Play ‘EM
Todd Gurley
Atlanta Falcons @
Carolina Panthers
So far this season all Todd Gurley does is score touchdowns even when he is not trying to score. That streak should continue as he faces a poor Panthers defense that has really struggled versus opposing RBs. The Panthers have given up an average of 107 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 5 of 6 games this season. The Panthers have given up 31.89 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Melvin Gordon
Denver Broncos vs
Los Angeles Chargers
This week Broncos RB Melvin Gordon should see an increase in opportunities in the rush game. The reason is Philip Lindsay left last weeks game with a concussion which puts his playing status in question this week. The Chargers has given up an average of 85 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. The Chargers have given up a top 20 RB finish in 4 of 6 games this season. The Chargers have given up an average of 24.23 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 19th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench ‘EM
David Montgomery
Chicago Bears vs
New Orleans Saints
Even though David Montgomery has had all of the touches in the Bears backfield since Tarik Cohen was lost for the season he has underperformed. Montgomery has not rushed for more than 65 rushing yards in 5 straight games. The Saints have given up 76.5 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have not given up a top 10 RB finish so far this season. The Saints have not given up a 100 yard rusher in 49 straight games. The Saints have given up an average of 20.77 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 8th ranked defense and defending the RB position.
Seahawks RBs vs
San Francisco 49ers
This week it is going to be tough to play anyone in the Seahawks backfield as they have been hit with the injury bug. Carlos Hyde is expected to be the starter with Chris Carson out but Hyde is battling an injury as well. Because of the injuries at RB position the Seahawks may look at a committee approach this week. The 49ers have given up an average of 68 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of 7 games this season. The 49ers have given up an average of 16.64 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 2nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
