Hey!
Week 16 is here, and with the fantasy playoffs in full swing, this is a must-win slate.
Here are 4 running backs you should feel confident locking into your lineup this week. Let’s get into it…
#4 Kyle Monangai - bounce-back spot
Monangai’s Week 15 box score was one of his quietest of the season, but it was the exception, not the trend.
Over his previous 8 games, he’s been a steady RB2 on volume alone, averaging double-digit fantasy points with consistent rushing work.
Now he draws a Green Bay defense that has taken a clear step back recently due to injuries. This is a strong bounce-back spot for Monangai…
#3 Aaron Jones - elite matchup
Jones fantasy output last week didn’t reflect his role.
He still handled double-digit carries and stayed involved as a receiver, and now he gets one of the best matchups a running back can ask for against the Giants.
New York is allowing 5.5 rushing yards per play & Minnesota enters this game as a favorite. This sets up as an Aaron Jones efficiency spike week…
#2 Quinshon Judkins - get-right matchup
He’s frustrated managers the past 2 weeks with inefficient rushing & low fantasy totals.
But the matchup completely changes the outlook this week. The Bills have been the worst run defense in football, and we just saw that again last week.
Buffalo allowed over 250 yards to the Patriots in Week 15. Start Judkins this week…
#1 Omarion Hampton - touchdown upside
Hampton’s snap share has been limited since returning, which has made him tough to trust. But the usage should keep trending up as he gets healthier.
And this week he gets a Dallas defense that’s been run on all year in a high-total game. Expect plenty of points and yards in this game. Hampton should be in your lineups…
