NFL Week 3 Starts and Sits – Running Back

Check out the NFL Week 3 Running back starts and sits to enhance your fantasy football lineup with expert recommendations!

Starts

Jaylen Warren
Jaylen Warren handled 58% of snaps and 14 carries in Week 2, also leading Pittsburgh in receiving yards. That’s key against New England, which has given up the third-most receiving yards to backs. With goal-line work in his favor, Warren is a strong Week 3 play.

Isaiah Pacheco
Isaiah Pacheco has been quiet so far, but Kansas City’s tough early matchups played a role. The Giants’ defense has already given up over 80 yards and a score to multiple running backs. In a softer matchup, Pacheco belongs in flex consideration.

Sits

David Montgomery
David Montgomery remains touchdown-dependent, and Baltimore has allowed just one rushing score all season. With Detroit likely trailing, Jahmyr Gibbs should see more work, leaving Montgomery as a risky flex.

RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey has the talent but not the opportunity, logging only 31% of snaps and 13 touches. With J.K. Dobbins dominating carries and goal-line work, Harvey is an afterthought against a Chargers defense that’s stingy versus the run.
