Start: Tarik Cohen, Chicago Bears

vs. New England Patriots

The Chicago Bears offensive attack has been on a role the past few weeks. They are starting to get all their weapons involved in the action– especially Tarik Cohn. The shifty running back has provided the Bears with a handful of splash plays.

His value in fantasy leagues is much higher in PPR formats. This is because the Bears don’t use him as a traditional running back. Cohen spends a lot of his time running routes in the passing game.

This week Chicago faces a New England Patriots defense that lacks quickness at the linebacker spot. Cohen should plenty of favorable matchups working as a receiver out of the backfield.

Sit: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints

@ Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens defense has been one of the bigger surprises of the year. They were expected to be a solid unit, but they are playing at an elite level. This group is allowing a league low 270 total yards of offense per game.

Mark Ingram enters this week as a well-rested option for the New Orleans Saints. However, he still needs to share the workload with Alvin Kamara. The Saints have also been forced to lean on the passing game more this year thanks to their defense surrendering a high number of points.
