The rookie running backs were the story heading into Week 1, and they will likely command the spotlight again in Week 2. This class has immense talent, and we want all of them to be Fantasy stars right away. But you might have to be patient with several of these guys.

Ashton Jeanty, Dylan Sampson, and Jacory Crosky-Merritt were the only rookie running backs with quality production in Week 1, and Sampson was a nice surprise since we didn't know what to expect from the Browns backfield with fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins out. You can read below what I expect from Sampson in Week 2.

Jeanty didn't have a great game at New England in Week 1, but he found the end zone. And Croskey-Merritt looked solid in his debut against the Giants

Omarion Hampton dominated the workload for the Chargers, which was awesome, but he struggled against the Chiefs. TreVeyon Henderson had six catches, but he had minimal production overall against the Raiders. And RJ Harvey had a 50-yard run against Tennessee, but he was outplayed by J.K. Dobbins, who led the Broncos in playing time.

For Week 2, I'm going to start Hampton and Henderson as No. 2 running backs, which you can read about here. Harvey is more of a flex, but Dobbins should be considered the better Broncos running back for Fantasy managers this week.

And while you can't start Bhayshul Tuten yet in most Fantasy leagues, his outlook did improve since Jacksonville traded Tank Bigsby to Philadelphia. As you'll read below, that's also great news for Travis Etienne heading into Week 2 at Cincinnati.
