The period's opening week started with a whimper for commonly started running backs Ezekiel Elliott and also Ronald Jones II, then proceeded to feature more spectacular growths, from Trey Lecture and Zack Moss being inactives to Elijah Mitchell and Mark Ingram dominating brings and also bursting out in large means. There were a few backs that did what they were supposed to do (Alvin Kamara, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey), however it's likely greater than a few fantasy dream football owners were left disappointed by their RB production. We did our finest not to panic when assembling our Week 2 dream RB rankings, yet in some circumstances, how could we not?
We're still waiting to figure out even more regarding the Preaching as well as Moss circumstances, but with Raheem Mostert (knee)leaving Week 1 early, it's feasible Sermon will be thrust into activity in Week 2. He's in our rankings, however he's still well behind Mitchell( @ Eagles). Moss is additionally in our positions in the meantime, yet we're treating Devin Singletary (@ Dolphins) as the clear starter. James Robinson(vs. Broncos ), Saquon Barkley (@ Washington), Aaron Jones(vs. Lions), Clyde Edwards-Helaire(@ Ravens), and also Najee Harris(vs. Bengals)were all significant disappointments, too,
WEEK 2 CRITERION RANKINGS: Quarterback|Wide Receiver|Limited End|D/ST|Kicker Several other RB situations remain uncertain. Chase Edmonds and also James Conner( vs. Vikings )both had 16 touches for the Cardinals, with Edmonds serving extra as the getting back( four catches)as well as Conner serving as the goal-line back. Both were decent, however Conner is toning up to be a TD-or-bust play most weeks, while Edmonds is much better matched for PPR leagues. Still, he has a somewhat higher flooring thanks to his lawns. Javonte Williams and also Melvin Gordon likewise saw a similar split (three more lugs for Williams, two even more catches for Gordon), yet Gordon popped a 70-yard TD while Denver was going out the clock, providing him the far better fantasy day. Still, this is as equivalent as it obtains, as well as against Jacksonville this week, both are in play as RB2/flex backs. Detroit will likely have an almost even split again between D'Andre Swift as well as Jamaal Williams once more, as well as against Environment-friendly Bay, that gives both flex worth.
Myles Gaskin (14 touches) was the clear leader in the Dolphins backfield, but he had a relatively substandard day (76 total yards). A match versus the Bills, that shut down Najee Harris, doesn't figure to assist his reason, yet he still has flex value, too. The same can't be said for Tevin Coleman in New York. He was the clear leader in the Jets backfield, getting nine lugs compared to four each for Ty Johnson as well as Michael Carter, but he not did anything with them (24 backyards). Versus New England, all Jets backs are stayaways.
It's not uncommon to see rather wild swings in work from Week 1 to Week 2. It should not surprise any individual if the Jaguars decide to lean on Robinson in Week 2 after obtaining thumped in Week 1. The Bucs might offer Jones another possibility, the Rams might use Michel a lot more now that he's had one more valuable week with the team, Preaching could be the 49ers lead back, and also Salvon Ahmed could instantly begin racking up lugs for the Dolphins. Heck, even Larry Rountree III (vs. Cowboys) might continue to get even more lugs and also operate as the goal-line back for the Chargers. We're not taking anything for approved, however clearly we have to base our positions on something, so here's hoping trains do not obtain also insane in Week 2.
