SIT ‘EM – RB

player. 36. . Running Back. Seahawks. Chris Carson. 2

Chris Carson has been back to the kind of production that fantasy owners expected when they drafted him. Here he is though on my list of Sit ‘Ems for week 14. Why is that?

It’s all about the match-up with Carson this week. Despite some big games over the past few weeks, Carson and the Seahawks get a stout defense in the Vikings this Sunday. That Minnesota defense has been really good at stopping the run.

Per Fabiano of NFL.com,

"Still, he’s in a tough spot against a formidable Vikingsdefense that has allowed 3.6 yards per rush and the seventh-fewest total touchdowns (8) to opposing running backs this season."

It might seem risky, but leaving Chris Carson on the bench this week might pay off for your team.
