Fantasy Football Running Back Handcuff Rankings for Week 7

As the NFL season progresses into Week 7, several fantasy football handcuffs have emerged as significant contributors. Notably, Zach Charbonnet is expected to return this Sunday, making him a player to consider adding.

Emmett Johnson has taken the lead in the rankings, being the only running back besides Kenneth Walker III to have touches for Kansas City this season. With the Chiefs on a bye, Johnson may play a crucial role later in the season. Other notable mentions include Kyle Monangai, who is seen as a better option than Roschon Johnson, and Blake Corum, who has recently matched Kyren Williams' performance.

In the Cardinals' backfield, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight are sharing touches, with Knight leading in total yards. Brian Robinson Jr. remains a backup to Bijan Robinson, while Rico Dowdle is close to breaking into Tier 1. The upcoming Thursday Night Football game between the Bears and Patriots may also present opportunities for backup running backs.
