Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice for Running Backs in Week 1

The NFL season is set to begin, prompting fantasy football enthusiasts to make crucial start or sit decisions regarding their lineups. Expert advice is available to help navigate these choices, particularly for running backs.

Bucky Irving, who has faced multiple injuries, averaged 20.3 touches and 86.5 total yards last season but struggled with efficiency. He is projected to share the backfield with Kenneth Gainwell, who excelled in the latter part of last season. Both players face a Cincinnati defense that has made significant offseason changes.

MarShawn Lloyd is expected to lead the Packers' backfield with Josh Jacobs unavailable. He has shown promise in previous seasons and will face a Minnesota defense that has undergone some changes. Jonathon Brooks is anticipated to split carries with Chuba Hubbard, with both players having potential against a struggling Bears defense. Other notable mentions include Breece Hall, who is expected to perform well against the Titans, and Tony Pollard, who may be the primary back for the Cowboys despite uncertainties in the Titans' defense.
