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.

Updated 9/9/2025 5:23:46 AM – Follow @walterfootball for updates.
  1. Derrick Henry, RB, Ravens (vs. Browns)- 26 Points
    160 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Derrick Henry will be looking to redeem himself.

  2. Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers (at Saints)- 24 Points
    110 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Enjoy Christian McCaffrey while he’s healthy. The Saints can’t stop anything.

  3. Kyren Williams, RB, Rams (at Titans)- 20 Points
    100 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tennessee surrendered a bunch of rushing yards last week.

  4. James Cook, RB, Bills (at Jets)- 17 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Jets are notoriously poor against the run.

  5. Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons (at Vikings)- 17 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Bijan Robinson will have another great performance this week.

  6. Breece Hall, RB, Jets (vs. Bills)- 17 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    So much for splitting touches 50-50. Breece Hall looked great and will be battling a defense that was just trampled by Derrick Henry.

  7. Chase Brown, RB, Bengals (vs. Jaguars)- 16 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    This is a far better matchup for Chase Brown.

  8. Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles (at Chiefs)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Kansas City is dominant against the run, but you’re obviously not sitting Saquon Barkley.

  9. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Raiders (vs. Chargers)- 16 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Denzel Perryman could be out, which would open things up for Ashton Jeanty.

  10. Bucky Irving, RB, Bucs (at Texans)- 15 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Bucky Irving’s workload will continue to stay high, but the matchup is difficult.

  11. Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers (at Raiders)- 15 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Omarion Hampton handled most of the workload in Week 1.

  12. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions (vs. Bears)- 15 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Bears figure to be weaker against the run than the Packers.

  13. James Conner, RB, Cardinals (vs. Panthers)- 14 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    James Conner said he’s going to share the workload with Trey Benson this year.

  14. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts (vs. Broncos)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Jonathan Taylor has lost his touches at the 1-yard line, which is not ideal.

  15. Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers (at Cardinals)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Panthers will be playing from behind, so this is not ideal.

  16. Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seahawks (at Steelers)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Zach Charbonnet is seeing more touches than Kenneth Walker, and Pittsburgh couldn’t stop the run last week.

  17. D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (at Lions)- 13 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Lions aren’t as good against the run.

  18. De'Von Achane, RB, Dolphins (vs. Patriots)- 13 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    De’Von Achane will be productive no matter what.

  19. Josh Jacobs, RB, Packers (vs. Redskins)- 13 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Redskins put the clamps on Tyrone Tracy last week, but Josh Jacobs has a better chance to be productive.

  20. Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints (vs. 49ers)- 13 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Alvin Kamara figures to regress as the season goes on, but he should do well in this game.

  21. Javonte Williams, RB, Cowboys (vs. Giants)- 12 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Javonte Williams won’t fall into the end zone twice each week, but he’s the unquestioned starter.

  22. Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers (vs. Seahawks)- 11 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Jaylen Warren has a fine matchup this week.

  23. Ollie Gordon, RB, Dolphins (vs. Patriots)- 9 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.


  24. Tony Pollard, RB, Titans (vs. Rams)- 9 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    It’ll be difficult for Tony Pollard to do much versus the Rams.

  25. R.J. Harvey, RB, Broncos (at Colts)- 8 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
    R.J. Harvey saw far fewer carries than J.K. Dobbins.

  26. Travis Etienne, RB, Jaguars (at Bengals)- 8 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
    Travis Etienne had an electric game last week, but he’s still difficult to trust.

  27. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Patriots (at Dolphins)- 8 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    TreVeyon Henderson will do some damage on third downs and will work into the early-down role.

  28. J.K. Dobbins, RB, Broncos (at Colts)- 7 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
    The Colts are decent against the run.

  29. Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants (at Cowboys)- 7 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
    Tyrone Tracy won’t do much running if the Giants are in a deficit, as expected.

  30. Kenneth Walker, RB, Seahawks (at Steelers)- 7 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
    Clearly, the inferior running back on the Seahawks.

  31. Nick Chubb, RB, Texans (vs. Buccaneers)- 7 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
    Not worth starting regardless.

  32. Trey Benson, RB, Cardinals (vs. Panthers)- 6 Points
    60 Rushing Yards.


  33. Isiah Pacheco, RB, Chiefs (vs. Eagles)- 6 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.

    30 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.


  37. Jerome Ford, RB, Browns (at Ravens)- 5 Points
    50 Rushing Yards.
    Jerome Ford won’t be starting for too long.

  38. Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars (at Bengals)- 5 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.


  39. David Montgomery, RB, Lions (vs. Bears)- 5 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
    David Montgomery took a big hit with Ben Johnson leaving.

  40. Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots (at Dolphins)- 5 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
