Play 'EM
1.Mark Ingram Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
This season Mark Ingram has been one of the better draft bargains as he was drafted as a bench player and has turned into a solid second RB. Lamar Jacksons ability to run the ball helps Ingram as the defense has to account of Jackson in the run game too. This week the Ravens will probably be up in the game and turn to the run game to melt the clock. The Bengals have given up an average of 31.17 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Derrek Henry Tennessee Titians vs Kansas City Chiefs
This week if the Titians want to pull the upset they will need to feed Henry the ball. They need to keep the ball away from the Chiefs offense because last week Tyreek Hill showed last week that he can score from anywhere from the field. The Chiefs have given up an average of 30.50 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Devonta Freeman Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
This season Freeman has struggles because the Falcons have been losing in most of their games and have not run the ball that much. This week should be no different as they face a Saints team that is a lot better than the Falcons. The Saints defense has not allowed a 100 yard rusher in 30 straight games. The Saints have given up an average of 16.63 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 4th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Cardinals RBs @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With the return of David Johnson, the emergence of Chase Edmonds and the acquisition of Kenyan Drake has made the Cardinals backfield of mess to try to get a read on. Until we get more clarity of how the carries will be split its best to leave all of the Cards RBs on the bench. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 15.93 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 2nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
