Play ‘Em Bench ‘Em RBs For Week 8

Play ‘EM


Joe Mixon

Cincinnati Bengals @

New York Jets

With how well the Bengals offense is playing it is a good thing for the run game of the Bengals. The Bengals should run the ball a lot as they should get up on the Jets on Sunday. The Jets have given up an average of 113 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 4 of the 6 games that they have played this season. The Jets have given up 38.37 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.



Damien Harris

New England Patriots @

Los Angeles Chargers

After a slow start to the season Patriots RB Damien Harris has been on a hot streak. The Patriots should continue to give Harris the ball to keep the high powered Chargers offense off the field. Harris has scored 17-plus points in each of his last two games. The Chargers have given up an average of 132 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 2 of the 6 games that they have played this season. The Chargers have given up an average of 28.42 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Bench ‘EM


Mike Davis

Atlanta Falcons vs

Carolina Panthers

After starting the season as the Falcons starting RB Mike Davis is starting to lost his hold on the job. On Sunday Cordarrelle Patterson had a 34% touch share compared to Davis at 8.5% touch share. The Panthers have given up an average of 88 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 7 games that they have played this season. The Panthers have given up an average of 15.41 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Myles Gaskin

Miami Dolphins @

Buffalo Bills

The past few weeks Myles Gaskin has put together some strong performances but that should stop this week. The reason is he is facing the Bills defense who in Week 2 shut down the Dolphins offense. The Bills have given up just four rushing touchdowns this season. The Bills have given up an average of 65 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 1 of the 6 games that they have played this season. The Bills have given up an average of 16.95 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 2nd ranked defense at defending the RB position.
