RB1: Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles ($6,500)

Miles Sanders has been one of the best running backs in fantasy football this season, especially as of late. After going for over 140 yards in two out of the last three games, he’s ascended to the overall RB9 on the season in PPR scoring. He’s been an understated reason for Philly’s success.

This week, Sanders gets a dream matchup against the Chicago Bears, who allow the sixth-most rushing yards per game, and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season. Sanders is a no-brainer RB1 who is worth the higher price.

RB2: Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs ($5,900)

Isiah Pacheco is another running back with a plus matchup this week, taking on the Houston Texans and their last-ranked run defense. Even though they played Dallas tough last week, they gave up several chunk plays on the ground and eventually lost on a rushing touchdown. The matchup has been a dream for almost any running back facing them this season.

Pacheco has emerged as a legitimate option out of the backfield for the Kansas City Chiefs, seemingly having early-down duties on lock while Jerick McKinnon remains the passing down back. Assuming the Chiefs make quick work of Houston and don’t find themselves in a trap game, expect a heavy dose of Pacheco in Week 15.
