Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 10: Running back rankings

NFL Week 10 Fantasy Football Running Backs: Sit 'Em

Najee Harris - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints

Najee Harris has been a massive disappointment during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He was a consensus first-round pick during the draft season, having been selected in the top-five in many fantasy drafts.

Harris has filed to crack the top ten in PPR scoring in any game this season, while finishing outside the top 25 five times. The New Orleans Saints will be a difficult team to turn things around against. They are among just 23 defenses allowing less than 20 points per game to running backs.

Melvin Gordon III - Denver Broncos vs. Tennessee Titans

Melvin Gordon III became a popular fantasy running back target when Javonte Williams initially went down with a season-ending injury. He has failed to live up to expectations and has been unable to secure the starting role. He instead shares carries with Latavius Murray.

Further complicating things in Denver, the Broncos recently acquired Chase Edmonds prior to the NFL trade deadline. Their backfield is a situation to avoid in Fantasy Football, at least until the workload distribution becomes more clear.

Eno Benjamin - Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams

Eno Benjamin has been a solid streaming option at running back in recent weeks. He put together a stretch where he finished in the top 25 in PPR points in three consecutive weeks, including a season-best RB6 finish in Week 7.

The issue for Benjamin is that James Conner has officially returned from his injury. This resulted in a season-low five touches in Week 9 for Benjamin. He can be avoided in Week 10 and can also probably be safely dropped from fantasy rosters.
