Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

D’Andre Swift continues to be a top option.

Welcome to Week 7 of the fantasy football season! Also known as, “bye-mageddon!”

That’s right, there are six teams on a bye: Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, New York Jets and Tennessee. That makes the rankings even more important, and we’re here to help with my initial fantasy player lists! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 7 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, D’Andre Swift is in the top 10 and should continue to put up good numbers in what should be a scoreboard scorcher against Miami. I have Jonathan Taylor ranked ahead of Zack Moss in the Colts backfield, but both have tough matchups against the Browns. Speaking of Cleveland, Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt have both moved up with a plus matchup against the Colts next.

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