Jahmyr Gibbs or Kenneth Walker III or David Montgomery: Who should you start in Week 4 fantasy football?

Week 4 of the 2024 fantasy football season concludes with a Monday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks. Both teams feature solid rushing games, so some of the top fantasy running backs will face off. Here's the best one to target in lineups this week between Jahmyr Gibbs, Kenneth Walker III and David Montgomery.

Is Jahmyr Gibbs a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Jahmyr Gibbs

Jahmyr Gibbs has been consistently solid in fantasy football during all three games with the Detroit Lions this year. He has finished as the RB16 or better in every week of the 2024 season, despite sharing the backfield workload with David Montgomery.

The rising star currently ranks as the overall RB19 entering Week 4 and will have a chance to keep things rolling against the Seattle Seahawks. Their defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, so Gibbs could be lined up for a busy day.

Is Kenneth Walker III a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Kenneth Walker III

Kenneth Walker III has missed each of the past two weeks with an injury, but will make his return for the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. In his lone game this season in Week 1, he finished as the RB9, totaling 109 yards and a touchdown.

Walker will look to pick up where he left off, but it won't be an easy task against the Detroit Lions. Their defense allowed the fewest rushing yards per game last year and are off to another strong start to this season.

Is David Montgomery a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

David Montgomery

David Montgomery plays in a true split backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs for the Detroit Lions. While this is often an issue for fantasy football value, both of them have proven to be productive in the system. Like Gibbs, Montgomery has also ranked among the top 20 weekly running backs in all threee games this season.

The veteran currently ranks slightly higher than Gibbs as the overall RB17 this year entering his matchup with the Seahawks. Montgomery has also scored a touchdown in each of his three games so far, so he will look to keep that streak going.
