Running Backs
RB Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions
No surprise here. Gibbs is our RB1 in a tremendous matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He is going to have an absolutely monstrous game. If you have to go up against him in Week 9, you better shoot for upside, because he is going to go off.
RB Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers
Hubbard climbs into our top-five this week in a matchup against the Denver Broncos. He has been fantastic, and we expect him to have a big week against the Broncos, who are much easier to run on than to throw on. We didn't expect him to be this high, but this is where he landed.
RB Jonah Coleman, Denver Broncos
After a breakout game in Week 8, fresh off the injured reserve, we have Coleman ranked as our RB8 in a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers. You should not hesitate or take a wait-and-see approach with Coleman. This is not the time to play it safe. Get him in all your lineups this week.
RB Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers
We have Jacobs at 14 spots below ECR (expert consensus rankings) as our RB25, falling just outside our RB2 running backs. He has been absolutely terrible and struggled mightily last week in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. he carried the ball 21 times for just 39 yards at 1.9 yards per carry, while catching six passes for just 13 yards.
While the fantasy numbers have been solid because he's found the end zone and caught some passes, he has a much tougher matchup this week against the New England Patriots. We expect next to nothing from him as far as yardage goes, so he is almost completely touchdown-dependent.
