Here’s another positive heading into this week: Favorable matchups for several committees. The Broncos (vs. Chiefs), Eagles (@ Cowboys), Chiefs (@ Broncos), Bills (vs. Dolphins), and 49ers (@ Redskins) all feature two playable RBs this week, and while you never know who will get the touchdowns or majority of touches in some of these situations, we do know both of their respective committee backs are talented enough to take advantage of weak run defenses. The ceilings for guys like Royce Freeman, Devin Singletary, Miles Sanders, and Matt Breida aren’t necessarily high, but they can still get the jobs done as RB2s or FLEX options.

WEEK 7 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

On the other side of the committee spectrum, Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler (@ Titans) have mostly struggled the past two weeks and are both dropping in a tough matchup against Tennessee. It’s tough to totally discount the volume and TD potential for Gordon, but he’s looking like a FLEX, at best, until he shows some signs of life. Joe Mixon (vs. Jaguars) is the primary game in town for Cincinnati, but he hasn’t been much better. He gets a higher workload share and has a much better matchup on paper, though, so he remains in our top 20.

WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end

Chase Edmonds (@ Giants) continues to rise with back-to-back solid performances, but his touches dropped to seven last week, so clearly the floor is low. Mark Walton (@ Bills) is interesting after he saw an increase in playing time after Miami’s bye, but with three backs vying for touches and a tough matchup against Buffalo on tap, he’s still a Kenyan Drake trade away from having any sort of real value.

Overall, this looks like a strong week for RBs. Anytime a committee has a favorable matchup, that makes starting the secondary guys much more palatable. You know the stars will in your lineups even in tough matchups (see Alvin Kamara @ Bears), so filling out that final spot in your lineup might actually be difficult this week for positive reasons.
