1.Jordan Howard Philadelphia Eagles @ Miami Dolphins
Before Jordan Howard hurt his shoulder two weeks ago he was on a role as he had at least 19 carries for 80 yards with 1 rushing touchdown is two straight games. This week if he returns he is faced with a good matchup as he faces the lowly Dolphins. The Eagles will most likely be up in the game and lean on the run game to melt the clock. The Dolphins have given up an average of 28.05 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Le'Veon Bell New York Jets @ Cincinnati Bengals
This season Le'Veon Bell has not been the same RB like he was in Pittsburgh but this week he may play like it. This week he faces the Bengals defense that has not been able to stop anyone in the run game. The Jets will most likely be winning in the game and run the ball more to run out the clock. The Bengals have given up an average of 27.52 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 27th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Chris Carson Seattle Seahawks vs Minnesota Vikings
Last week versus the Eagles Chris Carson's fumbling issue reappeared and it sounds like it may have cost him. After the game Seahawks head coach Pete Carol came out and said that Rashad Penny has earned more carries. Carol said that it will be close to a 50-50 split between Carson and Penny which is not good for Carson. The Vikings have given up an average of 18.39 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 4th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Steelers RBs vs Cleveland Browns
Since Steelers RB James Conner reinjured his shoulder a few weeks ago the Steelers backfield has been a mess. It is hard to get a read on who is the true starter as Jaylen Samuels , Benny Snell Jr. , Kerrith Whyte and Trey Edmunds all got some run last week. With how much the Steelers offense is struggling right now it is hard to feel confident in anyone out of the Steelers backfield. The Browns have given up an average of 19.10 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 6th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
