Fantasy Football: Backup RB Rankings as we head into Week 7

As Week 7 approaches, fantasy managers are eyeing backup running backs who could step into larger roles or provide short-term value. **Braelon Allen** has been the Jets’ primary back since Breece Hall’s injury, racking up 253 rushing yards across three games while averaging over 4.0 yards per carry.

If Hall remains sidelined for the Dolphins matchup, Allen could emerge as a high-end flex option—or even a borderline RB1 in a favorable home game. Meanwhile, **Woody Marks** took over for the Texans after David Montgomery’s groin injury, though his Week 6 performance was mixed, with Jawhar Jordan outplaying him on the ground.

Marks’ limited pass-catching and sub-3.5 yards-per-carry average mean he’ll need Montgomery’s absence to justify a flex spot this week against the Giants. **Kyle Monangai**’s return from thumb and toe injuries could also be pivotal for the Bears, who struggled offensively in Week 6.

If he plays Thursday Night Football, he may surpass D’Andre Swift in touches, offering a potential RB2 play. Over in Denver, **RJ Harvey** flashed versatility with a touchdown and 25 rushing yards in the Broncos’ overtime win, though the offense as a whole remains stagnant.
