Play ‘EM


James Robinson

Jacksonville Jaguars vs

Miami Dolphins

At the start of the season James Robinson was not get the usage that he needed to make him fantasy viable. After the first two weeks the Jags realized that they should better utilize Robinson in the offense. Robinson has had at least 20 points in three consecutive games this season. The Dolphins have given up an average of 120 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 5 games that they have played this season. The Dolphins have given up 31.14 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Najee Harris

Pittsburgh Steelers vs

Seattle Seahawks

This week the Steelers may lean on the run game a little more. This may be the case as the Steelers are down a receiver in JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Seahawks have given up an average of 126 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 2 of the 5 games that they have played this season. The Steelers have given up an average of 31.14 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Bench ‘EM


Devontae Booker

New York Giants vs

Los Angeles Rams

This week the Giants are turning to Devontae Booker as Saquon Barkley is out with an ankle injury. This may not be the week to play Booker as he is facing the Rams who have one of the best rush defenses in the NFL. The Rams have given up an average of 38 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 2 of the 5 games that they have played this season. The Rams have given up an average of 24.38 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 15th ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Alex Collins

Seattle Seahawks @

Pittsburgh Steelers

Last Thursday night the Seahawks turned to Alex Collins at RB and it did not go that well. This week it will probably not be any better as the Seahawks could very well abandon the run as they may be down in the game.
