Fantasy Football Week 17 Running Back Rankings: Raheem Mostert, Isiah Pacheco, Finale

Raheem Mostert and Isiah Pacheco are expected to play, while Brian Robinson, Josh Jacobs, and Zack Moss are doubtful.

The latest updates on running back injuries have caused a stir in the fantasy football world. Raheem Mostert is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Ravens due to ankle and knee injuries. This is a blow to Mostert, who has been playing through lower-leg injuries all season. De'Von Achane is expected to take on a larger role, but there are concerns about his ability to stay healthy. Miami may opt to keep him in a 12-15 touch role, with Jeff Wilson taking on more of Mostert's responsibilities. Achane is considered a solid RB2 with significant potential, while Wilson is more of an RB3.

Isiah Pacheco, who was initially expected to miss the game due to shoulder and concussion issues, has been cleared to play. He is expected to resume his typical role, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire serving as a change-of-pace back. Pacheco has a favorable matchup against the Bengals and is considered an RB1 this week, despite some injury risk.

Other notable updates include the return of Brian Robinson from a hamstring injury, Alvin Kamara's expected return from illness, and Kenneth Walker's likely return from a shoulder injury. Josh Jacobs is doubtful, while Zack Moss is out, which means Jonathan Taylor is expected to dominate work for the Colts and is considered a fringe RB1.
