Fantasy Football Week 5 Start/Sit Advice for Running Backs

This week’s fantasy football advice focuses on running backs as players prepare for Week 5 matchups. Fantasy expert Derek Brown provides insights on several key players to help managers make informed lineup decisions.

Emanuel Wilson, who was the RB6 last week, is expected to maintain his role as Seattle's lead back, having played over half the snaps and achieving significant yardage. Aaron Jones is anticipated to continue his high-volume role for Minnesota against a struggling Saints defense. Braelon Allen is set to start for the Jets with Breece Hall sidelined, while Ollie Gordon is projected to have another solid performance against Cincinnati.

Rhamondre Stevenson is listed as questionable due to a knee injury but is expected to play, sharing duties with TreVeyon Henderson. Meanwhile, the Chargers' backfield remains a three-way committee, complicating the situation for fantasy managers. Alvin Kamara's status is uncertain due to a knee and back issue, but he is still expected to lead his team in touches. Other players like Will Shipley and Tony Pollard face tough matchups, making their fantasy value uncertain this week.
