Play 'EM
1.Devonta Freeman Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts
So far this season Freeman has been a huge disappointment as he plays on one of the more explosive offenses in the league. So far this season the Falcons have not established the run as they have been down and have had to throw to stay in the game. This week they should look to get Freeman and the running game going as they face the Colts who have struggled versus the run. The Colts have given up an average of 33.30 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Leonard Fournette Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titians
With this being a short week and having a rookie QB this very well could shape up to be a Leonard Fournette type of game. Getting the run going will help the rookie QB and the entire offence as there will be fewer chances of turning the ball over to the Titians. The Titians have given up an average of 23.10 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 18th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Adrian Peterson Washington Redskins vs Chicago Bears
In his first game action of 2019 Peterson scored a touchdown but that was about all he did as he had only 25 rushing yards in the game. This week it will probably be the same as they face a Bears defense that has one of the best defensive lines. Game script will be a problem as the Redskins will be most likely trailing in the game and abandon the run or have one of their pass catching backs in the game. The Bears have given up an average of 17.10 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 9th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.LeSean McCoy Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens
It is tough to play McCoy this season as he is in a running back committee and you do not know if he will have a few carries or a bunch of carries. He also is nursing an ankle injury that may hinder his playing ability. The Ravens have given up an average of 9.55 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
