Week 1 gave us our first look at some familiar running backs in their new homes. Saquon Barkley had an awesome game in his Eagles debut on Friday night in Brazil and had the most points of any running back in Week 1. Just behind him were veterans Joe Mixon and J.K. Dobbins, who also went off in their debuts for ther new teams on Sunday.

Will those successful starts in their new homes continue in Week 2? Who should you be starting or sitting in your backfield? Here are my top 25 RBs to start in Week 2.
