Week 6 Running Back Rankings for Fantasy Football: Melvin Gordon, Kenneth Walker, Eno Benjamin, Breece Hall, Rhamondre Stevenson

Running back is always a scarce position in fantasy football with up and down performances, especially when injuries start to hit and bye weeks too. So we're here as always to help with start-or-sit decisions with our updated Week 6 fantasy football running back rankings, as of October 12th. We're now fully into the thick of fantasy football season, and playing the right guy at running back has never been more important. With injuries and role changes shaking up this position, it's important to see where running backs like Rhamondre Stevenson, Kenneth Walker, Breece Hall, and Eno Benjamin rank, among others.

Our running back fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
