Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 3: Running back rankings

The running back position in NFL Fantasy football is often what wins and loses you your matchup. Any running back has the potential to break off a huge play and take it all the way to the house. While running backs such as Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley are must-starts this year, some backs have question marks surrounding them.

Be it the offense they find themselves in, or the lackluster play, there are some running backs that you should start this week. On the other hand, there are some that you should avoid.

NFL Fantasy Running Backs 2022 Week 3: Start 'Em

David Montgomery - Chicago Bears vs Houston Texans

David Montgomery should be starting for you in Week 3 if you have him in your fantasy squad. The Bears come up against the Houston Texans, who have allowed an average of 27.4 fantasy points per game to running backs so far. Not only that, they have also allowed the most rushing yards this season too.

Montgomery had a solid outing in the Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers, clocking up 15.8 fantasy points. You should confidently start him in Week 3.

David Montgomery with the smooth moves!!! 🐻🧀

James Robinson - Jacksonville Jaguars @ Los Angeles Chargers

Jacksonville Jaguars v Washington Commanders

Despite tearing his achilles last season, James Robinson has re-asserted himself as the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is despite the presence of Travis Etienne.

He's surpassed 15 points in both his outings thus far and is set to do so again. Robinson comes up against a Los Angeles Chargers defense who allowed the most fantasy points to running backs in 2021. As such, Robinson is a must-start this week.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Atlanta Falcons @ Seattle Seahawks

NFL - Atlanta Falcons v Los Angeles Rams

After an excellent Week 1 outing, Cordarrelle Patterson only amassed 41 total yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. However, he's a solid running back option in the Atlanta Falcons' Week 3 clash with the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle have allowed the eighth-most rushing yards to backs so far in 2022, so expect Marcus Mariota to feed Patterson throughout.
