Below are our updated Week 4 running back rankings for full-PPR scoring. Each projection factors in DraftKings team totals, opponent matchup data and depth chart snap shares across the full slate.
Week 4 RB Rankings
Rankings are for full-PPR scoring.
Opp Rank = opponent ranking in DK fantasy points allowed to the position (1st = toughest, 32nd = most generous), blending 2025 full-season data with limited 2026 results.
Projected points blend 2025 per-game DK fantasy averages (40%) with 2026 weekly performance (60%), adjusted for opponent matchup, game environment, snap share and expected game script.

Injuries to Monitor
- Ashton Jeanty † (Ankle): Appeared on Thursday’s practice report with an ankle injury but was a full participant. No practice time has been missed.
- Bucky Irving † (Glute): Remained a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, a second straight day of capped work.
- D’Andre Swift † (Knee): New to the injury report and did not practice Thursday. Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson are the other backs on Chicago’s active roster.
- Tony Pollard † (Foot): Practiced without limitations Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Handled a season-high 21 touches in Sunday’s loss to the Giants.
- J.K. Dobbins † (Hip): Full participant in Thursday’s practice and carries no restriction into the weekend.
- Rachaad White (Shoulder): Did not practice Thursday, his second straight absence. Recently signed Austin Ekeler could handle passing-down work in a backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen, so White is not ranked.
- George Holani † (Rib): Limited participant again Thursday. With Jadarian Price sidelined and Zach Charbonnet still ineligible, Seattle has backfield snaps to replace.
- Keaton Mitchell †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Jaylen Wright † (Stinger/Foot): Full participant in Thursday’s practice after being limited Wednesday. Was inactive for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
- Jadarian Price (Chest): Did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Seattle has described him as sidelined, so he is not ranked.
- Tyjae Spears † (Ankle): Returned as a limited participant in Thursday’s practice after sitting out Wednesday. Aggravated the ankle during Sunday’s game against the Giants and handled only three touches.
- Tyrone Tracy Jr. † (Knee): Returned to limited participation in Thursday’s practice after sitting out Wednesday, per Dan Salomone of the Giants’ official site. Najee Harris handled nine carries in Sunday’s win over the Titans.
- Will Shipley †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
DraftKings DFS Value Plays
Aaron Jones Sr. ($6,000) — Vikings vs. Dolphins
Game environment: Vikings -10.5, O/U 38.5 (24.5 team total)
Last week: 14.2 DK points @ TB
2025 PPG: 10.0 DK fantasy points (12 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 13.2
Miami has been the most generous defense in the league against running backs on a blended 2025 and 2026 basis, and Jones carries a 69% snap share, the largest in the Minnesota backfield. Jordan Mason is on injured reserve with a thumb injury, which removes the only real competition for goal-line work. The 10.5-point spread is the second largest on the slate, the kind of margin that funnels second-half carries to a lead back. At $6,000 he is priced below several committee backs who are working in neutral game environments.
Jeremiyah Love ($5,800) — Cardinals @ Giants
Game environment: Cardinals -2.5, O/U 44.5 (23.5 team total)
Last week: 21.9 DK points @ SF
2025 PPG: No 2025 NFL sample (rookie)
Projected DraftKings points: 12.3
James Conner and Trey Benson are both on injured reserve, leaving Love and Tyler Allgeier as the only Arizona backs with defined roles. Love turned a 49% snap share into 21.9 DK points in Week 3, his best output of the season, and the snap count should climb with the room this thin. New York has allowed the 23rd most DK fantasy points to the position on a blended basis, and Arizona’s 23.5 team total sits above the league-average scoring environment. At $5,800 he is priced as a committee back while handling lead-back volume.
Woody Marks ($4,700) — Texans vs. Cowboys
Game environment: Texans -3, O/U 48.5 (24.5 team total)
Last week: 9.1 DK points @ IND
2025 PPG: 9.1 DK fantasy points (16 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 8.6
Marks holds a 45% snap share behind David Montgomery, a split that has produced a steady floor rather than a single spike. Dallas has allowed the 27th most DK fantasy points to running backs on a blended basis, one of the softer matchups on the Sunday main slate. The 48.5 over/under is among the highest on the slate, and Houston’s 24.5 team total supports scoring chances for both backs. At $4,700 Marks is the cheaper half of a Houston backfield working in the best scoring environment available at his salary tier.
