For the foreseeable future Montgomery is going to be the entire
Chicago offense much like he was last week against the Jets. His
113 total yards in Week 12 comes on the heels of his 121 total
yards in week 11. With Khalil Herbert and Fields likely still
out, Montgomery gets a Packer defense yielding the most rush yards
in the NFL.
Finally healthy with a string of “full” practices,
Swift showed a bit of fire and brimstone against the Bills on
Thanksgiving. His 8 targets were a season high, and he was more
active in the red zone than he’s been in recent weeks. Jacksonville’s
defense is no slouch, but they certainly aren't a shy-away matchup.
With byes a factor in Week 13, Swift’s talent is worth the gamble.
The Commanders have come to embody their coach and rookie running
back. Tough, smash-mouth football has willed this team to a spot
in the playoff hunt. Robinson had his best game as a pro last
week, rushing for his first 100-yard game, and catching his first
touchdown. Injuries and a return to the mean have the Giants fading
down the stretch with a defense surrendering over 5 yards-per-carry.
#revengegame? Not quite. While the Miami passing game can utilize
quick screens, and Tua’s fast release to temper the Niners
pass rush, not much can be done to halt the league’s best
run defense. With a shuffle along the line, lanes to run will
be hard to come by, and the former San Fran duo might have a tough
task making their old team jealous.
Broncos RBs vs BAL
Now one of the worst offenses in the NFL, Denver is coming apart
at the seams. Infighting, injuries, and a coach in over his head
have doomed the fantasy value of every player wearing orange.
Now a backfield full of castoffs and outcasts, none can be trusted
against one of the best rush defenses in the NFL.
Since a 35-carry day in Week 10 against Houston, Barkley has
struggled to display his early season form. A combination of a
heavy workload and an offensive line beset by injury, Barkley
has gone from league MVP candidate to RB2 the last few weeks.
The pressure of carrying the offense and the rock-solid Commander
D-line make Barkley’s rebound this week unlikely.
