Fantasy Football Week 4 Running Back Rankings

Publish Date: September 27, 2022

The 2022-23 NFL season began two weeks ago which means so did fantasy football. After getting a taste of the NFL season last week, it is important not to overreact and make risky moves when setting lineups for this week. For the first few weeks, fantasy managers should pay attention to trends that they see from teams that could shape the rest of the season. Here are fantasy football week 4 running back rankings.

*Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to reserve/COVID-19 list*

(Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week)

Key:

Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They Will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.

Starting RB1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a high floor.

High-End RB2- a player who may isn’t likely to carry a lineup that week, but has the ability to have a breakout game and is teetering between RB1 and RB2 category.

Starting RB2- a player who should be started in most lineups and should reach their point projection. This player is started is because of their consistency and moderately high floor

Low RB2- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not. Their production may not be pretty or win a person their lineup but the production is consistent enough to make a fantasy owner comfortable starting them.

Flex- a player who could float around the territory of being benched, but is started due to the potential to play better than their point projection. However, this player has the potential to flop and causes a fantasy team to lose if he has a bad game.

Deep League Flex- a player who is more of a Hail Mary throw at the position. There are enough reasons to leave this player on the bench, but their upside makes them an attractive option. Desperate times may call for a player like this to be inserted into starting lineups.

Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Possible Changes that can occur before Sunday

RB12 Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings

Dalvin Cook is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury he sustained last week against the Detroit Lions. If he was to miss next week against the New Orleans Saints then Alexander Mattison would jump up to RB14 between Javonte Williams and David Montgomery.

RB15 David Montgomery, Chicago Bears

David Montgomery left Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans early with an ankle and knee injury. He is considered day-to-day at this point. If Montgomery misses this week against the New York Giants then Khalil Herbert moves up to RB18 between Jamaal Williams and James Conner.

RB59 Travis Homer, Seattle Seahawks

Travis Homer suffered a rib injury against the Atlanta Falcons last week. If he is to miss this week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons DeeJay Dallas would be the third running back in Seattle’s rotation.
