• The best RB plays in Week 8  🔥 

• Analysis on the positive matchups ✍️

• The latest news from around the NFL 🏈

#12: Javonte Williams (DEN) vs. CAR

Javonte dominated the touches out of the backfield last Thursday night, and it paid off big time in the matchup with the Saints. There’s no reason he won’t continue that momentum against a Panthers team allowing nearly 32 PPR points to the position each week.

#11: D’Andre Swift (CHI) vs. WAS

Swift has benefitted greatly from a stabilizing offense in Chicago. He has 3 straight games with 100 yards and a touchdown, and is coming into this one with fresh legs after a bye week.

#10: Jordan Mason (SF) vs. DAL

When we last saw the Cowboys they had allowed 164 ground yards to Detroit’s top-3 RBs. Mason doesn’t have to share his carries nearly as much as the Lions backs. Plus, San Fran’s receivers are banged up.

#9: Bijan Robinson (ATL) @TB

Now that Bijan is getting the majority of his team’s work, he’s turning in great fantasy numbers: 25.5 and 23.3 PPR points in the last 2 weeks. Tampa’s defense is vulnerable, so he’ll continue to eat in this divisional showdown.

#8: J.K. Dobbins (LAC) vs. NO

Dobbins should bounce back this weekend after a tough game against the Cardinals. The Saints are allowing 5.4 yards per carry to opposing backs.

#7: De’Von Achane (MIA) vs. ARI

The Dolphins and their fans really hope to see Tua Tagovailoa return this week. But, even if he doesn’t, Achane should be able to exploit an Arizona front allowing 139.6 yards per game on the ground.

#6: Aaron Jones (MIN) @ LAR

Jones has averaged over 23 PPR points in 3 of his last 4, with the only disappointment coming in a game he left early due to injury. There’s no question who the true workhorse is in Minnesota.

#5: Kenneth Walker (SEA) vs. BUF

Buffalo allows the 3rd-most fantasy points per game to RBs, and Walker has shown a nose for the end zone. He has 3 scores in the last 2 weeks, while Zach Charbonnet has been a non-factor.

#4: Joe Mixon (HOU) vs. IND

Mixon already has a big game against the Colts this season, rushing for 159 yards and a touchdown back in Week 1. He’s also on a nice little tear, averaging 26.8 PPR points over the last 2 weeks.
