DeAngelo Williams VS Cleveland Browns: Cleveland has given up 147 yards and a touchdown per game all season long. Now they look to face a Steelers team possibly without Ben Roethlisberger, who will look to rely on the running attack. The Browns have given up the fourth most fantasy points to running backs this season; meaning Williams could yield some huge stat lines.

LeGarrette Blount at New York Giants: Without Dion Lewis, LeGarrette Blount could see an increased workload. The Giants have allowed over 100 rushing yards in the last 5 games so I would expect them to struggle against the undefeated Patriots ground attack. The only limiting factor in this matchup could be New England's offensive line health. Just by sheer workload Blount should be considered as a primary option at running back this week.

Todd Gurley VS Chicago Bears: Come on it's TODD GURLEY. He has been dominant since he has stepped onto the field. The Bears on average allow 128 yards on the ground and running is all the Rams do. Gurley is lock as an RB1.

Eddie Lacy/James Starks VS Detroit Lions: Lacy VS Starks continues for another week. The Lions run defense has more leaks than umbrella made of toilet paper. Whichever running back has the hot hand should be the dominant back here and have a big day. My money is on Lacy only because I am sitting him and he has loved to torture fantasy owners all year long. The Lions have given up 133 yards to running backs per game along with 14 rushing touchdowns, the highest in the league.
