Play ‘Em Bench ‘Em RBs For Week 5

Play ‘EM


James Conner

Arizona Cardinals vs

San Francisco 49ers

With how well the Cardinals offense is playing means that they are in the red-zone a lot. This is good for James Conner as he is the Cardinals RB who is getting most of the red-zone carries. The 49ers have given up an average of 85 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 4 games that they have played this season. The 49ers have given up 26.78 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 25th ranked defense at defending the RB position.



Cordarrelle Patterson

Atlanta Falcons vs

New York Jets (London)

It looks like Cordarrelle Patterson is finally showing his talent that everyone has been talking about the past few years. Some of what is helping Patterson is the Falcons are devoid of talent which means plenty of opportunities for him to make plays. The Jets have allowed the second-most receiving yards (288) to RBs. The Jets have given up an average of 111 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 3 of the 4 games that they have played this season. The Jets have given up an average of 33.38 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Bench ‘EM


Miles Sanders

Philadelphia Eagles @

Carolina Panthers

Coming into the season it looked like Sanders would be a value pick in drafts but so far he has been a bust. The Eagles have shifted to more of a pass first offense which has cut down on Sanders carries. He also is losing carriers to Kenneth Gainwell who has emerged out of the Eagles backfield. Sanders has had 9 combined carries and a 17.1 percent touch share in the last two games. The Panthers have given up an average of 76 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 0 of the 4 games that they have played this season. The Panthers have given up an average of 12.78 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 3rd ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Myles Gaskin

Miami Dolphins @

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After a strong finish to 2020 Myles Gaskin has really underwhelmed with his play this season. Last season Gaskin was getting most of the carries which led to his success but this season he is losing carries to Malcom Brown. Gaskin has been averaging 7.9 fantasy points in his first four games. The Bucs have allowed just one touchdown and 2.8 yards per attempt to RBs this season. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 42 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 4 games that they have played this season. The Bucs have given up an average of 19.48 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 7th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
