Antonio Gibson Washington Football Team vs Detroit Lions

Bench ‘EM
Jerick McKinnon San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints
This week may be a bad week for 49ers RB Jerick McKinnon as he has a tough matchup versus the Saints. The possible return of Tevin Coleman also could make things difficult for McKinnon this week as he would have more competition for carries in the 49ers backfield. The Saints have given up an average of 69 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have not given up a top 10 RB finish so far this season. The Saints have not given up a 100 yard rusher in 51 straight games. The Saints have given up an average of 19.15 points per game to opposing RBs this season.

Joe Mixon Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
This season has been a really rough season so far for Joe Mixon and will not get any better this week. Last week the Steelers held the Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott to only 51 rushing yards. Mixon is coming off of a foot injury which could mean that the Bengals limit his touches this week. The Steelers have given up an average of 82 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 8 games that they have played this season. The Steelers have given up an average of 17.70 points per game to opposing RBs this season.
