Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 17: Running back rankings

NFL Week 17 Fantasy Football Running Backs: Sit 'Em

Raheem Mostert - Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots

Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. have shared backfield duties for the Miami Dolphins during the 2022 NFL season. While Mostert appears to have been the preferred option recently, neither makes for a solid streaming option in Fantasy Football in Week 17. The New England Patriots trail only the San Francisco 49ers in fantasy points allowed per game to running backs.

D'Onta Foreman - Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

D'Onta Foreman has been a solid option in Fantasy Football when playing in favorable matchups. He has recorded three top ten finishes this year, including last week against the Detroit Lions. Week 17 is much less favorable for his outlook. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the best overall fantasy defenses, including ranking seventh against running backs.

Gus Edwards - Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Gus Edwards has been out-touched by JK Dobbins by a 31-41 margin over the last three weeks. Dobbins has also been much more productive with his opportunities, further hurting Edwards' Fantasy Football value. He enters Week 17 in a tough matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. While their defense is vulnerable against the passing game, they rank inside the top ten against fantasy running backs.
