Wild Card Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

The Lions defense might be tough but it’s hard to ignore Kyren Williams.

Wild Card Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs /

The regular season is over, but you can still play in a postseason fantasy league! For those of you who still have that fantasy itch that needs to be scratched, here are my wild-card round player rankings. As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the wild-card edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Kyren Williams is at the top despite a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions. Isiah Pacheco should get a lot of burn in the icy cold conditions at Arrowhead Stadium, and I like Rachaad White against the Philadelphia Eagles. Their defense has gone down the tubes in recent weeks against backs.

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