AJ Dillon Posts Pedestrian Line As Starter

Sunday, September 17, 7:52 PM

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon took 15 carries for 55 yards and added one reception for an additional eight yards during the team's 25-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Drawing the start with Aaron Jones (hamstring) ruled out before kickoff, the 25-year-old averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. It was a golden opportunity for the fourth-year back, but he did little with it and disappointed the fantasy managers who started him hoping for a top-20 fantasy performance. He did handle 15 of the 19 carries given to the running back corps, but the volume did not matter at the end of the day. If Dillon can't be trusted as a flex option when given the majority of carries, he will be tough to trust moving forward once Jones returns. Next week's matchup against New Orleans is one to avoid, making Dillon an easy fade in Week 3.

Rachaad White Could Struggle Against Eagles

Thursday, September 21, 5:00 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White struggled during the season opener, but looked much better in Week 2. Last week, White topped over 100 total yards and scored a touchdown in the victory over the Chicago Bears. The Bucs have made it known they want to pound the ball with White. He has 17 rushing attempts in both games to start the season. The expectation is that the Bucs are going to continue giving him the ball. However, White is likely to struggle versus the Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 3. A defensive unit that has allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. That being said, fantasy managers should consider White a possible flex option for this upcoming matchup.
