Welcome to our Start em Sit em Fantasy Football Week 10 Running Backs (RB) article. The fantasy football season is in full swing, and Week 10 brings us another exciting slate of matchups. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the NFL, it’s crucial to make the right start em, sit em decisions, especially when it comes to your running backs. In this article, we’ll break down some key insights for Week 10, focusing on running backs (RBs), and help you make informed choices for your fantasy team.
Start Em
Breece Hall vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Las Vegas has been a haven for opposing running backs lately, allowing over 31 fantasy points per game to the position in the last four weeks. Names like Saquon Barkley, Jir Gibbs, and Dante Foreman have all thrived against the Raiders’ defense. Breece Hall, who led the league in yards per carry at one point this season, is a must-start option. The only person capable of stopping him might be Arthur Smith.
Rashad White vs. Tennessee Titans
The narrative around not starting running backs against the Titans’ defense has changed this season. Over the past four weeks, Tennessee has given up over 22 fantasy points per game to RBs, ranking them inside the top 12 in points yielded by position. Rashad White, a unique RB who also excels as a receiver, is an enticing option. He’s seen four or more targets in four straight games and commands 73% of the running back opportunities in Tampa Bay.
David Montgomery vs. Los Angeles Chargers
David Montgomery is back, and he’s bringing a revamped Chicago Bears’ offensive line with him. The Chargers have allowed over 23 fantasy points per game to running backs this season. With Montgomery’s return and the desire of Dan Campbell‘s Lions to establish the run, expect him to have a significant role. Despite missing three games, Montgomery has accounted for 39% of the Lions’ carries this season.
Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts have been generous in allowing rushing touchdowns, second only to the Carolina Panthers. Indy also concedes over 25 fantasy points per game to RBs. Rhamondre Stevenson has shown his receiving skills lately, catching four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in his recent outing. Stevenson is a solid start in a New England offense that’s still finding its footing.

Sit Em
Jerome Ford vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have been stingy against opposing running backs this season, allowing less than nine fantasy points per game and less than 92 rushing yards per game. Ford may not find much success against this tough defense. Consider other options, especially in PPR formats where a pass-catching back like Kareem Hunt could be more valuable.
Gus Edwards vs. Cleveland Browns
Gus Edwards has been on fire in recent weeks, finding the end zone six times in the last three games. However, he faces a formidable Cleveland Browns defense that ranks sixth in rushing yards allowed per game and fourth in fantasy points surrendered to running backs. While it’s tempting to ride the hot hand, it might be wise to sit Edwards in this matchup.
Alexander Mattison vs. New Orleans Saints
Despite Cam Akers‘ Achilles injury, Alexander Mattison isn’t a guaranteed start. The New Orleans Saints are a top-five defense when it comes to limiting opposing running backs in fantasy. With the Saints likely focusing on shutting down other key offensive threats, they can allocate resources to contain Madison. Look for alternatives in Week 10.
In conclusion, Week 10 presents intriguing opportunities and challenges for fantasy football managers. Be sure to weigh your options carefully and consider the matchup, recent performances, and usage when making your start em, sit em decisions for running backs.
