Play ‘EM
Najee Harris
Pittsburgh Steelers vs
Las Vegas Raiders
In Najee Harris first NFL game it was somewhat of a disappointment but there are some reasons why he should improve this week. The main reason Harris should have a chance to improve this week it the fact that he played 100% of the Steelers offensive snaps last week versus the Bills. The Raiders have given up an average of 98 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 1 games that they have played this season. The Raiders have given up 31.20 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 27th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Miles Sanders
Philadelphia Eagles vs
San Francisco 49ers
On Sunday the 49ers allowed the Lions to have 2 top 10 scorers at the RB position in terms of fantasy points. This is good for Miles Sanders as it looks like the Eagles have a strong run game as they run the QB read which keeps the defense guessing on who is going to run the ball. The 49ers have given up an average of 93 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 1 games that they have played this season. The 49ers have given up an average of 49.40 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench ‘EM
Mike Davis
Atlanta Falcons @
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
On Thursday night the Buccaneers defense held Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott to a poor game which means trouble for Mike Davis as Elliott is a better back than Davis. Usage could be a problem for Davis as Cordarrelle Patterson saw a lot of carries out of the backfield. Game script could also work against Davis as Atlanta will most likely fall behind and have to throw the ball more than run the ball. The Bucs defense since Week 9 2020, has surrendered just 3 total touchdowns and the 7th fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 47 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 0 of the 1 games that they have played this season. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 14.20 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 9th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Mark Ingram
Houston Texans vs
Cleveland Browns
On Sunday Mark Ingram got most of the backfield carries but that may not be the case this week. He got most of the carries due to the fact that the Texans got a big lead and where running out the clock. This week the Texans will most likely be down on the scoreboard and have to abandon the run game. The Browns defense has allowed only 5 total touchdowns and the 2nd fewest fantasy points to RBs in the last 9 games. The Browns have given up an average of 49 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 0 of the 1 games that they have played this season. The Browns have given up an average of 10.80 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 5th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
