Oct. 8 (UPI) — Jonathan Taylor and Bijan Robinson lead my Top 50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 5.
Kyren Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey are inside the Top 5 of my rankings, which are listed below. James Cook, Aaron Jones Sr., Derrick Henry, Chase Brown and Jaylen Warren are inside my Top 10.
Saquon Barkley and Jadarian Price are among the injured running backs who should be removed from starting lineups. Continue to monitor injury news on Breece Hall, Alvin Kamara and Kyle Monangai, among others.
Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers players, who are on bye, were removed from my rankings. Players from Thursday’s Dallas Cowboys-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game also were removed from my rankings.
