Week 10 Fantasy Football: Top Breakout Running Back Committees

As the NFL season approaches Week 10, many teams are increasingly turning to running back (RB) committees. This trend provides opportunities for fantasy football managers navigating bye weeks and injuries. Here’s a breakdown of notable RB committees as owners look to add breakout players to their fantasy lineups.

Top Breakout Running Back Committees for Week 10

• Giants Committee

  The New York Giants have faced tough challenges in their backfield. Following the injury to rookie Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggled to take charge. In Week 9, Jaxson Dart led the rushing with 56 yards. Both Tracy and Devin Singletary played limited roles, making it difficult for fantasy managers to find reliable production.

• Patriots Committee

  With Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined due to injury, TreVeyon Henderson stepped up as the lead back. Henderson played 75% of the snaps in Week 9, achieving 55 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards. If Stevenson misses Week 10, Henderson is a viable RB2, while Terrell Jennings may serve as a touchdown-dependent flex option.

• Cardinals Committee

  In a recent victory against the Cowboys, the Cardinals featured a mix of Bam Knight and Emari Demercado. While Demercado led the team with 79 rushing yards, the impending return of Trey Benson could alter this dynamic. Benson is anticipated to reclaim the top spot upon his return, while Demercado may remain a flex consideration.

• Vikings Committee

  The Minnesota Vikings’ Aaron Jones has struggled with injuries, which has limited his contributions. In Week 9, Jordan Mason performed adequately in relief, but if Jones manages to play in Week 10, he could be a flex option. Otherwise, Mason will need to step up further in Jones’ absence.

• Texans Committee

  The Houston Texans continued to utilize a blend of Nick Chubb and Woody Marks, but struggled offensively in Week 9. Chubb had the most carries but lacked yardage, while Marks saw usage in passing scenarios. With quarterback C.J. Stroud’s possible absence, this committee’s effectiveness in Week 10 is uncertain.

• Broncos Committee

  The Denver Broncos saw R.J. Harvey making strides as J.K. Dobbins continues to take the lead. Harvey has been effective near the goal line, adding five touchdowns in recent weeks. Depending on matchups, both could offer flex value moving forward.

• Jaguars Committee

  The Jacksonville Jaguars utilized both rookie Bhayshul Tuten and veteran Travis Etienne Jr. effectively. While Etienne maintains the bulk of the workload, Tuten’s recent performance may lend him more opportunities. Both players are expected to face tough matchups in the upcoming weeks.

• Commanders Committee

  With Jayden Daniels injured, the Washington Commanders face increased uncertainty in their backfield. Jacory Croskey-Merritt played slightly ahead in snaps, while Chris Rodriguez showed potential with a touchdown. The shift to Marcus Mariota adds further complexity to their fantasy viability.

• Seahawks Committee

  The Seattle Seahawks continue to allocate carries between Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Neither back found the end zone in their last match, and their split remains tricky. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on their usage in upcoming games, especially in goal-line situations.

As Week 10 unfolds, monitoring these backfield dynamics will be crucial for fantasy managers aiming for a competitive edge. Stay tuned for further updates on players’ statuses and performance trends.
