Week 10 Running Back Rankings Outlooks
Brashard Smith, RB, Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith continues to be a part of the Chiefs' backfield rotation, but he had a disappointing showing in Week 9 against the Bills. He had three carries for seven yards and couldn't haul in his only target. The converted receiver was drafted by the Chiefs in the seventh round, and he has played a significant role behind Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco (knee) in some game scripts. In Week 9, though, even with Pacheco out, he couldn't get much going, while Hunt dominated touches and production.
With the Chiefs headed to a bye week, Smith is worth holding or picking up from the waiver wire in deep leagues since he does still have upside down the road. However, in most standard leagues, better backfield options are available in other timeshare situations. Smith is definitely worth monitoring as a playmaker in the Chiefs' potent offense, but his role will be limited if Pacheco is ready to return in Week 11.
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten matched his season-high with 10 offensive touches in Week 9, taking nine carries for 29 yards and his third NFL touchdown while also adding a catch on his only target for a loss of three yards. While he was involved, Tuten still played solidly behind Travis Etienne Jr., who had a season-high 27 touches.
Tuten actually played fewer snaps than fellow rookie LeQuint Allen as well, but Allen only had two touches. The fourth-round rookie is primarily an early-down, change-of-pace option right now for the Jaguars, but he has shown enough upside to deserve a look on waiver wires if you need running back depth. He has touchdown-dependent upside going forward, even though he and the Jags have a tough matchup against the strong Texans' defense in Week 10.
Dylan Sampson, RB, Browns
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson has recorded 184 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 touches across the first eight games of his NFL career. Coming out of Cleveland's Week 9 bye, Sampson could be his team's RB1. Star Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in Week 8 that could keep him sidelined in Week 10 when Cleveland takes on the New York Jets.
Even if Judkins misses Week 10, Sampson would likely still split backfield work with veteran back Jerome Ford. Still, Sampson has definite fantasy appeal as the potential lead back in a very favorable matchup against the Jets. Fantasy managers in PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams should target Sampson on the waiver wire leading into Week 10.
Devin Singletary, RB, Giants
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was expected to have an increased role this weekend with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season. Singletary was expected to play a backup role to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the backfield. However, Singletary ended up seeing the most carries in the backfield this past weekend.
Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards, while hauling in two receptions for eight yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. His 5.3 yards per carry should help Singletary earn a bigger role in the backfield going forward. It's tough to call Singletary a viable streaming choice, but he's someone to watch heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that he doesn't think the team will open the 21-day practice window for rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) until after their Week 12 bye, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. The 22-year-old rookie is eligible to return to practice this week as the club prepares to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, but Hampton will not be on the practice field and isn't going to be eligible to return to action until Week 13 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 30.
Fantasy managers must continue to be patient and keep Hampton stashed, as he should take over RB1 duties in the backfield again when he's healthy. In the meantime, Kimani Vidal will continue to see most of the backfield touches for the Bolts, making him at least an RB3/flex option until Hampton is cleared to return from Injured Reserve.
Aaron Jones Sr., Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in Sunday's win over the Lions. While head coach Kevin O'Connell told the media on Monday that the shoulder is sore, he regarded the prognosis as positive.
The team will ramp up Jones' activity throughout the week, so it should come as no surprise if he begins the week with a limited or missed practice, but the sense is that he should be ready to go for the Vikings' Week 10 matchup with the Ravens. Fantasy managers should monitor Minnesota's injury report throughout the week, but with an early-window kickoff, pivot options should be plentiful if he is unable to suit up.
