DEN - Kapri Bibbs pushing to become a starter?
Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis

Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker participated in 46-of-56 offensive snaps in Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders. However, head coach Gary Kubiak stated Kapri Bibbs has earned more work while meeting with reporters Monday, Nov. 7. In fact, 9News.com's Mike Klis is suggesting Bibbs, who played nine snaps, could see the ratio to change in Bibbs' favor in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Broncos need to jump-start their rushing attack, and Booker is not getting it done. Bibbs turned a screen pass into a 69-yard touchdown against the Raiders on Sunday night, and that lone play could get him more touches. Booker has been battling a shoulder injury, and the Broncos aren't running the ball well as a team. Booker and Bibbs could become a near 50/50 RBBC ... and it's something fantasy owners are best left to avoid until things work better on the ground for the Broncos.

Washington Redskins RB Rob Kelley is expected to receive the bulk of carries in Week 10, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Gruden added that RB Matt Jones (knee) will need to earn his way back into the starting role.

In Week 8 against the Bengals, Kelley scored a rushing TD and had 87 yards on the ground. As the lead back, the rookie could grind down opposing defenses with 20-plus carries. From a fantasy lens, he's a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 so long as he's the main back.

Cleveland Browns QB Cody Kessler is expected to throw more deep balls in the eyes of head coach Hue Jackson.

Kessler has the fourth-lowest air-yards-per-attempt average (6.93 yards) in the NFL so far this year. His off-target percentage (10.1 percent) is the best in the league.

It's important to note as Ingram is back in the good graces of head coach Sean Payton (and fantasy owners). Also, the Saints are at home against a Broncos defense that can be run on early and often.

The Jets have used Forte well three out of the last four games, and he's been successful. If the Jets are wise, they should attack on the ground and keep the ball out of their quarterback's hands. We think they do that and he gets a full load of carries, and should be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.

Barber is the better physical talent and he has had more experience with the team this year, but James had his moments during his first stint with the Bucs. If you have to pick one, Barber is probably the better bet, but James could come through as a desperation play.

This means it's probably a good idea to set your lineup without him if you can. Peyton Barber will be a worthy flex, if not RB2 play if Martin is out, but if Martin is active, then the workload of both will be uncertain against a Bears defense that has been tough on the run this year.

SEA - RB C.J. Prosise could start Week 10

Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise could serve as the starting running back for Week 10's game against the New England Patriots.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Christine Michael is a game-time decision (most likely) for the Seahawks. Prosise, a converted WR from Notre Dame, has been doing more in recent weeks -- especially as a receiver out of the backfield. His snaps (16, 23, 26) have increased each of the last three weeks, and if Prosise is the starter then he could set a season high in Week 10. We see Prosise as an interesting DFS play if he starts, and a flex option for season-long fantasy players.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Christine Michael (hamstring, questionable) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Patriots.



The Seahawks are playing on Sunday night but it doesn't look like Michael owners will have to sweat it out. C-Mike's shrinking workload is of much greater concern than his hamstring issue. With Michael struggling and rookie C.J. Prosise hogging most of the passing-down work, C-Mike is no better than an RB3 against New England. Essentially, you're praying for him to score a goal-line touchdown.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Carlos Hyde (shoulder, questionable) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Cardinals.



Hyde's shoulder injury sidelined him a bit longer than expected but after putting in another limited week of practice, it looks like he's finally ready to go. Hyde is usually a weekly RB2 in fantasy but we're always hesitant to trust players coming off lengthy injuries, especially in a matchup where game script could become an issue. He belongs on the RB2/3 borderline.
