Dowdle, Dobbins among 4 must-start Week 8 fantasy football running backs

MIAMI, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Rico Dowdle and J.K. Dobbins are among my four must-start fantasy football running backs for Week 8.

Joe Mixon leads my Top-30 weekly fantasy football running back rankings. Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Breece Hall and Dobbins are my other Top 5 options.

Kenneth Walker, Jahmyr Gibbs, De'Von Achane, D'Andre Swift and Alvin Kamara also should be considered Top-10 plays for Week 8.

Tony Pollard and Rhamondre Stevenson join Dowdle and Dobbins as my must-start plays. My rankings were compiled based on several factors, including likely workload, strength of opponent, previous matchup history, expected red zone opportunities and predicted game script.
