Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season is set to kick off on Thursday. The running back position is one of the most important in fantasy football, so starting the right running back is crucial.
Tony Pollard, Josh Jacobs and J.K. Dobbins are all popular fantasy running backs, but who should fantasy managers start?
Is Tony Pollard a good pickup?
Tony Pollard is a good fantasy pick. He is the Tennessee Titans' RB1 and has been getting plenty of carries.

Pollard did have just six carries last week, which is a bit of a concern, but before that, he had 17 and 16. Pollard should see a boost in carries this week as Tennessee plays a Miami defense that allows 112 rushing yards per game.

Is Josh Jacobs a good pickup?
Josh Jacobs is the Green Bay Packers RB1. He got plenty of carries, over 14 carries in all three weeks so far. His season-high is 32 carries for 151 yards against the Colts.
The Packers play the Vikings, who allow 71.3 rushing yards per game, second-best in the NFL.
Is J.K. Dobbins a good pickup?
J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards were expected to share the bulk of the carries for the Los Angeles Chargers, but Dobbins has taken over as the starter.
Dobbins had 15 carries for 44 yards, but after an ineffective day, that could open the door for Edwards to get more carries in Week 4.
Los Angeles plays the Chiefs, who allow 113.7 rushing yards per game, 13th in the league.
Tony Pollard or Josh Jacobs or J.K. Dobbins: Who Should I Start?
