Fantasy Football Week 8: Start 'Em and Sit 'Em Running Backs
A detailed guide on which running backs to start and which to avoid in Week 8 of Fantasy Football.
Running Backs You Should Consider Starting
Alvin Kamara
This week is crucial for Kamara as he faces off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. With Kendre Miller out for the season, Kamara is expected to take on a larger role. He hasn’t scored since Week 1, but given the favorable matchup against a team that ranks No. 7 in Fantasy points allowed to running backs, he could have a great game.
Rachaad White
With Bucky Irving sidelined, White is poised to start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Facing the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed running backs to score significantly against them, White could be a solid choice as a No. 2 Fantasy running back this week.
Other Notable Mentions
- J.K. Dobbins of the Denver Broncos is expected to perform well despite a mixed season so far.
- Jaylen Warren has shown promise and could be another solid start this week against the Green Bay Packers.
- Consider Chuba Hubbard from the Carolina Panthers as a flex option this week as he returns from injury.
Players to Avoid
- Rhamondre Stevenson from the New England Patriots faces the strong Cleveland Browns’ defense.
- Jacory Croskey-Merritt of Washington has struggled lately and should be approached with caution this week.
