Running Backs

Start

Samaje Perine, Washington Redskins vs. Los Angeles Chargers – Perine was a player who I was all about last week and he didn’t do all that great (9.9 PPR points). Yet, that was mostly due to game-flow and he briefly left the game to be evaluated for a concussion. I think he bounces back this week in a favorable matchup.

Alfred Morris, Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants – The Cowboys finally wised up last week and decided to give Morris a workload similar to ones they have given to Ezekiel Elliott. He responded with 127 yards and 1 touchdown on 27 carries. The Giants have been getting slaughtered by the run since Week 9 and this makes Morris a RB1/2 for Week 14.

Sit

DeMarco Murray, Tennessee Titans vs. Arizona Cardinals – Over the last five games, Murray has scored 9.9 PPR points or fewer in three of them. In the two games he scored more than 9.9 PPR points, he was able to find the end zone. Arizona hasn’t allowed a running back to score a rushing touchdown in four out of the last five games so Murray is merely a touchdown-dependent RB3 for me this week.
