As fantasy football playoffs approach, Chase Brown emerges as a top running back option, even surpassing Saquon Barkley in desirability. Alongside him, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Josh Jacobs are also must-starts. Notably, David Montgomery's season-ending injury opens opportunities for others.
James Conner of the Arizona Cardinals is highlighted for his strong performance, while Josh Jacobs continues to dominate for the Green Bay Packers. Jerome Ford is a potential waiver wire gem following Nick Chubb's injury.
On the flip side, Rico Dowdle and Isiah Pacheco are advised against starting due to tough matchups. Joe Mixon is also a player to temper expectations for, given the Kansas City Chiefs' strong defense against running backs.
