Start:

D’Andre Swift, DET, @ ATL

D’Andre Swift had his coming-out party of sorts for the Detroit Lions this past week and should be expected to do some great work again vs. the Atlanta Falcons. Already seen as the passing down back, Swift now has value as a regular runner and should be seen as an RB2 for this one. Could be a potential shootout.

Antonio Gibson, WAS, vs. DAL

The Washington Redskins lost to the New York Giants which is an ugly look, but Antonio Gibson remains a bright spot for them. In a matchup against Dallas, expect him to have a great day and get a lot of passing work.

Justin Jackson, LAC, vs. JAX

Justin Jackson shockingly took over for Joshua Kelley on Monday Night Football and dominated the touches in doing so. As a solid passing down back, Jackson can be seen as a high FLEX option with RB2 potential in a wonderful matchup against the Jaguars.

Sit: 

Le’Veon Bell, KC, @ DEN

The idea is welcoming, but take a wait-and-see approach with Le’Veon Bell in what is expected to be his first gaming suiting up with the Kansas City Chiefs. The potential is high for Bell, but until we really know for sure how he will be used, he belongs on your bench.

Damien Harris, NE, vs. SF

Damien Harris rumbled for 100 yards in his first career start but was shut down against the Denver Broncos this past week. A fight with the San Francisco 49ers could be high scoring, but more in the ballpark of Rex Burkhead and James White rather than Harris.

Phillip Lindsay, DEN, vs. KC

Phillip Lindsay recorded over 100 yards in his first game back from injury as Melvin Gordon was held out of the game due to illness. Kansas City can be one of the more effective rush defenses in football and the idea of the game script should scare you out of starting Lindsay next week. He can keep the bench warm.
