Fantasy Football, Week 6: Best lineup with start/sit advice
By Dylan Broady
Jordan Howard, Chicago Bears
Jordan Howard is a steady, reliable start in a ever-changing flow of the Chicago Bears offense. Coming into the season everyone wanted to know how Matt Nagy would implement Howard and fellow running back teammate Tarik Cohen. Even though Howard is coming off a bad game against the Buccaneers in Week 4, there’s a lot of optimism heading into Week 6 after the Bears took their bye.
The Bears travel to Miami in Week 6 to face the 25th-ranked Dolphins defense. The Bears have put up 341 total yards per game, 121.5 rushing yards, and 27.8 points per game. The Miami defense does allow 109 rushing yards per game.
There’s a cold wind brewing and it’s heading to South Beach. Through four games played Howard has managed 203 total rushing yards and one touchdown on 64 rushing attempts. This is the perfect matchup for him to get back on track and back into our fantasy hearts.
Just to help you ease into this decision. Here’s some more insight on the lackluster Dolphins defense. Through five games played they have given up 382.6 total yards, 273.6 passing yards, 109 rushing yards as stated above, and 23.4 points per game.
Prediction: 100 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns
