Play 'Em
1. Aaron Jones vs Atlanta Falcons
This week Jones goes up against a Falcons defense that allowed the Ravens to run all over them last week. With the coach change in Green Bay they should look to exploit the Falcons poor run defense. The Falcons have given up an average of 31.2 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2. Austin Ekeler vs Cincinnati Bengals
Last week Ekeler did not have a good game as the Chargers were behind most of the game and where throwing the ball more than running. This week that should not be the case as the Chargers should get out to an early lead versus the Bengals and run the ball more this week. The Bengals have given up an average of 32.9 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'Em
1. Jordan Howard vs Los Angles Rams
This season Howard has been a disappointment and will continue as he faces the tough Rams defensive line and he has been overtaken by Tarik Cohen. The Rams have Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh who are excellent in the run game. The Rams have given up an average of 23.21 point per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 11th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2. Joe Mixon @ Los Angles Chargers
Last week Mixon struggled as the Bengals fell behind in the game and had to abandon the run game. That should be the case this week as the Bengals face a much better team in the Los Angles Chargers and he will face a stacked box as A.J. Green is out for the season. The Chargers have given up an average of 25.2 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 18th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
