Over 50 running backs will score fantasy points this weekend, but 25 of them stand out above the rest.

Let's discuss the top 25 running backs you need to be starting this week.

In Tier 1 is very simple.

We don't have to spend much time here.

Austin Echler is the number one running back followed by Derek Henry.

Henry, who has 25 plus touches in five straight games, and Austin Echler, who's on pace to set the NFL record with 117 RB receptions.

Things start to actually get interesting in Tier 2 right here.

And we can start by looking at the top of Tier 2 where Josh Jacobs is my running back 3 this

week.

We saw some very interesting usage in week 8 out of Jacobs.

He was seeing all the passing game work, but this past week only 17 routes run compared

to 14 for the backup amir abdula and this led to

josh jacobs having his worst fantasy day of the week abdula actually had five targets and it's

strange because if we look at josh jacob snaps the entire season you're getting 60 to 70 to then these

last couple of weeks he was a workhorse back playing 80% of the snaps until this past week they

took him off the field which they haven't done this year in passing situations while trailing only 54% of the snaps so let's hope this trend doesn't

continue but the good news is in this matchup this week he shouldn't have to worry about it the

raiders are going to take on the jaguars who rank 32nd in tackling and this is big because

josh jacobs is the second best running back at breaking tackles in the NFL. Because of this, I like Josh Jacobs over 77.5 rushing yards this week.

And his player prop, you get a free bet up to $100 if you want to use the link in the

Now, my running back for this week is going to be Aaron Jones, who's going to get a matchup
