TOP RUNNING BACK PLAYS
Jonathan Taylor, Colts – Sometimes you just have to go with the obvious play, and the Captain Obvious play of the week is Jonathan Taylor. Tennessee cannot stop the run, and the Colts are a better team when Jonathan Taylor is rushing the ball at least 20 to 25 times. Taylor feels like a living lock for 100+ rushing yards and at least one touchdown, and possibly two.
Bijan Robinson, Falcons – It’s shocking to me that Miami hasn’t fired head coach Mike McDaniel yet, as the team looks lost on both offense and defense. In particular, the Dolphins’ run defense has been horrific, which is bad news considering they’re playing the Falcons, who really want to establish the run. Robinson has arguably been the best running back outside of Jonathan Taylor this season, and this game feels like a great one for him to have at least 120 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Rachaad White, Buccaneers – This week’s slate has a lot of high-end running backs who are in excellent fantasy environments. Possibly sliding under the radar is White, who will start once again with Bucky Irving likely missing the game. D’Andre Swift did an excellent job last week against the Saints, and I expect White to do similarly. Look for him to have about 50 yards rushing and another 50 yards receiving with a touchdown.
