My running back sleeper and streamer recommendations for Week 4Â have arrived. That means it has been one month of football already. Time goes by too fast. In Week 3, I learned a few things: Handcuffs are crucial, and Isiah Pacheco was one of the worst picks in fantasy football drafts this year. On the other hand, Jordan Mason was an elite choice among streamers. He is an RB1 moving forward with Aaron Jones out. Mason was the RB5 in Week 3 and had 23.6 fantasy points.

Here are the running back sleepers and streamers for Week 4.
Running Back Sleepers
J.K. Dobbins vs Cincinnati Bengals
J.K. Dobbins has been amazing through three weeks. After the injuries he has suffered, dating back to college, it is nice to see him still playing. Currently, Dobbins is the RB10 in full PPR leagues. He had 15.3 fantasy points in Week 3.
In Week 4, Dobbins faces the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals allowed over 30 fantasy points in Week 3 to the Minnesota Vikings running backs. Also, they are allowing the most fantasy PPG to the position through three weeks. Dobbins is one of the better sleepers at the position and is on the verge of becoming a weekly starter.
Quinshon Judkins @ Detroit Lions
Quinshon Judkins has the most rushing yards on the Cleveland Browns, despite missing Week 1. He finished as the RB9 in Week 3 with 16.5 fantasy points. He also has the most rushing yards among rookie running backs and has played in one fewer game than all of them. In Week 3, he did it against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers were allowing the eighth fewest ppg to the position before they faced Judkins.
Now, Judkins faces the Detroit Lions in Week 4. Despite another tough matchup, Judkins is too elite a player to leave on your bench. He is a fabulous choice among all sleepers to see another big game. Judkins will be viewed as a RB1 if he has another great performance against a great defense.
Running Back Streamers
Trey Benson vs Seattle Seahawks
Trey Benson has a chance to be a top 12 running back the rest of the season. He has been playing fairly well through three weeks. Also, James Conner is set to miss the rest of the season with ankle surgery.
Benson gets his shot as the team’s RB1 in a Thursday night matchup against a division rival, the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are allowing the tenth most fantasy points per game to the position and the most receptions to the position. Benson is great in the pass-catching department and has a shot to be a top 15 running back in Week 4. There are not many better streamers than Benson this upcoming week.
D’Andre Swift @ Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders are allowing the fifth most PPG to running backs in the first three weeks. D’Andre Swift is bound to have a top 15 week, as he has not had one yet. Swift was the RB21 in Week 3 and is the RB21 overall on the season.
He has given you consistent RB2 volume, but that is not enough. Especially, being in an offense led by Ben Johnson, it feels like Swift can tap into another side and give amazing fantasy production. In Week 4, he gets that against a bad run defense.
