NFL Week 5: Running Backs To Start<\/p>\n
START Jaylen Warren:\u00a0He was asked to take on a larger load in the Pittsburgh backfield recently and responded well. Warren has rushed for 220 yards over the past two games. Indianapolis ranks 26th\u00a0in rushing defense, so Warren should be locked in as a fantasy RB2 for Week 5.<\/p>\n
START Quinshon Judkins:\u00a0Cleveland has started to show new signs of life on offense, and a respectable passing game can open up more running room for Judkins. Last week, he totaled 96 yards from scrimmage and caught six passes while rushing for a touchdown. The Jets rank 25th\u00a0in the league in rushing defense.<\/p>\n
START Omarion Hampton: The Chargers are winless, and Hampton is not quite putting up the fantasy numbers expected of him so far this season. But he has rushed for TDs in three of four games this season and totaled 13-plus PPR points in two of his last three games. Denver has allowed the most rushing yards per game of any team in the AFC (142.8).<\/p>\n
START Bucky Irving:\u00a0The Buccaneers, who are also winless, take on Dallas this week, and Tampa Bay will have to rely on its running game to not get blown out of the Cowboys’ building. Dallas allows the second-most rushing yards in the NFL, so Irving may post at least adequate numbers in Week 5**.**<\/p>\n
More Week 5 Fantasy Football RBs To Start: Bhayshul Tuten (vs. PHI), Aaron Jones Sr. (vs. NO), Kyle Monangai (vs. GB) Ollie Gordon II (vs. CIN) Rhamondre Stevenson (vs. LV).<\/p>\n
Week 5 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings: Running Backs<\/p>\n
Will Shipley, Eagles: Saquon Barkley is dealing with a hamstring issue, and Tank Bigsby is out with an abdomen injury. Shipley might have to function as a primary RB for Philadelphia in Week 5. He is a speedy RB with the potential to contribute as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield.Emanuel Wilson, Seahawks:\u00a0Those who streamed Wilson in Week 4 were rewarded with\u00a0120 scrimmage yards and two TDs<\/a>. Wilson is a deserving lead ball carrier and flat pass option for the Seahawks at RB right now. He is still available in some leagues and should play an important role in the showdown with the 49ers this week.Tyler Allgeier, Cardinals: He rushed for his first TD as a Cardinal last week and may continue to split work with Jordan Love. Allgeier has proved in the past he does have consistent TD potential as a fantasy RB4.Brian Robinson Jr., Falcons: Atlanta’s offense has churned out 80 points in the last two games, and Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for three TDs on Monday night. He is the essential fantasy football insurance RB for Bijan Robinson and should be rostered anyhow as a bye week or injury-fill\u00a0in candidate.Jonah Coleman, Broncos: The rookie is currently on IR with an ankle injury, but he may get an opportunity to emerge as a frequent ball carrier for Denver later in the season.Austin Ekeler, Commanders: The longtime fantasy favorite returned to action last week and performed well in limited duty. He totaled 40 yards on five touches from scrimmage and looked like he could add a needed spark to the Washington running game.CJ Donaldson, SaintsMarShawn Lloyd, PackersKeaton Mitchell, ChargersJaylen Wright, Dolphins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL Week 5: Running Backs To Start START Jaylen Warren:\u00a0He was asked to take on a larger load…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":918744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,10866,85616,10865,10864,85],"class_list":["post-918743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-homepage-hero","tag-news-fantasy-insider","tag-news-national-feature","tag-news-stories","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=918743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
