LeSean McCoy, vsCar – The time has come. Yes, you top three pickers. To those of you who shose McCoy in the top three of your draft, this is the day you have been waiting for. Granted you would have liked this back in September, but better late than never. Carolina is a shell of its former self. They can’t stop their boss from crying let alone any sort of rushing attack (sorry, too soon?) Over the last five weeks the Panthers have allowed over 25 points to opposing backs.
Justin Forsett, vsTen – He’s not an Arian Foster or a Larry Johnson but he’s a pretty good Justin Forsett. He’s been in this league for a little while now and he has learned how to survive in this league. He knows where and how to pick his spots. He may not go off for 150 yards but he can safely get you 90 and a score. Especially against a defense who is giving up the 8th most FP/G this season.
Eddie Lacy, vsChi – Did I mention this game already? Oh well, it doesn’t matter. It bears repeating. Chicago isn’t the kind of defense who stops running games. I should take that back a little. They haven’t allowed any 100 yard games yet, but they have allowed six touchdowns in eight games. Point is, I like Lacy’s chances in prime time this week.
Marshawn Lynch, vsNYG – The Giants are allowing over five yards a carry to opposing rushers. I thought you should know that.
Running Backs to Die With:
Any Lions Rusher, vsMia – It doesn’t matter to me who is starting. Miami is a beast when it comes to stopping running backs. Currently, they have allowed under four yards a carry to opposing backs and less than 17 fantasy points. I can’t start a Lion running back with any kind of confidence this week.
Lamar Miller, @Det – Just stay away form this game. Both defense have made a pretty good season thus far out of stopping some decent offenses. Neither of these teams has shown to be a stellar offense so I don’t know if you can expect much of anything. I will say there are a lot good math-ups for backs this week due to the byes. The rest are sort of..
Bobby Rainey, vsAtl – I know, I see the match-up also. Atlants is allowing the most amount of points to opposing running backs. If I could insert Tampa Bay Rushing Offense into my lineup I would. If you’re asking me to pick one guy then that is a much harder task. It might be Rainey all day (see what I did there?) Or Charles Sims could break out. Point is, it’s too much up in the air at this point.
