Play 'EM
1.Melvin Gordon Los Angles Chargers @ Chicago Bears
Since Gordon ended his holdout he has struggled to really get into any type of rhythm. This week that may change as he takes on of Bears defense that id struggling to stop anyone in the run game as last week they allowed Latavius Murray to score 2 rushing touchdowns. The Bears have given up an average of 37.97 points per game to opposing RB this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.David Montgomery Chicago Bears vs Los Angles Chargers
So far Montgomery has had a tough rookie season but this week may be the week he has his best game as a pro. This week Bears head coach Matt Nagy has come out and said that the Bears need to run the ball more which is good for Montgomery. The Chargers have given up an average of 27.15 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 21st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.David Johnson Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints
Johnsons ankle injury must be worst than the Cardinals are letting one as last week he played only 3 offensive snaps in the game. This week even if he plays it is not a good matchup as the Saints defense has not allowed a 100 yard rusher in 29 straight games. The Saints have given up an average of 17.55 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 5th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Joe Mixon Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angles Rams (London)
This season with the Bengals getting down in almost every game this season it has hurt Mixon as they have had to abandon the run game. Last week Mixon was so bad that he averaged less than a yard per rush attempt. The Rams have given up an average of 22.33 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 12th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
