1.Joe Mixon Cincinnati Bengals @ Miami Dolphins
After a slow start to the season Mixon has finally gotten going the last two weeks as he has had at least 23 rush attempts for 136 rush yards and a touchdown in one of those games. This trend should continue this week as the Bengals face a Dolphins defense that has been one of the worst at defending RB position this season. The Dolphins have given up an average of 27.84 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Marlon Mack Indianapolis Colts vs Carolina Panthers
This week the Colts after a poor performance in New Orleans versus the Saints will want to get back on track and getting the run game going should help that this week. Last week the Seahawks Chris Carson had a big game as he had 133 rushing yards with 2 rushing touchdowns which is good for Mack this week as the Panthers struggle to stop opposing RBs. The Panthers have given up an average of 30.08 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Derrick Henry Tennessee Titians vs New Orleans Saints
Last week in the game versus the Texans Derrick Henry looked as if his hamstring injury hampered him in the game as he did not have a good game. This week may not be any better because he faces a Saints defense that has not given up a 100 yard rusher in 35 straight games. Game flow also may be an issue as the Titians will most likely be losing and abandoned the run game and throw the ball more in the game. The Saints have given up an average of 20.03 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 6th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Sony Michel New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills
This season has been a lost season for Michel as he has not had a touchdown since week 7 versus the New York Jets. This week that will probably not stop as Michel faces a tough Bills defense and when Rex Burkhead plays that has an adverse affect on Michel this season. The Bills have given up an average of 22.55 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 12th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
