Fantasy Football Week 6 RB Preview: Key Backup Options

As Week 6 of Fantasy Football approaches, several running backs are expected to miss games due to injuries or byes, prompting teams to seek alternatives. Currently, 22 running backs are averaging at least 11 PPR Fantasy points per game, but seven of them may not play this week.

Among the potential replacements are Blake Corum and Brian Robinson Jr., both of whom are backups but could start for Fantasy teams. Corum, who has been limited in touches due to Kyren Williams' strong performance, averages 4.8 yards per carry and 10.4 yards per reception. With the Rams favored against Arizona, he may see increased opportunities. Robinson, despite a poor outing last week, faces a Bears defense that has struggled against running backs, making him a viable option for scoring.

While players like Dameon Pierce and Jaleel McLaughlin are also on the radar, having Corum or Robinson on the bench provides a safety net for Fantasy managers looking to avoid overspending on uncertain options.
