Play ‘Em Bench ‘Em RBs For Week 9

Play ‘EM


Mark Ingram

New Orleans Saints vs

Atlanta Falcons

Last week the Saints acquired Mark Ingram in a trade with the Texans. This week Ingram may benefit from the Saints lost of QB Jamies Winston as the Saints may shift to even more of a run based offense. The Falcons have given up an average of 90 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 2 of the 7 games that they have played this season. The Falcons have given up 26.67 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 25th ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Myles Gaskin

Miami Dolphins vs

Houston Texans

This season has been a up and down one for the Dolphins Myles Gaskin. This week it should be an up week for Gaskin though as he faces the Texans who have struggled to stop anyone in the run game. The Texans 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 2 of the 8 games that they have played this season. The Texans have given up an average of 26.18 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 23rd ranked defense at defending the RB position.




Bench ‘EM


Cordarrelle Patterson

Atlanta Falcons @

New Orleans Saints

Cordarrelle Patterson so far has been the waiver wire pickup of the season but he will probably struggle this week. Patterson faces a Saints defense that has shutdown the opposing rushing attack all season. The Saints have given up an average of 57 rushing yards per game to opposing RBs this season. They have given up a top 10 RB finish in 2 of the 7 games that they have played this season. The Saints have given up an average of 18.70 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 4th ranked defense at defending the RB position.



James Robinson

Jacksonville Jaguars vs

Buffalo Bills

This week James Robinson may be coming into the game hobbled as he has an ankle injury. This it also is a bad matchup as he is going against the Bills defense that shutdown the Dolphins rushing attack last Sunday. The Bills have given up an average of 64 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 Bills have given up an average of 16.57 points per game to opposing RBs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the RB position.
