As the NFL season heats up, fantasy football owners are on high alert, searching for the next big thing to boost their team's chances of victory. In Week 3, a slew of talented running backs are poised to make a significant impact, and we're here to guide you through the top performers. From established stars to up-and-coming sensations, these five running backs are must-starts for your fantasy team.
First up, De'Von Achane is a force to be reckoned with. After shaking off an ankle injury in Week 2, the Miami Dolphins' speedster racked up 165 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills. With a healthy workload and a favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Achane is set to eclipse 100 yards from scrimmage and find the end zone once more.
Next, Alvin Kamara is on a hot streak, having scored four touchdowns in Week 2 alone. As the New Orleans Saints take on the Philadelphia Eagles, Kamara is poised to dominate once again, with a likely workload of at least 20 touches and a chance to score multiple times.
Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, and Jordan Mason are also on our radar, with promising matchups and potential for big numbers. Henry, a veteran running back, has scored a touchdown in each of his first two games and is set to face a Cowboys team that struggled to stop the Ravens' rushing attack in Week 2. Jacobs, meanwhile, has dominated in his first two games, racking up 235 rushing yards and a touchdown, and is set to face a Titans defense that allowed 114 yards from scrimmage and a score to Breece Hall in Week 2.
Mason, the fill-in running back for the injured Christian McCaffrey, has been a revelation, with two consecutive games of 100+ yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. As the 49ers face a Rams defense that struggled to stop the Ravens' running backs in Week 2, Mason is set to continue his hot streak.
