Play ‘EM
Alexander Mattison
Minnesota Vikings vs
Atlanta Falcons
This week Alexander Mattison looks like he will be getting the start at RB for the Vikings as Dalvin Cook suffered a groin injury last week. If Mattison is the starter this week he has the potential to be a top 10 back due to the matchup. He faces a Falcons defense that has been one of the worst this season. The Falcons have given up 29.30 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 25th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
David Montgomery
Chicago Bears @
Carolina Panthers
Since Bears RB Tarik Cohen was lost to injury it has increased the value of David Montgomery. Montgomery has had been more involved in the pass game as he has had 6+ targets in 2 straight games. This week he could be in store for a big game as he faces a Panthers team that has given up an average of 170 scrimmage yards this season to RBs. The Panthers have given up an average of 36.02 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench ‘EM
Joe Mixon
Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts
After having a big game Joe Mixon followed it up with a pretty bad performance last week. This week it probably will be a bad game from Mixon as he has a tough matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have given up one top 15 RB finish this season which does not sound good for Mixon this week. The Colts have given up an average of 17.92 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 3rd ranked defense and defending the RB position.
Mark Ingram
Baltimore Ravens @ Philadelphia Eagles
This season the Ravens backfield has been one of the most frustrating to have any part of. It has really hurt Mark Ingram as he has so much competition for touches. The Eagles have given up an average of 22.20 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 9th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
