Fantasy Football Week 5 – Running Back (RB) Start Em Sit Em

Must-Start Running Backs

Brian Robinson (Washington Commanders) vs. Chicago Bears
If you’re facing the Chicago Bears, you’re probably in my “must-start” column. The Bears’ defense has been generous, allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs. Even after Javonte Williams left early last week, they’re conceding over 33 fantasy points per game. Robinson should thrive in this favorable matchup.

David Montgomery (Detroit Lions) vs. Carolina Panthers
Montgomery is the workhorse in Detroit, and it doesn’t change even when the Lions were beating the Packers. Facing the Panthers, who are yielding the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs, Montgomery is poised for a big day.

De’Von Achane (Miami Dolphins) vs. New York Giants
De’Von Achane has been on fire, tallying over 100 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in recent weeks. He’s a rising star, and this week he faces the Giants, who are surrendering more than 25 fantasy points per game to running backs. Achane is a must-start option, and he’s climbing the ranks fast.

Breece Hall (New York Jets) vs. Denver Broncos
When it comes to the Denver Broncos, you start every running back, no questions asked. They’ve allowed a whopping 613 rushing yards and seven touchdowns to opposing backs. Hall is set to have a breakout game against this struggling Broncos’ defense.
