#12: Breece Hall (NYJ) @ PIT

The Steelers are not the best matchup, but Breece showed some pop on Monday Night Football against the Bills. He had 169 scrimmage yards while Braelon Allen proved to be a non-factor. As the offense finds itself after the Saleh firing and the addition of Davante Adams, Hall’s got an opportunity to become a consistent RB1.

#11: David Montgomery (DET) @ MIN

This probably isn’t the week to rank the Detroit backfield highly, as Minnesota is excellent against the run. But, if we’re going with either of the backs, I’m giving the edge to Montgomery. He’s got a nose for the end zone and the best chance of scoring out of his backfield.

#10: Brian Robinson Jr. (WAS) vs. CAR

This is pending his health, obviously. But, Robinson has been solid, with 15.5 fantasy points per game. The Panthers are the league’s worst against RBs. So, if Robinson plays, he’s a must-start.

#9: Bijan Robinson (ATL) vs. SEA

Finally we got a good game from Bijan! Ultimately though, it was boosted by his two touchdowns, which just isn’t sustainable each week. He also hasn’t had more than 18 touches in a game since Week 1. And, he’s still losing work to Tyler Allgeier. So, I’m not totally convinced he’s breaking out.

#8: Chuba Hubbard (CAR) @ WAS

Did you know Hubbard is currently the PPR RB5? Expect him to keep it going against the Commanders, who are still relatively vulnerable to the running game.

#7: Alvin Kamara (NO) vs. DEN

Kamara’s been limited in practice this week and Kendre Miller might also be making his debut. Still, he’s been a top back thanks to his contributions in the Saints’ passing game. So he’s still a very startable RB1.

#6: Tony Pollard (TEN) @ BUF

I like Pollard’s recent performance; he should be a PPR asset against the Bills. The Bills have allowed the most receptions per game to RBs, and Pollard has 3 or more catches in 3 of 5 games this year.

#5: Joe Mixon (HOU) @ GB

Coming off a fantastic week, Mixon has a hot hand right now. Green Bay is middle of the pack in allowing points to RBs, but Mixon’s involvement on the ground and through the air in Week 6 says he’s building solid momentum.

#4: Kenneth Walker (SEA) @ ATL

Walker has 32 yards or fewer in 2 straight games, but he’s 4th in receptions and 3rd in fantasy points per game overall. Atlanta gave up 160 rushing yards to the Bucs 2 weeks ago, and allowed Chuba Hubbard to go for over 90, despite the Panthers losing by 18 points. Walker is due for a big week.
