Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 8: Running back rankings

Week 8 Fantasy Football Running Backs: Sit 'Em

AJ Dillon - Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills

Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon

AJ Dillon entered the 2022 NFL season as an exciting Fantasy Football running back to target. Many believed he would challenge Aaron Jones for the lead role in the Packers backfield. It hasn't worked out that way for Dillon as he has been a major disappointment so far.

Dillon has become a bit of an afterthought in his offense, receiving fewer than 10 touches in two of his last three games. His explosiveness has disappeared this year, failing to record a single play of 20 or more yards so far this season.

David Montgomery - Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys

Chicago Bears RB David Montgomery

David Montgomery has been a decent Fantasy Football running back this year, but offers little upside. He has recorded 20 touches or 100 total yards in just one game so far this season and has never scored multiple touchdowns.

Montgomery continues to share the backfield with Khalil Herbert, making it difficult for him to be trusted in Fantasy Football. He should probably only be used in favorable matchups, but the stout Dallas Cowboys defense is a reason to avoid him in Week 8.

James Robinson - New York Jets vs. New England Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson

James Robinson was recently traded to the New York Jets following rookie Breece Hall suffering a season-ending injury. Robinson was in a split backfield with Travis Etienne for the Jacksonville Jaguars and will now be in another one with Michael Carter.

It's unclear how the Jets will distribute backfield touches to their new duo, but it wouldn't be surprising for Robinson to earn the lead role. He has a bright outlook for the rest of the season, but is extremely risky in Week 8. It has been reported that the Jets will ease him into action.
