Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The fantasy football running back landscape continues to evolve entering Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. Some established stars have maintained their elite status while several emerging options are forcing their way into the conversation. Of course, each comes with a different level of risk. Injuries could also have a major impact on Week 5 lineups, with several backs facing uncertain statuses.Week 5 Top Fantasy Football PicksJahmyr Gibbs, DET (@ ARI)Lon Horwedel-Imagn ImagesJahmyr Gibbs didn’t have his most productive outing of the season in Week 4. However, there is little reason to move him out of the elite tier. Gibbs rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries while adding 31 yards on four receptions in Detroit’s 32-26 loss to Carolina. His 77 total yards and 3.1 yards per carry and four receptions were season lows.Even so, Gibbs found the end zone for the seventh time through four games. That touchdown consistency is a major reason why fantasy managers should remain confident. The Lions travel to Arizona in Week 5. Gibbs remains an elite dual-threat option with the workload and explosiveness necessary to produce a major fantasy performance.Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Bijan Robinson, ATL (vs. BAL)Bijan Robinson led Atlanta in Week 4 with 145 rushing yards while averaging a remarkable 7.6 yards per carry. He also scored twice. His passing-game production was less impressive, but that was largely a product of game script. Atlanta built a substantial lead and didn’t need to rely heavily on Robinson as a receiver.Robinson has been stellar through the first four weeks. His combination of rushing efficiency, receiving ability, and touchdown upside makes him one of the safest high-ceiling options at the position. He now faces Baltimore in Week 5 and should remain firmly entrenched as an RB1.Derrick Henry, BAL (@ ATL)Derrick Henry continues to deliver exactly what fantasy football managers want from an elite running back: volume and touchdowns. Henry rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in Baltimore’s win over Tennessee. He also caught both of his targets for six yards. The rushing volume remains particularly encouraging. Twenty-three carries gives Henry a strong opportunity to produce even when his efficiency isn’t spectacular.He’ll face Atlanta in Week 5 and should once again be viewed as a key RB1.Week 5 Fantasy Football SleepersCam Skattebo, NYG (@ WAS)Cam Skattebo’s Week 4 box score doesn’t tell the entire story of his fantasy football outlook. Skattebo rushed 18 times for 58 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in New York’s 36-24 win over Arizona. That’s obviously disappointing, but the workload remains encouraging.Skattebo continues to receive enough touches to remain fantasy relevant. Week 5 provides an opportunity to bounce back against Washingto
