Joe Mixon was the star of fantasy last week, but he will not make the Week 10 RB rankings. Why? He is on a bye this week along with Rhamondre Stevenson, Kenyan Drake and Michael Carter.
The week 10 bye doesn’t hurt as much as last week when it comes to running backs. However, the playoffs will be here before you know it. So, if you want to keep winning, then you need to check in every week to my rankings lists.
So on that note, let’s get into this week’s RB rankings.

Running Back Notes:
- Travis Etienne Jr. has been explosive since Week 7. He has finished in the top 10 in those three weeks as well. I don’t see him slowing down anytime soon, now that James Robinson is gone. This week I have Etienne as my RB7 against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are the eighth-worst fantasy defense against running backs. Giving up 23 fantasy points per game to running backs. Last week, Etienne had two touchdowns and 109 rushing yards against the Raiders. The Raiders are the seventh-worst fantasy defense against the run. So, that means Etienne is in for a huge game.
- Kenneth Walker III is looking to be the best waiver pickup of the year or the best sleeper of the year. He broke another 100 rushing yard day last week and had two touchdowns. On the season Walker has seven touchdowns. He does have a tougher matchup against the Buccaneers this week. But, you gotta run with the hot hand as I have him as my RB9.
- I think it is safe to say it is the Tony Pollard show in Dallas. Ezekiel Elliott has been hurt, but even when he is on the field, Pollard is the star. I have Pollard as my RB12 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are giving up just over 20 fantasy points to running backs this season. The Packers also look like they could be done for the season. I see the Cowboys running all over this defense.
- Lastly, on the other side, I have AJ Dillon as my RB30 against the Cowboys. Aaron Jones got hurt last week and it looks like Dillon should play more this week. However, the Cowboys are the third-best team against the run this year in terms of fantasy. I do not trust either running back and it is safe to say, you need to bench Dillon this week.
