**Running Backs Shine Bright in Week 7 Fantasy Football**

While quarterbacks faced multiple challenges in Week 7, running backs stepped up to the plate in spectacular fashion. An impressive 11 running backs scored over 20 fantasy points each, offering a significant boost to fantasy team owners. This turn of events will certainly have the "running backs don't matter" crowd reassessing their stance.

Among the standout performers was Philadelphia Eagles' star RB Saquon Barkley, who had a remarkable game against his former team, the New York Giants. Barkley tore through defenses, rushing for 176 yards—the second-highest single-game rushing total of his career. This powerhouse performance earned him a total of 25.7 fantasy points for the day.

Barkley's consistency is noteworthy; he currently ranks as the RB3 in fantasy points per game. His Week 7 performance saw him finish behind only Jahmyr Gibbs and Rachaad White, both of whom scored two touchdowns. Fantasy football enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating Week 8 to see where Barkley, Gibbs, White, and other top running backs will rank next.

Who will be the surprise running back in Week 8? Stay tuned to find out.
