START ‘EM – RB

Broncos. Phillip Lindsay. 2. player. 45. . Running Back

My strategy with these weekly posts has been to advise fantasy footballers to start whichever running back has the Chiefs on their schedule. While this backfired on me last week with Joe Mixon, I’m stilling proceeding with my advice.

Phillip Lindsay had a good game against the Chiefs in week four, rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs defense did better against the run last week, but the Bengals got so far behind that they had to abandon the run.

Lindsay has been effective for fantasy owners this season, notching 16.6 in ESPN PPR leagues last week. He has had four straight games with double digit fantasy points and looks to make it a fifth straight week against what’s been a poor run defense in Kansas City.
