Stevenson, Conner among 4 must-start Week 5 fantasy football running backs

MIAMI, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Rhamondre Stevenson and James Conner are among my four must-start fantasy football running backs for Week 6.

Derrick Henry leads my Top-30 weekly fantasy football running back rankings. Bijan Robinson, Jordan Mason, Kenneth Walker and Aaron Jones are my other Top 5 options.

Jonathan Taylor, Conner, Kyren Williams, Chuba Hubbard and Brian Robinson Jr. also should be considered Top-10 plays for Week 4.

Hubbard and Javonte Williams join Stevenson and Conner 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.
