While there were several strong performances from top names at running back in Week 5, it was Tank Bigsby of the Jaguars who set the pace with more than eight fantasy points more than any other running back. Bigsby wasn’t in my rankings last week, but he makes his debut this week after his breakout performance.
Saquon Barkley is back from his bye week and back in my top spot while the Vikings, Chiefs, Rams and Dolphins get their bye week in Week 6.

- Saquon Barkley (vs. CLE)
