It's already Week 6 in the NFL, and it feels like the season just began. The running back landscape is tumultuous, to say the least, as consensus #1 overall pick Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out and a handful of key backs have either been ruled out or come in as true question marks. See below for our updated Week 6 fantasy football running back rankings, as of October 15th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key running backs like Raheem Mostert, Travis Etienne, Joe Mixon, Eno Benjamin, Najee Harris, and AJ Dillon 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.
