Todd Gurley at Green Bay Packers: Gurley should be all over this Packers defense. He made the Cardinals look bad, how is that even possible? Gurley will be a matchup nightmare for the Packers coming out of the backfield and could easily be their main source of offensive firepower. Gurley is a must start in all leagues this week.

Jamaal Charles at Chicago Bears: Charles will abuse this defense, he is not Latavius Murray, and he is one of the highest scoring running backs in the NFL. Charles should be the go too player to put this game away for the Chiefs.

Joseph Randle at New England Patriots: Randle will run the ball a ton, the Cowboys cannot outscore the Patriots so they will attempt to control the time of possession. Randle should have the ball a lot but may McFadden and Michael will have bigger roles as well. Randle is explosive enough to carry this Cowboys offense for the first half.

Wild Card Matchup:

Latavius Murray VS Denver Broncos defense: Murray should step up to the plate this week as he dropped the ball (literally and figuratively) multiple times last week. I would not be surprised if Murray is the main factor that keeps the Raiders in the game. The Broncos defense is good and does have playmakers but the Raiders will figure out just how good the running back is.
