    A crowded backfield can quickly diminish a running back's Fantasy value. And before you try and determine which running back will receive the bulk of the carries moving forward, you need to see SportsLine Fantasy analyst Matt Franciscovich's breakdown of some of the most fluid running back committees heading into Week 10. 

    Franciscovich, spent four seasons at NFL Network as on-camera talent and as a writer/editor, appearing on NFL Fantasy Live, Fantasy & Friends, and NFL Pick'Em. You might remember him best as one of the 'Fantasy Hipsters,' a segment that was nominated for FSWA "Best Video" award in 2016. He's also a featured contributor of the Fantasy Football Black Book, which has spent ample time at No. 1 in Fantasy books on Amazon in 2018 and 2019. Now, Franciscovich is a Content Strategist at EA Sports, focusing on Madden NFL, while continuing to dish out Fantasy takes for SportsLine. He has years of experience handing out league-winning advice, so if there's anybody who can help you win your league, it's him. 

    One thing we can tell you heading into Week 10: Franciscovich likes David Montgomery as the clear-cut lead back in Chicago moving forward.

    "Miraculously, David Montgomery scored two goal-line touchdowns against the Eagles in Week 9, marking his second consecutive productive fantasy outing. The rookie saw a 73% snap share for the second straight game, which is a huge bump up from the 45%-55% range he was getting earlier this season," Franciscovich told SportsLine. "His fantasy value is on the rise, though the Bears offense overall is in somewhat of a downward spiral. Chicago ranks 29th in the NFL in terms of points scored per game and is averaging just 266.6 offensive yards per game. That kind of stagnant production limits the upside of Montgomery going forward, though he's got about as favorable of a matchup as you could ask for in Week 10."

    Franciscovich has also identified another rookie running back who has shown upside and has made the call on what owners should do with San Francisco's crowded backfield.

    So which running backs can you trust in Week 10? And which running back has massive upside Week 10? ... Join SportsLine now to see Matt Franciscovich's analysis, all from one of the top Fantasy football analysts in the nation!
