Play ‘EM
Ronald Jones
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @
Las Vegas Raiders
It looks like Bucs RB Ronald Jones may have taken control of the backfield down in Tampa. Bucs RB Leonard Fournette has missed the last game and was active but did not play the game before which is good for Jones going forward. If Jones continues to play extremely well he could show the coaching staff to trust him as the starting tailback.The Raiders have given up 33.30 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
David Johnson
Houston Texans vs
Green Bay Packers
Last week if you watched the Packers play last week you know that they struggled as the allowed Bucs RB Ronald Jones to score two touchdowns. This week if the Texans want to pull an upset versus the Packers they should look to run the ball to keep the ball away from QB Aaron Rodgers. The Packers have given up an average of 32.75 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench ‘EM
Mike Davis
Carolina Panthers @
New Orleans Saints
Since RB Christian McCaffrey went down with an ankle injury Mike Davis has played phenomenal but that great play may stop this week. The reason is if there is one strength on the Saints defense it is their rush defense. The Saints have not given up a 100 yard rusher in 48 straight games. The Saints have given up an average of 23.04 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 14th ranked defense and defending the RB position.
Rams RBs vs
Chicago Bears
This season the Rams backfield has been really tough to get a read on which back is going to have a big game week to week. This week it will not get any easier as the Rams face a Bears defense that held Panthers RB Mike Davis to his lowest rushing total of the season. The Bears have given up an average of 21.40 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 9th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
