Yahoo Fantasy contributor Fred Zinkie has released his Week 9 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em column focusing on running backs involved in committee situations. The analysis aims to help fantasy managers decide which timeshare backs are reliable options for their lineups.

The column evaluates running backs who share carries in their respective backfields, highlighting those with favorable matchups or defined roles that make them viable starters. Zinkie's recommendations are based on recent usage trends, opponent defenses, and game scripts.

Fantasy managers can use this guide to navigate the uncertainty of committee backfields and make informed start/sit decisions for the ninth week of the 2026 NFL season.
