Last week the Jets running backs put up just 42 yards rushing. Isaiah Crowell had 35 yards on 12 carries while Bilal Powell totaled six yards on five carries. Not exactly performances that should lead any fantasy owners to want to start either of these guys.

Cleveland did a nice job stopping Alvin Kamara and the Saints run game from getting any kind of production on the ground. Kamara had just 46 yards rushing off of 13 carries.

The Browns did get gashed by James Connor and the Steelers run game in week one, but with the lack of pop from the Jets run game last week, I’d avoid starting anyone from that back field.

For what it’s worth, Crowell and Powell are both projected to put up over ten points in fantasy football this week. Crowell had over 100 yards rushing in week one, but let’s see if he can replicate those numbers against what’s proven to be a tough defense.
