1. Austin Ekeler, Chargers vs. Raiders
Austin Ekeler is coming off a 25+ fantasy point game with 11 receptions, 60 recieving yards and a touchdown. The Raiders have one of the worst defenses in football, making Ekeler the RB1 this weekend.
2. Josh Jacobs, Raiders vs. Chargers
Josh Jacobs put up 300+ total yards and 2 touchdowns for a total of 48.3 fantasy points last weekend. The Chargers have the 28th ranked run defense in football making this another high upside game for Jacobs.
3. Nick Chubb, Browns vs. Texans
The Texans have the 32nd ranked run defense in the NFL and Nick Chubb will feast this weekend against them.
4. Derrick Henry, Titans vs. Eagles
Derrick Henry had a 70 yard reception and fumbled in the end zone otherwise he would have had over 20 fantasy points last weekend vs. the Bengals. Nonetheless, the Eagles have allowed a lot of fantasy points to RB’s in recent weeks so this is a positive matchup for King Henry.
5. Christian McCaffrey, 49ers vs. Dolphins
Christian McCaffrey only had 8 fantasy points against the Saints last weekend, but even against a good Dolphins defensive line, CMC has one of the highest upsides of any fantasy RB.
6. Saquon Barkley, Giants vs. Commanders
Saquon Barkley hasn’t been much of a factor in two weeks (just over 20 fantasy points over the past 2 games) and the Commanders defense is only getting better and healthier. Nonetheless, the Giants will need to implement Barkley more into the offense and as a result he will get the attempts and usage to thrive this weekend.
7. Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars vs. Lions
Travis Etienne Jr. went out of the Ravens game with an injury but should be good to go this weekend against one of the weaker defenses in football.
8. Joe Mixon, Bengals vs. Chiefs
Joe Mixon didn’t play last weekend against the Titans, but should be back against the Chiefs in what should be a shootout.
9. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots vs. Bills
Rhamondre Stevenson has been one of the best pass catching backs in the NFL this season and pulled in 9 receptions for 76 yards against the Vikings last weekend. The Bills have allowed a fair amount of fantasy points to opposing RB’s in recent weeks making Stevenson a solid play this weekend.
10. Jonathan Taylor, Colts vs. Cowboys
Jonathan Taylor had yet another TD against the Steelers on Monday Night Football and finished with 18.8 fantasy points. The Cowboys have a great defense but Taylor remains the primary offensive option for the Colts making his upside very high.
11. Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks vs. Rams
Kenneth Walker III only rushed for 26 yards on 14 attempts vs. an abysmal Raiders defense, but he also scored 2 touchdowns and because of his ability to get into the end zone, he remains a solid play this weekend.
12. Najee Harris, Steelers vs. Falcons
Najee Harris had a touchdown and 35 rushing yards before leaving the Steelers vs. Colts game in the second quarter. He was on pace again for another stellar game and continues to have extreme upside in a matchup against the Falcons this weekend.
13. Dalvin Cook, Vikings vs. Jets
Dalvin Cook is coming off of two subpar performances in a row and the Jets have one of the better defenses in football. Still, because of his workload, Cook is a solid play this weekend.
14. Aaron Jones, Packers vs. Bears
Aaron Jones caught a brilliant touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers against the Eagles last Sunday night, and has an easy matchup against the Bears this weekend. He would be higher if he was guaranteed 70%+ of the snap share, but A.J. Dillon has played well recently and will take some of Jones’ snaps.
15. Jamaal Williams, Lions vs. Jaguars
The touchdown machine Jamaal Williams has 5 TD’s over the last three Lions games and should continue to get red zone touches against the Jaguars this weekend. However, at anytime D’Andre Swift could take over as the lead back.
