Starts Start of the Week – Antonio Gibson vs Detroit Lions In the event that Gibson cannot go due to his questionable status, McKissic would fall into this spot, but both running backs have the best opportunity to make an impact this weekend against the Lions. Their defense is the worst at defending the runContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 10”

Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 9
Starts Start of the Week – James Conner vs Dallas Cowboys Conner has been surging through the glory of Pittsburgh’s run game once again. He has an insanely enticing matchup this week against the Dallas Cowboys who suck against running backs. They give up about an average of almost 25 points to enemy running backsContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 9”

Starts Start of the Week – Todd Gurley vs Carolina Panthers Gurley had two scores last weekend against the Detroit Lions, and I like him this weekend against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are 30th against the run, and they have given up an average of almost 32 fantasy points to enemy running backs. GurleyContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 8”

Starts Start of the Week – Ronald Jones vs Las Vegas Raiders Jones went on a rampage last weekend against Green Bay with over 29 fantasy points. This weekend should be another big matchup for him as the Raiders are next to last with Green Bay being in last. Jones should have a field dayContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 7”
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 6
Starts Start of the Week – David Montgomery vs Carolina Panthers David Montgomery has had an up and down season this year with Chicago. He should thrive this weekend against the Carolina Panthers. While opposing quarterbacks have trouble in Carolina, running backs succeed. Carolina has given up the most points to running backs this seasonContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 6”

Starts Start of the Week – James Robinson vs Houston Texans Robinson put up his first bad stat line this season, but I imagine he gets back on track with a very easy matchup with the Houston Texans. Their defense has allowed enemy running backs to find the endzone six times and have accumulated theContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 5”

Starts Start of the Week – Kenyan Drake vs Carolina Panthers Drake didn’t do bad last weekend against the Lions, but he underperformed to say the least. I still am rolling with him as the start of the week against Carolina. Pass catch backs excel when facing Carolina giving up the most receptions and haveContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 4”
Leonard Fournette: Fantasy Football’s Human Enigma
Most football fans know the name Leonard Fournette. Former Heisman candidate running back out of LSU who suffered a gruesome injury before being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2017. Since then he has battled with injury and production issues. In 3 years in Jacksonville, he totaled 2,631 yards, 17 touchdowns averaging 4.0 YPC.ContinueContinue reading “Leonard Fournette: Fantasy Football’s Human Enigma”
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 3
Starts Start of the Week – Kenyan Drake vs Detroit Lions If there is one thing that hasn’t changed going into this season is that the Lions suck at defending against the run. That was proven when Aaron Jones completely destroyed them. That puts both quarterback Kyler Murray and running back Kenyan Drake in aContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 3”
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 2
Starts Start of the Week – Jonathan Taylor vs Minnesota Vikings Taylor is in for a huge workload now that starter Marlon Mack is out for the year with a torn ACL. While he’ll likely continue to split work with Nyheim Hines, I like him a lot against the Vikings this weekend who in theContinueContinue reading “Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 2”
