Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

Austin Ekeler returns to action, facing the Cowboys on Monday night.

Welcome to Week 6 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 6 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Raheem Mostert has moved into the top eight with the absence of rookie De’von Achane. Alvin Kamara is in the top 10 against the Texans, and Breece Hall is in the top 20 despite a tough matchup against the Eagles. Derrick Henry, on the flip side, has fallen out of the top 15 backs. I also have Zack Moss ranked ahead of Jonathan Taylor, but check back for updates on that.
