START ‘EM – RB

Sony Michel. 2. player. 47. . Running Back. Patriots

Once again, I’m rolling with the strategy of starting whichever running back is facing the Chiefs defense this week and the lucky winner this week is… *drum roll* Sony Michel! The rookie out of Georgia got off to a slow start, but he will absolutely be a stud this weekend against one of the worst run defenses in the league.

Want to know just how bad the Chiefs defense has been against running backs through the first five games? Take it away, Michael Fabiano of NFL.com!

"Their defense has allowed the third-most scrimmage yards (188.4 YPG), the second-most (tied) total touchdowns (7) and the second-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs after five weeks this season."

Gotta like those odds if you have Michel on your team. The Patriots running back is coming off a game in which he ran for 98 yards and a touchdown against the Colts. He does have a knee injury, but he should suit up for Sunday night’s big game against Kansas City.
