Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

Zack Moss is closing in on top 10 status.

Welcome to Week 4 of the fantasy football season!

It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 4 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Zack Moss has made a massive move into the top 12. Kenneth Walker III is in the top 10, but Joe Mixon and Rhamondre Stevenson have moved down a few spots based on tough Week 4 opponents. Both are still in the RB2 conversation. Breece Hall and Najee Harris continue to drop, though the latter has a get-right matchup in Houston. The question is, can he take advantage?

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
