Play 'EM
1.James Conner Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals
So far this season it has been a struggle for Conner but this might be the week that he gets going. The Steelers have talked about getting the run game going to help Mason Rudolph and this is a good week to do that as they face the Bengals who are poor at stopping the run. The Bengals have given up an average of 38.80 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Kerryon Johnson Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs
If the Lions want to upset the Chiefs they need to make sure to feature Jonson early and often. This is good for his value this week as he will have plenty of opportunities to make plays in the game. Last week the Chiefs could not stop Mark Ingram as he had 3 rushing touchdowns in the game. The Chiefs have given up an average of 31.15 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Frank Gore Buffalo Bills vs New England Patriots
So far this season Gore has had a touchdown in 2 of the 3 games but this week he will have trouble as he faces the Patriots. The Patriots so far this season have not given up a score to the opposing offense that they have faced. The Patriots have given up an average of 13.05 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 3rd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Peyton Barber Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Los Angles Rams
This week would be a good week to leave Barber on the bench as he takes on the Rams. The Bucs have a bad offensive line trying to block Pro Bowl defensive tackle Aaron Donald which is a bad combination for trying to run the ball. Game script will also be a problem as the Buccaneers will most likely be down and abandon the run game. The Rams have given up an average of 13.05 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 5th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
