RBs to Start in Week 6
Patriots’ Sony Michel (vs. Chiefs): Sony Michel has been phenomenal for the New England Patriots in the last couple of weeks. Michel has totaled 35.2 points in the last two weeks. He should continue his success against a Kansas City Chiefs defense, that allows the second most points to RBs.
Bears’ Jordan Howard (vs. Dolphins): Two weeks ago, it was a devastating day for Jordan Howard owners. Tarik Cohen (his backup) scored 30.4 points, to Howard’s 2.5 in Week 4. I expect him to be used more against a Miami Dolphins defense, that allows the fourth most points to RBs.
Jets’ Isaiah Crowell (vs. Colts): Isaiah Crowell gashed through the Denver Broncos in Week 5. He rushed for 219 yards on 15 carries and a score. I expect him to continue running rampant against an Indianapolis Colts team, who have allowed the 11th most points to RBs.
Other RBs I Like: Falcons’ Tevin Coleman (vs. Buccaneers), Patriots’ James White (vs. Chiefs), Packers’ Aaron Jones (vs. 49ers)
RBs to Sit in Week 6
Dolphins’ Kenyan Drake (vs. Bears): Kenyan Drake had his best week of the season, in Week 5. He scored 24.5 points, with most of his damage coming through the air. This week he’ll square off against the Bears, who allow the least amount of points to RBs this season.
Titans’ Dion Lewis (vs. Ravens): Dion Lewis continue to be the number one guy in the Titans backfield. Lewis has struggled though, scoring just 55.7 points through five weeks. It doesn’t get any easier, as he faces a Ravens defense, who allow the second least amount of points to opposing RBs this year.
