START ‘EM – RB

When it comes to running backs to start every week, just look for whichever team is playing the Buffalo Bills. Their running defense was awful a year ago and the Baltimore Ravens will look to expose it in week one.

Since it’s the Ravens playing the Bills, that means those of you who have Alex Collins on your team are in luck. Collins is a MUST play this week because, yeah, as I mentioned, the Bills couldn’t stop the run last year.

According to Michael Fabiano of NFL.com,

"Buffalo also allowed 12 top-20 PPR backs, including seven in the top 10 in their last 10 games of 2017."

Those are good odds. Collins rushed for 973 yards and six touchdowns a year ago in what was a surprisingly good campaign for the former Arkansas standout. He has a chance to put up big numbers in week one, so make sure to start him.
