Week 5 Start/Sit - Running Back - Preview

Week 5 is here, and fantasy managers are starting to get a clear picture of who they can rely on. With injuries piling up and matchups becoming more telling, making the right start/sit calls is crucial for running backs.

Start: Woody Marks Woody Marks finally cashed in on his stash appeal, piling up 119 yards and two scores on 21 touches against Tennessee.

Against a battered Ravens defense that’s giving up big yardage and touchdowns to backs, Marks is a strong RB2.

Sit: RJ Harvey RJ Harvey popped with 19.8 PPR points against Cincinnati but remains a risky play. Philadelphia hasn’t allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 1, and Harvey is still splitting work with J.K. Dobbins. He’s nothing more than a desperation flex.
