Week 7 fantasy running back rankings: Top RB streamers, starts

Fantasy football managers all know the importance of a star running back.

There aren't very many of them, and the advantage they give you over your opponents on a weekly basis can make a good fantasy team great. That's why Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson were the first two picks in just about every draft this summer.

You can now add a third name to that list. Kenneth Walker of the Chiefs is playing like a true superstar so far this season. He leads the NFL in rushing at 133 yards per game and is right behind Gibbs for the most fantasy points among RBs.

Maybe we should start calling him Kenneth Runner.

WEEK 7 BYES: Buffalo, Jacksonville, L.A. Chargers, Washington
