Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em NFL Week 4 2022: Running back rankings
Running backs in NFL Fantasy football are amongst the most important in leagues across the world. They can rack up points as quickly as anyone in your lineup. While top backs such as Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor are must-starts in all clashes regardless of opposition, there are some running backs that aren't. Some have question marks surrounding them going into Week 4 of the NFL season.
Here are three you should start and three you should sit:
NFL Fantasy Football Running Backs - Start 'Em
#1 - Jamaal Williams
Jamaal Williams of the Detroit Lions has been amongst the top backs in fantasy this year. Hs workload is only going to increase as DeAndre Swift looks likely to miss time through injury.
In three games in 2022 Williams has four touchdowns as he's shown he's an elite threat in the red zone. However, if Swift is out, Williams will be handling extra carries. Behind the solid offensive line Detroit have assembled, you should start Williams with confidence in their Week 4 clash against the Seattle Seahawks.
#2 - Khalil Herbert
Like Williams, Khalil Herbert of the Chicago Bears stepped up due to an injury in Week 3. He has laid claim as to why he should be starting in your fantasy leagues.
After David Montgomery went down injured, Herbert rushed 20 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns. He has a favorable matchup against the New York Giants in Week 4. The Giants have allowed a sizeable 22.3 fantasy points per game (FPPG) to running backs in 2022 and Herbert should get most of the carries this week.
Khalil Herbert - 157
Most rushing yards in Week 3 so far
💥 Khalil Herbert - 157

#3 - James Robinson
Many came into the 2022 NFL season thinking James Robinson would sit behind Travis Etienne on the Jacksonville Jaguars' depth chart. However, his blistering form to begin 2022 makes him a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
So far, Robinson has rushed for a touchdown in every game, while amassing 230 yards on the ground. He has almost doubled Etienne's carry total so far this year, so is clearly the Jaguars' number one back.
Jaguars RB James Robinson tore his Achilles almost exactly 9 months ago today.
He's the *only* player that has a rushing TD in each of the first three weeks of the season.
He looks excellent. What a bounce back. https://t.co/hqOdmBfSEV
