The fifth week of the NFL season has come and gone, and we’ve already entered the bye weeks. The good news is that only two teams, the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings, are off the board. There is also another international game, as the Denver Broncos face the New York Jets in London (9:30 a.m. ET).

The Week 6 RB rankings will be without high-end running backs like Bucky Irving and Omarion Hampton, who are both injured. We’re also seeing former studs like Derrick Henry and Alvin Kamara fall on hard times, while rookies Quinshon Judkins and Jacory Croskey-Merritt are on the rise. In fact, Judkins is now on the low-end, RB1 radar at the position.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football running back rankings for the sixth week of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
