Start

Chase Edmonds, ARI, vs. JAX

Edmonds has been exactly what he has needed to be in fantasy. A player that can produce around 10 points a week as his floor with the ability to boom any given time. He’s a must-start this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars as they should give Edmonds a chance to finally boom while getting enough work to not hurt you either.

Ty’Son Williams, BAL, vs. DET

Williams and Latavius Murray are making up a solid 1-2 punch in Baltimore and they should be able to show how great they are as a duo this week against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have already been gashed by running backs through the first two weeks of the season and all signs point to that not stopping all year long.

Josh Jacobs, LV, vs. MIA

If Jacobs is able to play this week, expect him to have a great showing against the Miami Dolphins. Miami has been destroyed by Damien Harris, Devin Singletary, and Zack Moss over the first two weeks of the year. If Jacobs can play, roll with him. If not, Kenyan Drake has a lot of upsides.

Sit

Devin Singletary, BUF, vs. WAS

The Buffalo Bills have started to believe in their run game with Singletary at the head of it. The speedy back broke off a huge touchdown last week and feels like he is becoming a certified RB2. That being said, we still consider taking precautions heading into this week as Singletary needs to show one more time that he can deliver when it’s needed most.

Texans RBs, vs. CAR (Thurs.)

The Houston Texans were on a roll over the past two weeks fantasy-wise until Tyrod Taylor got injured. With him battling back from injury and likely to miss Thursday, we think it will be best to sit all Houston players until we see what Davis Mills is all about.

Sony Michel, LAR, vs. TB

Michel got some good runs last week and looked good in doing so. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, he still feels more of a stash as the Buccaneers from seven remain the league’s elite.
