Commercial

1. Jahmyr Gibbs (vs. GB) – 139.5 proj. whole yards

Gibbs is the RB1 in half PPR factors per sport (28.0) on RB1 utilization (24.6 anticipated half PPR). He’s on tempo for a top-10 RB end all time.

Inexperienced Bay sits second in half PPR factors allowed to RBs, giving up 18.1 factors per sport on the bottom (second) and surrendering a monster end to fellow elite RB1 Bijan Robinson (RB2) in Week 3. Detroit carries an implied whole of 27.75 factors (first) as 3-point house favorites. The Lions will even be getting again C Cade Mays for this one.

2. Christian McCaffrey (at ATL) – 119.5 proj. whole yards

McCaffrey is the RB5 in half PPR factors per sport on RB7 utilization over his final 4 video games, and there is a likelihood final week’s season-high 26.1 anticipated half PPR factors will proceed with Mike Evans (Achilles) unlikely to play. One other 10 targets wouldn’t be shocking given the state of their WR room in Week 7. That is the very best his projection has seemed all yr heading into every week.

Commercial

Atlanta ranks thirteenth in half PPR factors allowed to RBs and sits fifth in receiving factors allowed to the place, having surrendered top-10 finishes to Alvin Kamara (RB10), Derrick Henry (RB5) and D’Andre Swift (RB5) over its final three video games. The 49ers maintain a 25.25-point implied whole (seventh) as highway favorites.

3. Bijan Robinson (vs. SF) – 119.5 proj. whole yards

Robinson checks in because the RB3 in half PPR factors per sport on RB5 utilization over his final 4 outings, largely with Michael Penix Jr. as his starter. Robinson was phased out of Week 6 however that’s the outlier end result for him. If there’s something to trace, it is that Bijan’s goal share is down with Penix versus with different QBs.

San Francisco ranks 14th in general half PPR factors allowed to backfields, however they’ve surrendered essentially the most receiving fantasy factors to the place (first) whereas permitting prime finishes to Jeremiyah Love (RB7), RJ Harvey (RB20) and most not too long ago to Rachaad White (RB11). Atlanta sits with a 23.35-point group whole as 3-point house canine.

Commercial

4. Derrick Henry (vs. CIN) – 89.5 proj. whole yards

Henry comes off a season-low 4.5 half PPR factors towards Cleveland, however his workload basis stays intact. Throughout his final 4 video games, he’s the RB10 on RB4 utilization (18.4 anticipated half PPR factors per sport), main all RBs with 22.5 carries per sport. Henry ought to have extra scoring probabilities and higher sport scripts shifting ahead, particularly if Lamar Jackson can return in Week 7’s potential shootout.

The Bengals rank twenty fifth in half PPR factors allowed per sport to opposing RBs (16.6) with DT Dexter Lawrence making a big affect. They’re nonetheless weak at LB and elsewhere within the secondary, so this isn’t a matchup to keep away from in any respect. Baltimore heads into Sunday as 2.5-point house favorites with a 27.0-point implied whole (second). We’ll see if new C Cam Jurgens is able to play as nicely.

5. Kenneth Walker III (at SEA) – 119.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Walker is the RB2 in half PPR factors per sport on RB2 utilization, averaging 133.0 dashing yards (RB1) and 21.2 carries (RB2). Particularly if Rashee Rice (hamstring) cannot swimsuit up, it is onerous for the Chiefs to not give him 15+ carries with the potential for 5+ targets relying on the sport script.

The matchup is among the worst within the league, spreadsheets apart. The Seahawks have two famous person DTs, a secondary that tackles and are nicely coached schematically. If there is a spot to assault them, they’ve allowed the fourth-most receiving fantasy factors to RBs this yr. A means lower-than-normal 20.0-point group whole (twenty second) is the signal to not anticipate this uncommon fantasy output to proceed for this week solely. K9’s extra of a mid-range RB1 than a competitor to Jahmyr Gibbs this week.

6. Kyren Williams (at LV) – 89.5 proj. whole yards

Williams had a season-low 8.2 half PPR factors (RB24) in final week’s stunning loss to the Cardinals, however a few of that has been resulting from an elevated Blake Corum position. They rotated drives early earlier than Kyren was featured on the finish of the sport in catch-up mode. Williams is the RB7 in half PPR factors per sport on RB3 utilization throughout his final 4 contests, with the offense struggling extra within the explosive move sport than anything. He is anticipated to be much more concerned within the quick-pass sport and within the crimson zone with Davante Adams (hamstring) out months. I would be shocked if Williams did not have 5+ targets on prime of his ordinary 12-15 carries per sport as a mid-range RB1.

Commercial

The Raiders rank eighth in half PPR factors allowed to RBs, together with 15.7 dashing factors allowed per sport (sixth) after surrendering massive days to Kenneth Walker III (RB2), Rhamondre Stevenson (RB10) and James Cook dinner III (RB3). Los Angeles tasks for 26 factors (fifth) as 4.5-point highway favorites.

7. D’Andre Swift (vs. NE) – 79.5 proj. whole yards

Swift is the RB5 on RB5 utilization in his two video games with out Monangai, who has already been dominated out of TNF. Roschon Johnson remains to be rotating in a lot, however it’s nonetheless extra Swift now than then. He broke by means of for 21.0 half PPR factors and two dashing touchdowns in Week 6, setting a season excessive with 20.0 anticipated half PPR factors.

The matchup is a tough one. New England is 18th towards fantasy RBs (18.4 HPPR per sport), however it has stars at DT and ought to be again to full well being within the secondary once more. That is additionally a short-week sport, and Ben Johnson has been protecting of his RB workloads as a coach. Chicago performs at house as 3-point house favorites with an implied whole of 26.75 factors (third), although. That is a excessive sufficient group whole to deal with Swift as a mid-range RB1.

Commercial

8. Javonte Williams (at PHI) – 84.5 proj. whole yards

Williams scored a 1-yard landing in Week 6, his sixth dashing rating over his final 4 video games. Throughout that 4-game span, he’s the RB8 on RB9 utilization, averaging 17.8 half PPR factors on 16.3 anticipated half PPR factors. That features powerful matchups with the Ravens, Texans, Bucs and rising Packers defenses. Williams is just too massive to fail proper now.

Philadelphia ranks seventeenth in general half PPR factors allowed to opposing backfields (18.6 per sport). It has been extra beatable towards fantasy factors to RBs by means of the air (twenty eighth) versus on the bottom (ninth), although that passing leak will likely be closed up by Zack Baun being again within the lineup. Chuba Hubbard completed because the RB7 final week, whereas Bhayshul Tuten (96 whole yards), Kyren Williams (147) and D’Andre Swift (88) have been stable begins towards it in current video games. Dallas enters as 4.5-point highway favorites with an implied group whole of 24.5 factors (tenth).

9. Chuba Hubbard (vs. TB) – 89.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Hubbard comes off a formidable Week 6 the place he set season highs with 28 carries and 20.4 anticipated factors, handing over 120 dashing yards and one landing towards a tricky Eagles protection. He is now the RB5 on RB13 utilization this season, showcasing a few of the finest effectivity on the place. That is precisely what occurred in 2024 when he was a low-key baller RB1. When adjusting for ADP, Hubbard is the Fantasy Soccer MVP to date. I do not anticipate issues to alter a lot even when (if) Jonathon Brooks returns.

The Bucs are a brutal matchup as soon as once more. They’re third-best towards fantasy RBs on simply 75.5 dashing yards per sport this yr (second-best). They’re a bit weaker at LB than up entrance, however that is largely been on getting them to chunk on play motion quite than on RBs. Carolina enters this house matchup as 3.5-point house favorites with an implied group whole of 24.0 factors (eleventh). Even when we dock Hubbard for effectivity, there’s a lot work and a high-enough group whole to view him as a low-end RB1.

10. Woody Marks (vs. NYG)

Marks has elevated his position with out David Montgomery, rating because the RB11 and RB19 in anticipated half PPR factors within the final two video games. Each have resulted in low-end RB2 finishes behind this worrisome OL. The Texans additionally seem able to move the ball greater than ordinary, although Marks figures to combine in there (RB29 in receptions per sport) every now and then. Final week, Marks misplaced extra snaps to Jahwar Jordan, who confirmed some actual explosiveness as a receiver and on cutbacks on zone runs. He is a smaller again, so Marks stays the favourite for goal-line scores whereas Monty is sidelined. Marks can have extra room to run when not dealing with the Titans’ and Jaguars’ DLs.

The Giants are available rating twelfth in half PPR factors allowed to RBs at 20.0 factors per sport, although they sit seventh in factors allowed to RBs by means of the air on the Matchups Map in comparison with sixteenth towards the run. New York has yielded sturdy receiving strains not too long ago, with Alvin Kamara posting an RB9 end in Week 6 on 35 receiving yards and a rating. Houston is projected for 26.25 factors (seventh) as 10.0-point house favorites.

Commercial

11. Braelon Allen (vs. MIA) – 14.5 proj. whole yards

Allen is the RB20 on RB22 utilization over the previous three weeks because the Jets’ bellcow, regardless of not dealing with a single inside-the-5-yard-line contact throughout that stretch. The Jets had one of many lowest snap video games of NFL historical past, too. In regular video games, Allen has been the RB6 and RB19 on RB13 and RB24 utilization. These finishes are nearer to his ground, assuming Breece Corridor (quad) misses one final sport right here.

Sport script ought to lastly be on his facet this week with the Dolphins on the schedule. They’ve allowed the fourth-most fantasy factors to RBs this yr. Aaron Jones Sr. had 128 whole yards in Week 4, whereas Kenneth Walker III and Christian McCaffrey have been top-4 finishers earlier than that. The Jets enter as 4.5-point house favorites with an implied whole of 21.5 factors (18th). Allen is a low-end fantasy RB1.

12. Jonathan Taylor (at MIN) – 89.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

The Colts are going by means of it, however Taylor is pretty insulated. He is cleared 17.1 anticipated half PPR factors in all video games, minus his date with the good Texans protection. He is the RB11 on RB6 utilization this month with out Alec Pierce threatening defenses or shifting the chains himself, and the Colts may very well be sellers on the deadline after firing their GM. I do not love the Daniel Jones decision-making, and I actually do not love his arm power and mobility versus his prime. The Colts are simply one of many 10 worst offenses within the NFL shifting ahead. Taylor must be dropped to the mid-range RB1 tier, quite than competing for the highest spots.

This week brings a matchup towards a Minnesota protection that ranks thirty second in half PPR factors allowed to working backs at simply 12.7 per sport. It is essentially the most dominant protection within the league, they usually’re coming off a bye week. Minnesota is third-best towards RB runs and second-best towards RB receiving, so there hasn’t been anyplace to cover. Indianapolis visits as 6-point highway underdogs with an implied whole of 17.75 factors (twenty sixth). That would be the lowest group whole of the yr for it, probably.

13. Jaylen Warren (at NO) – 94.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Warren performed 75% of the snaps with Rico Dowdle getting back from turf toe. Dowdle had a number of downhill runs on movie, however Warren is the higher match for this pass-heavy offense. His 12.2 anticipated half PPR factors final week (RB17) have been barely down from the Dowdle-less video games, however it’s nearly as good because it may’ve gone with Dowdle returning. Warren is just too dynamic within the receiving sport (RB9 receptions per sport) to drop him out of the fantasy RB2 vary, particularly when he dealt with the lone goal-line alternative:

New Orleans is the friendliest matchup on the board, rating first in half PPR factors allowed to opposing backfields at 28.1 per sport. It sits first towards the run with 22.4 factors allowed per sport, having conceded top-8 finishes to Bijan Robinson (RB5), Brian Robinson (RB8), Aaron Jones Sr. (RB7) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB8) over its final three outings. Pittsburgh heads on the highway as 3.5-point highway favorites with an implied group whole of 24.0 factors (thirteenth). We’ll see how a lot the Saints wish to deal with this time round.

14. Ashton Jeanty (vs. LAR) – 79.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Jeanty is the RB17 on RB3 utilization since Week 2, eradicating his spike week towards the ACC Dolphins. He is been the worst participant per my mannequin throughout this 5-game stretch. To me, Jeanty simply would not look good. The ankle and foot damage may clarify a few of his lack of burst, however this was the problem throughout his rookie season, too. These well being considerations do ***not*** clarify his poor imaginative and prescient and drops within the move sport.

The Raiders are additionally taking him off the sector way more usually not too long ago; 57% snaps final week with 53% the week prior. He began out between 67% and 84% snaps in September. Dylan Laube is enjoying some passing downs, whereas Mike Washington Jr. is getting “win the new hand” probabilities. Jeanty performed 57% of snaps in Week 6.

My sense is Klint Kubiak, who did not draft him, would not like him as a lot as fantasy Twitter does. Bear in mind, he pounded the desk for Washington within the draft, per sources.

Commercial

The Rams protection presents a impartial general matchup, rating twenty first in half PPR factors allowed to working backs (17.3 per sport). Los Angeles is tighter towards the run (rating twenty fourth in dashing factors allowed) than towards the move, the place it sits thirteenth in receiving factors allowed to opposing backs. That works in the direction of the Jeanty PPR rip-off. The Rams have allowed occasional massive fantasy outputs, giving up an RB4 efficiency to James Cook dinner III in Week 5 earlier than Bam Knight (98 whole yards) obtained after it final week. The Raiders are listed as 4.5-point house underdogs with an implied whole of 21.5 factors (seventeenth).

15. Chase Brown (at BAL) – 79.5 proj. whole yards

Brown has struggled to make a distinction for the Bengals, in the end resulting in a Samaje Perine coup in Week 5 earlier than the bye. That short-term benching was pushed by a fumble, however cooler heads seemingly prevail shifting ahead. Brown has been the RB19 on RB12 utilization this season, buoyed by 4.8 receptions per sport (RB3) on this shotgun-based Bengals offense. In some unspecified time in the future, Brown will discover the top zone extra usually, however his lack of explosives on the bottom has harm him on the margins.

The Ravens rank twenty sixth towards fantasy RBs on the yr, surrendering simply 16.5 half PPR factors per sport. They’ve allowed the fewest factors allowed to RBs as receivers this season with Kyle Hamilton and robust LBs rooming over the center. They’ve shut down the Browns, Bijan Robinson (RB18) and Tony Pollard (50 whole yards) in current video games. A 24.5-point group whole (ninth) is what retains Brown alive as an upside RB2 in all matchups.

Commercial

16. Josh Jacobs (at DET) – 54.5 proj. whole yards

Jacobs will return because the starter after a 6-game absence on the Exempt Record, however he ought to inherit the same position to 2025 after the RB room fluctuated with out him to begin the yr. MarShawn Lloyd was by no means trusted in move safety and can seemingly be a lower-volume change-of-pace possibility, with Pierre Robust Jr. being accessible in pure dropback conditions. Jacobs would do nicely to match 2025’s RB12 on RB9 utilization common with the Packers’ OL in a tricky spot and his personal break day seemingly working towards him, however we’re determined for fantasy RB2 choices throughout the bye weeks and the Packers’ DEF and deep passing video games are in a great spot.

The Packers open this divisional highway check towards a Detroit protection that ranks twenty second in half PPR factors allowed to opposing working backs at 16.8 per sport. The Lions have been powerful towards pass-catching backs, rating thirtieth in receiving factors allowed to the place, however they sit fifteenth towards RB dashing. That is the place Jacobs will do most of his injury. Detroit has seen explosive dashing outputs, with James Cook dinner III ending because the RB4 and Chuba Hubbard touchdown because the RB7. Inexperienced Bay enters as 3-point highway underdogs with an implied group whole of 25.25 factors (seventh).

17. Dameon Pierce (vs. DAL)

Commercial

Pierce was the RB15 on RB13 utilization final week, enjoying 61 of 64 snaps. We’ll see if Saquon Barkley (hamstring) returns.

The Cowboys provide a smooth defensive setup, rating ninth in half PPR factors allowed per sport to RBs (21.4). They’ve allowed essentially the most dashing yards per sport when together with all runs, too. Bucky Irving (RB3 end) had probably the greatest runs of his profession towards them two Thursdays in the past. The Eagles carry a 20.0-point implied whole (twenty third) as 4.5-point house underdogs.

18. Bucky Irving (at CAR) – 69.5 proj. whole yards

I am not good at projecting the Bucky rollercoaster, as there isn’t any rhythm to his success or enjoying time from week to week. He was shut out towards the Steelers final week, turning 19 carries into 46 scoreless yards because the RB33 on RB15 utilization. Because the season started, he is the RB16 on RB17 utilization, which might be the very best pattern to go off. The Buccaneers’ QB play has been amongst the worst within the NFL so far, however the merely common OL has been the larger disappointment. Irving has been dodging defenders within the backfield for a lot of this season and hasn’t been given many constructive sport scripts to work with. Irving’s goal-line position all the time feels safer when Sean Tucker (questionable) misses.

The Panthers are a straightforward protection to run on in keeping with the spreadsheets (fifth-most half PPR factors per sport to RBs), however since their Week 1 gashing by the Bears, they have been fairly lights-out not too long ago. They held Jahmyr Gibbs to an RB14 end and Bijan Robinson to an RB22 end since then, and their entrance seven is considerably higher than their backup secondary. The Bucs solely undertaking for 20.5 factors (twentieth) as 3.5-point highway underdogs. Irving is a extra forgettable RB2.

Commercial

19. Jeremiyah Love (vs. DEN)

We’ll see if Love (ankle) can return after every week off. His movie in Week 5 earlier than the off day appeared tremendous to me, with some spectacular leaping feats, so I would guess he’ll. Final week with out him, Tyler Allgeier was merely outplayed by Bam Knight. That is promising for Love’s long-term RB2 potential. He is the RB22 on RB23 utilization this season in 5 “wholesome” video games.

The Broncos rank tenth in half PPR factors allowed to working backs, yielding 21.3 factors per sport. They have been getting gashed on the bottom specifically, permitting the fifth-most factors on carries, as a result of their LBs have struggled to deal with and their DT depth is worse with out John Franklin-Myers. They’ll get EDGE Jonathon Cooper again from suspension this week, however that does not repair the opposite points. Arizona enters the matchup with an implied whole of 19.5 factors (twenty fourth) as 4.5-point house underdogs.

Commercial

20. Ollie Gordon II (at NYJ) – 59.5 proj. whole yards

Gordon has emerged as Miami’s main early-down possibility, rating because the RB13 on RB20 utilization over his final three video games earlier than the bye. He is been the more practical rusher versus Jaylin Wright, and Gordon deserves the hot-hand therapy for the brief time period. This offense wants Malik Willis to play higher, however even with underwhelming video games, Gordon has been the RB15, RB36 and RB5 general in utilization. He is logged 5 carries contained in the 5-yard line with three dashing TDs in that stretch as the largest again within the backfield. Simply do not get this twisted for De’Von Achane. Gordon is averaging 1.3 receptions per sport.

The Jets current a beatable entrance, rating eleventh in half PPR factors allowed to opposing working backs at 20.0 factors per sport. New York has proven vulnerability to ground-heavy scripts, permitting Kyle Monangai to complete because the RB4 on 146 dashing yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 after Jahmyr Gibbs posted an RB1 end towards them in Week 3. The Patriots additionally let RB3 Corey Kiner get sizzling for 57 yards in closeout mode final week. Miami travels as 4.5-point highway underdogs with an implied group whole of 17 factors (twenty seventh). They will try to set the tone with some Gordon runs, I am certain.

21. J.Okay. Dobbins (at ARI) – 74.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Dobbins has been the RB16 in back-to-back weeks on RB14 and RB16 utilization within the two video games with Sean Payton calling performs once more, scoring on a run contained in the 5-yard line in every contest. He wasn’t a top-36 RB finisher at any level with OC Davis Webb calling performs. Dobbins is again to projecting for 15ish carries relying on the sport script and matchup as an RB3/FLEX possibility. RJ Harvey will nonetheless steal lots of the receiving work, however Dobbins’ three receptions in Week 6 have been an indication of life for him when the remainder of the offense wasn’t working, with Bo Nix refusing to throw the ball past his security blanket.

The Cardinals protection is sixteenth in half PPR factors conceded to working backs at 19.1 per sport. Arizona ranks twelfth in dashing factors allowed to the place, having surrendered prime finishes like Jamhyr Gibbs (RB1) in Week 5 and Christian McCaffrey (RB5) in Week 3. Each Rams’ RBs had stable outings final week, too. Denver is listed as 4.5-point highway favorites with an implied group whole of 24.0 factors (twelfth). I’ll say the Cardinals’ entrance seven is pretty underrated, whereas their secondary has been essentially the most obtrusive downside on tape.

22. Rhamondre Stevenson (at CHI) – 69.5 proj. whole yards

Commercial

Stevenson’s Week 6 position was as dangerous as it has been this season. His 8.2 anticipated half PPR factors (RB32) have been notably worse than they have been with out Treveyon Henderson, who fumbled whereas working up the intestine. The issue was Corey Kiner dealt with a lot of the fourth-quarter carries because the hard-running nearer. Coach Mike Vrabel was impressed:

Stevenson is the RB26 on RB33 in 5 video games with Henderson energetic, and that’s largely with out Kiner stealing a lot work. He cannot afford that shifting ahead.

The Bears current a tricky matchup, rating twenty eighth in half PPR factors allowed to opposing backfields at 15.4 factors per sport, having held starters Saquon Barkley, Braelon Allen and Bijan Robinson to scoreless finishes outdoors the top-24 every. Solely MarShawn Lloyd’s pair of red-zone scores have stood out towards the Bears this month. New England visits Chicago with a 23.75-point group whole (fifteenth) as 3-point highway underdogs. The Bears welcomed again explosive SCB Kyler Gordon final week, however will not have EDGE Montez Sweat once more.

Commercial

23. Kendre Miller (vs. PIT) – 49.5 proj. whole yards

With Travis Etienne (hamstring) on IR for an additional week, the Saints backfield is up for grabs. They’ll rotate all three backs in outlined roles, however Miller pulled forward because the clear-cut early-down again in Week 6. He dealt with 16.3 anticipated half PPR factors (RB9) on 22 touches.

He was tackled on the 1-yard line and was on the sector for a number of different goal-line performs that simply occurred to go to different gamers. Miller was simply the very best participant on tape in Week 5, so there’s extra landing fairness for Miller than his field rating would counsel. Count on Alvin Kamara to remain in a diminished early-down position, whereas move protector CJ Donaldson places a lid on everybody else’s ceiling. You are able to do worse within the FLEX throughout bye weeks.

Commercial

The matchup is one to worry. The Steelers enter rating twentieth in half PPR factors allowed to RBs at 18.1 per sport. They held Bucky Irving to an RB33 end final week and Jonathan Taylor to an RB25 end simply earlier than that. It is a fairly apparent OL versus DL mismatch, and the Saints’ 20.5-point group whole as 3.5-point house underdogs displays that.

24. Aaron Jones Sr. (vs. IND)

We’ll verify that Jordan Mason is getting back from IR this week in a while. The expectation is sure. Again in Week 1 with each wholesome, Jones began the sport and ended up because the RB24 on RB30 utilization. He break up time pretty evenly, together with on the purpose line the place each of them had a possibility. Jones performed nicely whereas Mason was injured, so he deserves the extra optimistic case within the brief run. The Vikings will likely be cautious with Jones’ workload after carrying the offense, nevertheless and Mason ought to be brisker as he was solely coping with a finger damage.

The Colts matchup is one to focus on. They’ve allowed the sixth-most fantasy factors to RBs this season and are firing individuals upstairs. The Vikings have a 24.0-point group whole as landing favorites. That is ok for FLEX worth.

25. Tony Pollard (vs. CLE) – 79.5 proj. whole yards

Pollard has gone beneath his anticipated factors in 9 straight video games courting again to final yr. Not all of that is his fault, however Pollard is definitely previous his athletic prime as a slighter participant in his age-29 season. All year long, Pollard is the RB35 on RB21 utilization. Final week’s win did not change issues drastically both, when he was the RB28 on RB23 utilization on 19 carries and 0 receptions. His 1.3 receptions per sport and lack of explosives make him a TD-or-bust RB3 on a company that finds somebody to fireside each week. This Wednesday, that was a veteran DT who went to his automobile to get a gun after arguing with a teammate.

On prime of that, Cleveland has been one of many league’s hardest matchups for RBs, rating thirty first in half PPR factors allowed at simply 14.2 factors per sport. Derrick Henry was held to an RB40 end towards them final week, although Braelon Allen, Jaylen Warren and Chuba Hubbard had a 100-total-yard streak earlier than that. Cleveland has lots of power on protection however may very well be with out some rotation DTs as soon as once more. Tennessee heads into this house matchup as 1.5-point house underdogs with an implied group whole of 18.5 factors (twenty fifth).

26. Roschon Johnson (vs. NE)

Johnson has been the RB21 and RB19 in utilization during the last two video games whereas stepping in for Kyle Monangai. This will likely be a brief relaxation for the Bears’ backs, so it would be a shock if Johnson did not rotate in with D’Andre Swift. The Patriots have allowed the 18th-most fantasy factors to RBs this season.

27. Blake Corum (at LV) – 49.5 proj. whole yards

Corum all the time appears to be like fairly, fairly good on tape. He continues to offer complementary assist behind Kyren Williams, rating because the RB36 in half PPR factors per sport on RB48 utilization over his final 4 appearances. His position would not fluctuate an excessive amount of however is at its finest when the Rams are accountable for video games, as Williams will gobble up catch-up mode receptions when clearly trailing. Corum is solely an RB3 dart throw on 7.8 carries per sport when the Rams’ group whole is excessive sufficient throughout the bye weeks. Even with RB15 and RB14 finishes in most up-to-date video games, it is best to maintain the lengthy view right here. He was the RB33 and RB30 in anticipated half PPR factors in these video games. He simply ran actually sizzling.

The Raiders have been pleasant to opposing backfields, rating seventh in half PPR factors allowed to RBs at 21.7 factors per sport. Las Vegas has been notably susceptible on the bottom, rating sixth in dashing factors allowed to RBs. Opposing starters have posted huge fantasy outings towards them recently: James Cook dinner III (RB3), Rhamondre Stevenson (RB10) and Kenneth Walker III (RB2). The Rams, who will not have crimson zone extraordinaire Davante Adams for 10ish weeks, are 4.5-point highway favorites with an implied whole of 26 factors (fifth).

28. Quinshon Judkins (at TEN)

Judkins (ankle) is anticipated to play and will likely be welcoming again pass-catching RB2 Dylan Sampson. Extra on this later.

29. Jordan Mason (vs. IND)

30. RJ Harvey (at ARI) – 49.5 proj. whole yards

31. Rico Dowdle (at NO) – 49.5 proj. whole yards

32. Tyler Allgeier (vs. DEN)

33. Cam Skattebo (at HOU) – 39.5 proj. whole yards

Najee Harris was launched, so Skattebo’s fumble-based benching in Week 6 may flip round this week. Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary aren’t usually considered as early-down bell cows, however we’ll find out about their roles arising. For reference, the Giants’ RB room in whole has averaged 19.5 anticipated half PPR factors. Till confirmed in any other case, that will likely be break up roughly 3 ways. If Skattebo can get half of it, then he is an RB3/FLEX.

On prime of the position uncertainty, the Giants have a lowly group whole whereas enjoying in Houston, who has its LBs again within the lineup and has DeMeco Ryans again as its play caller. Houston is third-best in rush yards allowed per sport (83). J.J. McCarthy will begin in a brand new offense for the primary time within the worst of situations. New York has a 16.25-point group whole, the worst of the week. I completely get that.

34. Tyrone Tracy (at HOU) – 39.5 proj. whole yards

35. Brian Robinson (vs. SF) – 24.5 proj. whole yards

36. Alvin Kamara (vs. PIT) – 39.5 proj. whole yards

37. Emanuel Wilson (vs. KC)

We’ll see if Zach Charbonnet (knee) truly returns this week. Primarily because the starter, Wilson has been the RB22 on RB26 utilization over his final 4 video games, however fumbles, iffy sport script and a scarcity of lengthy pace have labored towards him in back-to-back outings. Charbonnet’s return would harm Wilson’s goal-line position. Of observe, George Holani dealt with a late-game goal-line alternative final week. These are the issues Wilson cannot afford. His fantasy RB2 worth is probably going within the rearview.

The Chiefs rank twenty seventh in half PPR factors allowed to RBs, yielding simply 16.2 factors per sport. They’re stingy on the bottom, sitting twenty eighth in dashing factors allowed to RBs on simply 89 dashing YPG (twenty seventh). The Chargers have been pathetic final week popping out of the bye, and the Chiefs’ younger defensive linemen have stood out all yr. Seattle heads in as 2.5-point house favorites with a 22.5-point group whole (sixteenth).

46. TreVeyon Henderson (at CHI) – 39.5 proj. whole yards

Henderson fumbled on his seventh contact, and he was phased out with bruisers Rhamondre Stevenson and out of the blue Corey Kiner milking the clock. Henderson has cleared 6.0 half PPR factors in simply 2 of 10 current video games. Let me know if you understand when he’ll randomly have a 40-yard TD. In any other case, it is not occurring for Hendo. He is the RB42 on RB48 utilization this yr.
