, Ravens (vs. Redskins)- 21 Points
    110 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Redskins are better against the run than the pass, but Derrick Henry should still find the end zone once again.

  4. Josh Jacobs, RB, Packers (vs. Cardinals)- 20 Points
    100 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Cardinals are incredibly weak to the run.

  5. Kenneth Walker, RB, Seahawks (vs. 49ers)- 19 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    James Conner just had a solid performance against the 49ers.

  6. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions (at Cowboys)- 18 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Cowboys are far weaker to the run than the pass.

  7. Breece Hall, RB, Jets (vs. Bills)- 17 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Breece Hall figures to rebound against a weaker run defense.

  8. James Conner, RB, Cardinals (at Packers)- 16 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    James Conner is looking great, and the Packers can be beaten on the ground.

  9. Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons (at Panthers)- 16 Points
    100 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Bijan Robinson will bounce back against a defense that can’t defend anyone.

  10. Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars (at Bears)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tank Bigsby has been impressive. The Bears are mediocre versus the run.

  11. David Montgomery, RB, Lions (at Cowboys)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    A great matchup for David Montgomery.

  12. Tony Pollard, RB, Titans (vs. Colts)- 16 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tank Bigsby just gashed the Colts on the ground.

  13. Bucky Irving, RB, Bucs (at Saints)- 15 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Bucky Irving has been the better running back.

  14. J.K. Dobbins, RB, Chargers (at Broncos)- 15 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Broncos don’t allow much on the ground.

  15. Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers (vs. Falcons)- 15 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Falcons have a weaker run defense that Chuba Hubbard should be able to exploit.

  16. Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints (vs. Buccaneers)- 15 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 6 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tampa Bay is much stronger against the run than the pass.

  17. D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (vs. Jaguars)- 14 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Jacksonville is better against the run than the pass, so I’m expecting regression here.

  18. Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos (vs. Chargers)- 14 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Javonte Williams reclaimed his job in the second half in Week 4 and maintained it versus the Raiders. This is a difficult matchup though.

  19. Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants (vs. Bengals)- 14 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tyrone Tracy looked great. Even if Devin Singletary returns, Tracy may have earned a bigger workload.

  20. Devin Singletary, RB, Giants (vs. Bengals)- 13 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Status unknown.

  21. Joe Mixon, RB, Texans (at Patriots)- 13 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Joe Mixon figures to return this week.

  22. Zack Moss, RB, Bengals (at Giants)- 12 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Giants are strong against the run.

  23. Ray Davis, RB, Bills (at Jets)- 12 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.


  24. Rico Dowdle, RB, Cowboys (vs. Lions)- 12 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Rico Dowdle is getting most of the workload, but the matchup is a tough one.

  25. Chase Brown, RB, Bengals (at Giants)- 11 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    It’s tough to run on the Giants.

  26. James Cook, RB, Bills (at Jets)- 11 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    The Jets struggle against the run, so James Cook could do well.

  27. Roschon Johnson, RB, Bears (vs. Jaguars)- 10 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.


  28. Jerome Ford, RB, Browns (at Eagles)- 10 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Jerome Ford doesn’t have good blocking because of all the offensive line injuries.

  29. Trey Sermon, RB, Colts (at Titans)- 10 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Trey Sermon isn’t a great option, even if he starts.

  30. Tyler Allgeier, RB, Falcons (at Panthers)- 10 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.


  31. Travis Etienne, RB, Jaguars (at Bears)- 10 Points
    20 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

    30 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.


  33. Antonio Gibson, RB, Patriots (vs. Texans)- 10 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.


  34. Alexander Mattison, RB, Raiders (vs. Steelers)- 10 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    The Steelers couldn’t even stop Rico Dowdle on Sunday night.

  35. Najee Harris, RB, Steelers (at Raiders)- 9 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
    The Raiders run defense should have no issues containing the lethargic Najee Harris.

  36. Austin Ekeler, RB, Redskins (at Ravens)- 7 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Austin Ekeler won’t find much running room, but his receiving ability makes him a fine PPR flex option.

  37. Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers (at Raiders)- 7 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.


  38. Justice Hill, RB, Ravens (vs. Redskins)- 6 Points

  43. Brian Robinson, RB, Redskins (at Ravens)- 4 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.

    20 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.


  45. Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, Steelers (at Raiders)- 4 Points
    20 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.


  46. Cam Akers, RB, Texans (at Patriots)- 4 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
    No longer any sort of option because of Dare Ogunbowale.

    20 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
