Week 2 Rankings: Running Backs

It’s time to start thinking about setting your Week 2 lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 2 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you completely covered!

At the quarterback position, you’ll see the big names all ranked prominently with a couple of exceptions. Jared Goff has moved into the top 10 based on a sweet home matchup against Seattle, and rookie Anthony Richardson is in the top 12.

Among the running backs, David Montgomery made a major move upward after a big performance in Week 1, plus a great matchup against the Seahawks. Tyler Allgeier also moved way up the rankings and is now a viable flex option or even a low RB2 in larger leagues. On the flip side, Cam Akers took a huge move down the ranks after losing a ton of snaps and touches to Kyren Williams in Week 1.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
