Things have changed as I roll into my Week 4 RB rankings. James Conner is out for the season, along with Najee Harris. So, if you drafted Omarion Hampton, then it looks like the high draft pick is paying off. And, if you took Trey Benson on a flyer, then you could have hit a gold mine. Hampton broke out last week as Harris went out and looks to be a league winner.
On the other hand, Chase Brown and Tony Pollard owners are hitting the panic meter. Unless the Bengals make a trade or turn their offense around, Brown could be a fantasy bust.

Running Back Notes
- Let’s start with Brown, as he was drafted high. I have him as my RB24 against the Broncos this week. He could prove me wrong as the Broncos’ defense has not looked good this year. Not only is Joe Burrow out, but even when Burrow was healthy, Brown only had a game high of 12.1 fantasy points. Since Burrow has been out, Brown has scored 7.5 and 4 fantasy points. He has 93 rushing yards and one touchdown. In those three games, he is averaging 2 yards per carry. Overall, Brown looks like a sit until the passing game gets going. The only upside is that they are playing the Broncos, but the Broncos are at home. All signs point to a sit for this week.
- Next, I have Quinshon Judkins as my RB21 going against the Lions. The Lions looked good against the Ravens last week. Judkins is looking like he could make a difference in this Browns offense. Judkins had 18 carries for 94 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Packers last week. The Packers were looking like a top-2 defense, and Judkins ran all over them. Dylan Sampson only had one carry, so it goes to show Judkins is going to be the workhorse.
- Lastly, I have RJ Harvey as my RB38 going against the Bengals. It looked like Harvey could be an exciting rookie running back, but this is J.K. Dobbins’ backfield. It is worth holding onto Harvey, as Dobbins has been known to go down with injuries. But that isn’t the best reason to hold on to someone, as Dobbins could be healthy all season. Harvey only has 13.4 fantasy points in three games. This isn’t someone to start this week.
