RBs to start in Week 13:
Dion Lewis (vs. Bills): is now the most consistent New England Patriots RB to own. Lewis has carried the ball 10+ times in the last six games and had his first 100-yard rushing game this season last week against the Dolphins. This week he faces the Buffalo Bills who have allowed the 3rd most points to RBs.
Jordan Howard (vs. 49ers): struggled last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Howard finished with his 2nd-worst point total last week where he had just 3.9 points. I’m plugging Howard right back into my lineup this week where he should bounce back against the 49ers who allow the most points to RBs.
Under the Radar RBs:
Orleans Darkwa (vs. Raiders): is the lead back for the Giants. Darkwa struggled last week against the Washington Redskins but faces an easier team to run against this week as he faces the Raiders. Look for Giants to establish the run against Oakland who allows the 8th most points to RBs.
Alex Collins (vs. Lions): is arguably the most talented back for the Baltimore Ravens. It’s hard to trust which Ravens RB is the clear cut guy but Collins should have a nice opportunity this week against the Detroit Lions who allow the 5th most points to RBs.
RBs to sit in Week 13:
Demarco Murray (vs. Texans): is seemingly losing touches in the Titans offense. Murray has struggled of late averaging just 1.86 yards per carry the last four games, which is absolutely awful. Murray has just 20 carries the last two weeks and has a tough matchup against the Houston Texans who allow the 3rd least amount of points to RBs.
Ameer Abdullah (vs. Ravens): has been hot and cold this season. It’s hard to fully trust a Lions RB as it depends on game flow who is in. Abdullah has failed to reach 53 rushing yards in the last 5 games and will probably come up short again against the Ravens who allow the 7th least amount of points to RBs.
