  "account": "Here's the story written in my own words based on the source provided:\n\nFantasy Football analyst Hayden Winks has released his weekly RB rankings, predicting the most accurate rankings for the position. The column includes film notes and charts to support the rankings. Winks advises readers to revisit the columns through Sunday morning for updates.\n\n1. Jahmyr Gibbs (vs. GB) is projected as the RB1, with a projected 139.5 total yards. Gibbs ranks 28.0 in half PPR points per game and is on pace for a top-10 RB finish all-time. Green Bay allows the second-most points per game to RBs, giving up 18.1 points per game.\n\n2. Christian McCaffrey (at ATL) is projected as the RB5 with a total of 119.5 yards. McCaffrey is the RB7 in half PPR points per game on RB5 usage over his last four games, with a chance to have a season-high 26.1 expected half PPR points again. Atlanta allows top-10 finishes to RBs in the last three games, ranking 13th in half PPR points allowed to RBs.\n\n3. Bijan Robinson (vs. SF) is projected as the RB3 with a total of 119.5 yards. Robinson's target share is down against Michael Penix Jr. compared to other QBs. San Francisco allows the most receiving fantasy points to RBs, ranking 14th in overall half PPR points allowed to backfields.\n\n4. Derrick Henry (vs. CIN) is projected as the RB10 with 89.5 total yards. Henry has a solid workload foundation and is expected to have more scoring chances and better game scripts. The Bengals allow the 16th-most points per game to RBs (16.6).\n\n5. Kenneth Walker III (at SEA) is projected as the RB2 with a total of 119.5 yards. Walker averages 133.0 rushing yards and 21.2 carries per game, making him difficult to avoid in the matchup. The Seahawks allow the fourth-most receiving fantasy points to RBs in the league.\n\n6. Kyren Williams (at LV) is projected as the RB7 with 89.5 yards. Williams had a season-low 8.2 half PPR points last week but should get more involved due to the offense's pass game and Davante Adams' absence. The Raiders rank eighth in half PPR points allowed to RBs.\n\n7. D Andre Swift (vs. NE) is projected as the RB5 with 79.5 yards. Swift had a season-high 20.0 expected half PPR points in Week 6. New England allows the 18th-most points per game to RBs (18.4 HPPR per game).",
