This often requires them to analyze all of their available options based on their recent individual performances and direct weekly matchups, among other factors. This formula has helped to produce the following list of running backs to target and fade in Week 4 of the 2024 season.

Running backs who have earned the most reliable volume with their NFL teams and are playing in a favorable weekly situation often make for the best options in fantasy football. Aaron Jones checks both of these boxes, making him an excellent target in Week 4 lineups.

Jones currently ranks as the overall RB11 through his first three games with the Minnesota Vikings. He has done so by recording 54 touches for 325 scrimmage yards and two total touchdowns. He can be trusted in starting lineups this week when he gets his first opportunity to face off against the Green Bay Packers, his former team.

Najee Harris is another solid running back to target in fantasy football this week. He has received a massive workload through three games, including 62 total touches, despite playing in less than 60% of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive snaps. He also gets a favorable Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts' struggling defense.

D'Andre Swift entered the 2024 season with high expectations but has failed to deliver so far with the Chicago Bears. He ranks as just the RB42 in fantasy football through his first three games with his new team and has also failed to score a touchdown. He should be faded in all formats until he proves he can be more productive.

Rachaad White is another running back to avoid this week following his disappointing start to the year. He ranks as just the RB33 and has seen his carries decrease in each of his three games so far. He can be avoided in Week 4 lineups.

Here's who else joins them as Week 4 fades:

• D'Andre Swift
• Rachaad White
• Zamir White
• Jaylen Warren
• Javonte Williams
