Week 4 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Chase Brown Falls Out Of Top 15

The running back rankings continue to look mostly chalk at the top, but several players have moved up this week and a few have moved down.
Kenenth Walker III is among the low RB1s, and Jordan Mason is now a near must-start runner. Omarion Hampton also moved up with a good performance and the loss of Najee Harris in Los Angeles.
I also have Cam Skattebo in the RB2 range with Tyrone Tracy Jr. out of action for several weeks, and Trey Benson is now an RB2/flex with James Conner (foot) out for the rest of the season.
On the flip side, Chase Brown has moved down into the lower RB2 range in what is now a questionable Bengals offense. Rhamondre Stevenson has also fallen after his two lost fumbles last week. Jacory Croskey-Merritt is a risky flex in a Washington committee.
With that said, here are my fantasy running back rankings for Week 4.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
