| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Edwards-Helaire didn't exactly see 25 carries again in week two, but we saw his usage through the receiving game bounce back to what we expected heading into the season. There are going to be scoring opportunities galore in this matchup, which means that CEH is a must-start option this week. While the Ravens defense is a tough matchup, CEH will see enough work to be viewed as a low-end RB1. | Fournette took advantage of his opportunity last week and shredded the Panthers defense nearly every single run. Fournette appears to have this job locked up now, which puts him into the RB2 conversation in this matchup. There's always the possibility that Arians pulls a fast one on us and we see Jones more than we anticipate, but he's a safe start as a low-end RB2 with upside if he does completely take over this backfield. |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | He leads the league with carries inside the 20-, 10-, and 5-yard line. He's totaled exactly 100 percent of the running back carries inside the red zone. The only other running backs who can say that are Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, James Robinson, and Kenyan Drake. Production will follow. We also saw him used in the passing game last year, though the matchup with the Chargers was a tough one. If there's one potential leak on the Ravens defense, it's got to be the run defense that's allowed 4.89 yards per carry through the first two weeks, though no teams have been able to commit to the run, as they've fallen behind rather quickly. That's why running backs have totaled just 42 total touches against them, which has hidden the efficiency running backs have had. There were six running backs who totaled at least 87 yards on the ground against the Ravens last year, and though none of them were on the Chiefs, there is a positive from their game against each other last year. The combination of LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams totaled 116 yards on 17 carries and added eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown through the air. With Edwards-Helaire getting 73.8 percent of the running back opportunities in the Chiefs backfield, he's a low-end RB1, even in a tough matchup. | It appeared that Jones may have lost the starting job last week. It's a shame because it was almost as if the Bucs were looking for a reason, but he gave them one when he botched the handoff leading to a turnover. Bruce Arians said after the game that he's not planning on giving the starting job to Fournette, and that he likes him to come into the game later and finish teams off. This could very easily become a Peyton Barber/Jones situation from last year where we never seemingly know which one to start. For now, it appears that Jones hasn't lost all hope, but he's on thin ice every week, which can't be good for his mental state entering a game. The Broncos have allowed 100-yard rushers in back-to-back games to open the season, as both Derrick Henry and James Conner were able to get there. That's a big change from last year when they allowed two 100-yard rushers all season. Oddly enough, Fournette was one of them when he rattled off 225 yards on 29 carries in their Week 4 matchup. The bottom line with this matchup is that we have a lack of confidence in which running back to trust. Jones appears to be the 1A but he presents so much risk that he can't be played as anything more than a low-end RB3 with tons of risk. Meanwhile, Fournette is going to get some touches, though how many depends on if Jones screws something up. Fournette should be considered a high-end RB4 who has some upside, sure, but also has a five-touch floor if Jones is running hot. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Ravens are 2nd against fantasy running backs, but some of that can be attributed to outscoring their opponents 71-22 on the season. It is still a tough matchup, but CEH should be a low-end RB1 playing on one of the elite offenses in the NFL. | Fournette had 12 rushing attempts for 103 yards and two touchdowns last week after Jones found the bench due to a fumble. Fournette seems poised to take over as the lead back in this offense and he is a RB2 against a Broncos team that is 9th against fantasy backs. |
