Hey there undeFFeated fans! Week 9 of the NFL is quickly approaching us as we take a look at the running backs you must have in your lineup to try and remain undeFFeated.
1. Demarco Murray, Cowboys vs. Arizona
The Dallas Cowboys tailback is halfway to history as he continues to gain ground on Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. With an average of 131.4 yds/game, to say Murray is a must start would be an understatement. Even with Arizona's stout defense allowing the 3rd fewest yards to opposing running backs, we still feel that Demarco Murray will find the end zone at least once and continue his 8 game streak of 100+ rushing yards.
2. Jamaal Charles, Chiefs vs. New York Jets
The Jets may have a top 5 run defense but with Jamaal Charles unique running game, he is sure to give that Jets defense some trouble. Expect Charles to put on a show for his home crowd in Arrowhead Stadium.
3. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks vs. Oakland
We continue to roll with the home team running backs as we expect beast-mode to bounce back in a big way against the Oakland Raiders. Lynch may have been held to 62 yards or less in the past 3 outing but we feel confident he should be in your lineup this week.
4. Lesean McCoy, Eagles @ Houston
Shady has been a bit of a fantasy letdown thus far but not to worry because there is two halves to the season. Although he was held to 83 rushing yards last week, we feel certain that he will have a great week in Houston.
5. Arian Foster, Texans vs. Philadelphia
Foster has scored a touchdown in all but 3 outings this year. We expect him to get things going early in front of the home crowd at Reliant Stadium.
6. Le'Veon Bell, Steelers vs. Baltimore
Bell was unable to find the end zone in the last meeting vs the division rival Ravens. We
believe he will put out a better performace in the primetime matchup at Heinz Field.
7. Ronnie Hillman, Broncos @ New England
America will be watching as two of the AFC's best hash it out in what could be a snow filled game. If that is the case then Ronnie Hillman needs to be in your lineup. Peyton is notorious for having trouble in the snow. If the forecast stands he will need to rely heavily on Hillman in order for the Broncos to escape Foxboro with a win.
8. Ahmad Bradshaw, Colts @ New York Giants
Bradshaw has rushed for almost 400 yards this season as a split back. With Trent Richardson having some hamstring issues we believe Bradshaw is in store for a big week against his former team.
9. Ben Tate, Browns vs. Tampa Bay
The Browns have already notched 4 wins on the season and that has been with the help of Ben Tate. Expect Tate to find the end zone at least once in this home matchup against the one win Buccaneers.
10. Lamar Miller, Dolphins vs. San Diego
Closing out our top ten this week is a running back who makes a perfect FLEX for your lineup. Miller has found the end zone in the past three weeks and we are confident he will do it again this week at home against the Chargers.
