Play 'EM
1.Phillip Lindsay Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs
This week to help out rookie QB Drew Lock the Broncos may want to lean on the run game this week. The Broncos also may want to run the ball a lot to keep the ball away from the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. In 3 of the last 4 games Phillip Lindsay has had at least 16 carries per game. The Chiefs have given up an average of 29.80 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Chris Carson Seattle Seahawks @ Carolina Panthers
With the news this week that Rashad Penny is out for the season with a knee injury that helps the value of Chris Carson. This week the Seahawks will most likely be beating the Panthers and run the ball a lot which is good for Carson as he will get most of the carries. The Panthers have given up an average of 30.02 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Marlon Mack Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints
Last week in Macks' 2 game absence from a hand injury he found the end zone but this week it may not be as easy. He faces a Saints defense that has not given up a 100 yard rusher in 34 straight games. The Colts will most likely be losing in the game and have to pass the ball more than they run the ball. The Saints have given up an average of 20.51 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 8th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Devonta Freeman Atlanta Falcons @ San Francisco 49ers
This season has been a disappointment for Freeman as he has battled injuries and now it having touchdowns taken by Brian Hill. This week is not a good week to play Freeman as he faces a 49ers defense that held the Saints Alvin Kamara to a bad game last week. The 49ers have given up an average of 16.48 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 2nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
