Fantasy football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em RB in Week 5: Quinshon Judkins and Emmanuel Wilson inspire new hope

Backup running backs were extremely successful in Week 4, and several could play prominent roles again in Week 5. Let's see which backup running backs you can trust as Fantasy starters for this week.

In Week 4, Kyle Monangai (No. 4 with 28 PPR points), Emanuel Wilson (No. 6 with 27 PPR points), Brian Robinson Jr. (No. 8 with 25.7 PPR points), Alvin Kamara (No. 9 with 22.8 PPR points), RJ Harvey (No. 10 with 19.3 PPR points) and Ollie Gordon II (No. 16 with 18 PPR points) all finished as top-20 running backs. Wilson, Kamara, and Gordon were injury replacements, while Monangai, Harvey, and Robinson just had standout games.

For Week 5, we could see other backup running backs in prominent roles, including TreVeyon Henderson, Tyler Allgeier, and Will Shipley. Rhamondre Stevenson (leg) and Jeremiyah Love (ankle) are dealing with injuries, while Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) are out.

As you'll read below, I'm excited to see what Henderson can do if Stevenson is out for Week 5 against Las Vegas, and he would be a must-start Fantasy running back. And Allgeier would be a flex if Love is out against Detroit.

Shipley makes me nervous, given…
