START ‘EM – RB

Chris Carson. 1. player. 36. . Running Back. Seattle Seahawks

This could be one of my riskier Start ‘Em suggestions, but Chris Carson has a favorable match-up against the Saints this week. Per Michael Fabiano of NFL.com,

"After two weeks, their defense has given up 240 rushing yards and an average of almost six yards per attempt to backs."

Yes, Carson has had some trouble holding onto the football and he does split time with Rashaad Penny, but he’s worth a gamble in week three against a Saints team that has struggled against the run. Get Chris Carson in your lineups.

SIT ‘EM – RB

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

Has anyone been as disappointing as Phillip Lindsay has to this point? The Broncos running back has only rushed for 79 yards through two games so far.

To make matters worse – Lindsay is now relegated to splitting time with Royce Freeman and has become a dangerous play for fantasy football owners. With a tough match-up against the Packers and the chance that the Broncos will likely have to throw the ball a lot to catch up, Lindsay needs to be on your bench this week.
