Joe Mixon (RB – Cincinnati)
Denver’s defense has been getting crushed in recent weeks, but it’s been through the air and not the ground. They still have the #1 DVOA run defense. Joe Mixon hasn’t exactly been tearing things up this year with his three yards per carry, so don’t expect big things out of him in this one.
DeMarco Murray (RB – Tennessee)
Murray lit it up with three touchdowns last week, but his yardage was still pedestrian. Expect the yardage totals to remain low against Pittsburgh, who boasts the fourth best run defense DVOA. He always splits carries with Derrick Henry as well, so the scenario is much less than ideal.
Davante Adams (WR – Green Bay)
Adams has been the guy for Brett Hundley in recent weeks, which has owners feeling pretty good about putting him back in their lineup. Unfortunately he takes on Baltimore’s robust pass defense this week, which has limited opposing wide receivers to only five touchdowns in nine games and hasn’t allowed more than 150 yards to any wide receiving group. With not much opportunity for Adams in a low scoring game, he should sit on your bench for another week.
