Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings – Running Backs

Walt9 mins

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.

    The Redskins are terrible against the run.

  2. Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles (vs. Rams)- 15 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Rams are a solid eighth against the run, but Saquon Barkley can beat any matchup.

  3. David Montgomery, RB, Lions (vs. Redskins)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    David Montgomery should do well in his return.

    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Derrick Henry rumbled for 199 yards against the Bills in Week 4, but Buffalo’s run defense is much better now.
