In a surprising twist, barely any running backs are dealing with injuries (that we know of), but a non-Zeke suspension plays a role. Marshawn Lynch’s one-game ban for shoving a referee turns Oakland into the newest timeshare to figure out with DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard (just when you thought you’d get a break from timeshares with the Giants and Titans on bye). Including the Raiders, the other timeshares of the Ravens, Colts and Seahawks all face tough tasks this weekend against tough run defenses.
On the bright side of things, the Patriots RBs should have plenty of yards to share, and LeGarrette Blount and Wendell Smallwood look to get their piece of the pie from the 49ers, who gave up 39 fantasy points to Ezekiel Elliott. The Saints rushing attack looked free and easy for the second straight week with Peterson gone, and it can very well continue for the third straight week at home against the Bears.
