Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em & Sit 'Em: Running Backs - CBS Sports

Watch Now: Christian McCaffrey Out At Least One More Week (1:42)

When considering who to start at running back on your Fantasy team, first you need to know who is available. Injuries always play a huge role at the position, but that has been taken to an extreme so far in 2020. Here are the injuries we're monitoring for Week 5, along with some notes on their chances of playing in Week 5 from Wednesday's edition of the Fantasy Football Today Newsletter. 

First up, the big ones: Nick Chubb (knee) and Austin Ekeler (hamstring) are both heading for IR — you'll see their replacements later in this column. We've also got Leonard Fournette (ankle) and LeSean McCoy (ankle) both looking pretty unlikely for Thursday's game against the Bears, while Carlos Hyde (shoulder) could miss another game. 

On the good news side of things, Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) should be back from IR this week, while Raheem Mostert (knee), Zack Moss (toe), Phillip Lindsay (toe), and Cam Akers (ribs) could all return from multi-week absences, complicating their backfield situations. 

We'll have to monitor these situations for the rest of the week to see who will be in and out, but as of now, that's where injuries stand. To find out who should be in your starting lineup at running back, Jamey's Start 'Em & Sit 'Em calls are here to help.
