C-Patt has only seen 18 carries in the two games since his return,
but he should be the offensive focus against a Chicago defense
getting gashed on the ground. After trading away two of their
defensive stalwarts, the Bears are giving up 142 rushing yards
a game, 5th worst in the NFL.
We saw the Commander blueprint for success on Monday night against
the Eagles. Control the line of scrimmage with a bruising running
game, and harass the opposing offense with an endless parade of
defensive lineman. Robinson hasn’t been very efficient this
season, as his 3.3 yards-per-carry average can attest, but he
runs hard and should get most of the goal line opportunities.
He returns much less value in PPR leagues, but should be a strong
play against Houston’s bottom tier run defense.
With full control of the backfield in Week 9, Drake piled up
a 24-93-2 line in a Monday night win. The 24 attempts were the
most by Drake in several years, and the most by a single Baltimore
running back in several years. With Edwards expected back, Drake
won’t hit 24 attempts again, but he still should lead the
backfield in touches against a poor Carolina defense.
A two-touchdown day and a surprisingly competent offense helped
Conner to a solid Week 10. With prime backup Eno Benjamin jettisoned
earlier this week, nothing stands in the way of a monster workload
for Conner here on out. Unfortunately, the Week 11 matchup against
the Niners and the league’s best run defense is ugly. If you can
pivot to a higher floor play do it, but it could be tough going
to rely on Conner this week.
Rams RBS @ NO
With no offensive line, and no Copper Kupp to attract attention,
this Rams offense is going to be tough to watch. LA has tried
a constant rotation of backs to try and jumpstart the run game,
no one has been able to get a stranglehold. Maybe rookie Kyren
Williams is it, but I’m certainly not taking a chance on anyone
as we approach the stretch run of the fantasy regular season.
Talent was never a question with Foreman, it’s always been
health and opportunity. Now that the two have meshed, Foreman
has piled up three 100+ yard games and four touchdowns over the
last four weeks. Despite the hot streak, Foreman faces a Baltimore
defense rounding into form and limiting opposing run games to
only 92 yards-per-game. There’s a very good chance the game
script gets out of hand, making Foreman a risky play.
