Modified Nov 06, 2024 17:04 GMT

Week 10 of the 2024 fantasy football season has arrived and managers must now begin working on their starting lineups. Running backs have always been among the most valuable players each week, so it's extremely important to have a proper strategy for this key position. Here are the best ones to target and fade based on their recent performances and weekly matchups.

Fantast Football Week 10 RBs Start 'Em picks

Najee Harris has been on a roll in fantasy football in recent weeks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has finished as the weekly RB16 or better in each of his past three games and has eclipsed 100 rushing yards in all three of them. This makes him a strong pick for Week 10 lineups, especially coming off of a bye week and in a relatively favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders.

James Cook is having a solid 2024 fantasy football season with the Buffalo Bills, currently ranking as the overall RB8 this year. He has been relatively disappointing in recent weeks, finishing outside of the top 25 running backs in two of his past three games, but has an excellent chance of bouncing back against the Indianapolis Colts. They are currently allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

Fantasy Football Week 10 RBs Sit 'Em picks

Austin Ekeler has been a bit disappointing during his first season with the Commanders, but he is coming off his best performance of the year in his most recent game. He truned in 83 scrimmage yards and a touchdown for his first weekly finish among the top 15 running backs. It will be difficult to repeat this output against the Steelers' elite defense, making him a Week 10 fade.

Travis Etienne had a breakout year with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, finishing as the overall RB3 in fantasy football. He has severely regressed during the 2024 season and currently ranks as just the RB40 through nine weeks. He has also seemingly lost the starting role to Tank Bigsby and has a difficult Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' stingy rushing defense.
