Play 'EM
1.Jordan Howard Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears
With Miles Sanders questionable to play this week Howard my get more carries than he usually gets. This is also a revenge game for Howard so he may really want to show the Bears that they made a mistake to trade Howard. The Bears have given up an average of 35.67 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Le'Veon Bell New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
This season has been a struggle for Bell as he has not played like he did when he was in Pittsburgh. This week he should get back on track as he faces a Dolphins defense that gave up 145 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown last week. The Jets should lead the game and run the ball a lot to melt the clock. The Dolphins have given up an average of 20.67 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 12th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
Bench 'EM
1.Kenyan Drake Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers
This week Drake was traded to the Cardinals and he has an extremely tough matchup. The fact that Drake was just traded and has to learn the playbook and plays on a Thursday night I would not start him. The 49ers have given up an average of 15.90 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 6th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
2.Chiefs RBs vs Minnesota Vikings
This season the Chiefs backfield has been a mess to sort thru. Even if you start the right RB they are not all that good when they play. The Vikings have given up an average of 17.40 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 7th ranked defense at defending the RB position.
