THE GOOD – Dion Lewis again proved start-worthy, finishing as the RB15 in standard leagues despite three touchdowns from teammate LeGarrette Blount. … Matt Jones got the start over Alfred Morris and nearly doubled up the veteran in touches, but the rookie finished outside of the top-50 fantasy RBs, justifying the outlook to temper expectations as a risky RB start in a tough divisional matchup. … C.J. Anderson was picked to finish outside the top-20 RBs, and he also finished outside of the top 50.
THE BAD – Allen Robinson (WR39) did little with his team-high nine targets and did not warrant a starting spot, nor did Russell Wilson (QB19) match his lofty prediction as he was pressured on more than half of his dropbacks and took four more sacks.
