Fantasy Football Week 3 Start 'Em & Sit 'Em Running Backs: Tony Pollard should stay hot against the Packers

Robinson was impressive in Week 2 against the Giants with 17 carries for 133 yards and one catch for 3 yards on three targets. He's now scored at least 14.6 PPR points in each of his first two games, and he should stay hot this week against the Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed a running back to gain at least 100 total yards in each of the first two weeks, with Rhamondre Stevenson (21.6 PPR points) in Week 1 and Isiah Pacheco (16.1 PPR points) in Week 2. Robinson has top-10 upside in this matchup on Monday night.

Pollard has established himself as the top running back in Tennessee, and he has at least 19 total touches in each of the first two games against the Bears and Jets. He's scored at least 15.2 PPR points in each outing, and he should stay hot against the Packers in Week 3. Saquon Barkley (33.2 PPR points) and Jonathan Taylor (15.5 PPR points) have each excelled against Green Bay, with both running backs rushing for at least 103 yards in both outings. Pollard should be considered a top-15 running back in all leagues for Week 3.

Montgomery has scored a touchdown in each of the first two games this season against the Rams and Buccaneers, and he now has a touchdown in 13 of 15 healthy games since coming to Detroit last year. I love his involvement in the passing game in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, with four catches for 35 yards on four targets, and this should be a great matchup against Arizona. The Cardinals allowed James Cook to gain over 100 total yards in Week 1, and Kyren Williams scored a rushing touchdown against Arizona in Week 2. Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs should excel in Week 3, and Montgomery is worth starting as a solid No. 2 running back in all leagues.

This could be a big week for White, and hopefully, he does well against the Broncos. He's off to a terrible start running the ball with 25 carries for 49 yards, and thankfully, he caught six passes for 75 yards on six targets in Week 1 against Washington to boost his Fantasy production. Otherwise, we'd really be in a panic. Bucky Irving could be ready for more work, and White is dealing with a minor groin injury, which is something to monitor. But as long as he's able to play against Denver, you should still consider White a No. 2 running back in all leagues. The Broncos have allowed 11 running backs to score at least 12.1 PPR points in their past nine road games going back to last season, including Kenneth Walker III (18.9) and Zach Charbonnet (12.1) in Week 1. This should be a get-right game for White, given the matchup at home. And if White is ruled out with the groin injury, then Irving would be a must-start running back in all leagues.

Swift has been a disaster so far through two games with the Bears. He's combined for 24 carries for 48 yards and four catches for 24 yards on six targets. He's had tough matchups against the Titans and Texans, but things should get better in Week 3 against the Colts. Indianapolis is without its best run-stopper in defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (ankle), who was placed on injured reserve. And the Colts have been absolutely abused through two games against Joe Mixon and Josh Jacobs, who have both rushed for at least 151 yards. Swift won't do that, and we'll see if Khalil Herbert gets more work moving forward, but I would gamble on Swift in this matchup as a No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Singletary was great last week at Washington with 16 carries for 95 yards and, a touchdown, and one catch for 1 yard on one target for 14.5 PPR points. He scored 9.2 PPR points in Week 1 against Minnesota, and I expect that to be closer to his production this week at the Browns. Cleveland has allowed a rushing touchdown in each of the first two games against Ezekiel Elliott and Travis Etienne, but no running back has more than 58 total yards in two games against the Browns. If Singletary doesn't score this week, then his production could be minimal, and he should be considered a flex at best in all leagues.

Williams could benefit if Tampa Bay run stuffer Vita Vea (knee) is out this week, and that's a huge injury to monitor. But even if Vea can't play, it will be hard to trust Williams as anything more than a flex option. He was better in Week 2 against the Steelers (11.5 PPR points) than he was in Week 1 at the Seahawks (3.3 PPR points), and his role in the passing game against Pittsburgh returned with five catches for 48 yards on five targets. But he has 19 carries for 40 yards on the season, and this Denver offense looks awful through two weeks. Almost everyone for the Broncos is worth sitting in the majority of leagues in Week 3.

Elliott played fewer snaps than Rico Dowdle in Week 2 against New Orleans (30-28), and hopefully that's a sign of things to come. Dowdle has more upside than Elliott, who struggled against the Saints with six carries for 16 yards and two catches for 16 yards on three targets. Elliot did score 12.9 PPR points in Week 1 at Cleveland since he found the end zone, but the Ravens should be able to contain Elliott and Dowdle in this matchup. Baltimore allowed Isiah Pacheco to score a touchdown in Week 1, but he was held to 78 total yards. And last week, the Ravens held the Raiders backfield to 41 total yards and no touchdowns.

Harris has been the lead running back for the Steelers through two games, but he's had modest stat lines to show for it. He had 20 carries for 70 yards and one catch for 9 yards on two targets in Week 1 at Atlanta and 17 carries for 69 yards and one catch for 5 yards on two targets in Week 2 at Denver. He's yet to score more than 8.9 PPR points in either game, and Jaylen Warren actually played more snaps than Harris in Week 2 (32-30). The Chargers have yet to allow a rushing touchdown, but they've struggled in the passing game against Alexander Mattison (four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on six targets) and Chuba Hubbard (four catches for 12 yards on five targets). It's doubtful Harris gets many catches this week, and if he doesn't score then his production will be minimal. Consider him a flex option at best in most leagues.

Houston has allowed a running back to score in each of the first two games against Jonathan Taylor and Khalil Herbert, but it's been hard to run on the Texans. Taylor had 16 carries for 48 yards and no catches in Week 1, and D'Andre Swift had 14 carries for 18 yards in Week 2 (he added four catches for 24 yards on five targets). Jones scored 18.9 PPR points in Week 1 at the Giants, but he struggled in Week 2 against San Francisco with nine carries for 32 yards and five catches for 36 yards on six targets, with a lost fumble. Ty Chandler had 10 carries for 82 yards against the 49ers, and we could see him get a bigger workload this week. Jones is still worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues, but don't expect him to have a big game against Houston in Week 3.
