With salaries being set each Monday, they cannot be changed. Injuries and depth chart movement has impacted the value of these players salary significantly.
- Both Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb should be back to full health, and this matchup screams big Kareem Hunt game. The Ravens have been good up front this season, as their adjusted defensive line yards allowed is the lowest in the NFL. Their defense also has the highest stuff rate at 28%, which means the Browns might struggle to run the ball down the middle, so they’ll look to use Hunt in space. Don’t be scared off by his performance before the bye, he’ll likely be back to his pre injury usage.
- If he’s available on your wire still and you need a RB play, Rashaad Penny is playable this week. He split carries with Adrian Peterson, but was the far more efficient back, and Seattle gets Houston this week. The matchup alone is enough to consider starting him, and increases his touchdown odds a fair amount. With how many RBs are banged up, he might be your best option this week.
