3) Jahmyr Gibbs vs. Philadelphia
After last week, this guy should be #1, right? Yes, he should, and he could be #1 overall in any given week. He’s that talented. The only issue I have with Gibbs is that he tends to follow up monster games with quiet ones because the coaching staff feels bad for David Montgomery. I mean, they have another great back who is a key contributor to this offense, and they want to keep him involved (whatever). Gibbs can take the top off any defense in the league on any given play, but he still has to split the workload with Monty. He’s never going to fall out of my top 10 running back rankings, but it’s tough to place him in the top two because he won’t get many touches in the red zone, and there’s always a chance he goes without a touchdown. He has scored in five of his nine starts and is a must-start every week in all formats.

4) Josh Jacobs vs. The Giants
Jacobs will score a touchdown. Jacobs always scores touchdowns. He scores so often that he even scores when nobody else in the game can. Last week, the Packers lost 10-7 to the Eagles. Guess who scored their only touchdown? OK, you get my point. He’s scored in eight of his nine games this season, with a total of 11 touchdowns. This week, he faces the Giants and their 31st-ranked rush defense. He’s a lock in your starting lineup.
5) De’Von Achane vs. Washington
This is another player who could and should easily be ranked higher. He’s coming off a dominant performance against the Bills, where he totaled 225 yards combined, caught 6 passes, and scored two touchdowns for a total of 43.5 fantasy points. My condolences if you own him and lost to Jonathan Taylor. The two rushing touchdowns were encouraging, as it was only the third game this season in which he scored on the ground. He has added four more receiving touchdowns, giving him a total of nine scores, tying him for 4th in the league with Davante Adams and Javonte Williams. He very well may be the overall RB1 this week as he faces a Commanders defense ranked 23rd against the run and 25th in DVOA against the RB position.
