Week 10 was not a great week for the fill-in running backs. In fact, it was pretty awful. Mike Davis, Giovani Bernard, Jerick McKinnon and Duke Johnson all finished outside of the top 25 running backs. But what are you going to do, cry about it? I'm certainly not going to bench them this week considering most of them get a much easier matchup.
Davis failed against a Tampa Bay run defense that is arguably the best in the league. I thought he would make up for it with his work in the passing game, but he only gained 12 yards on his four catches. In Week 11 the Panthers expect to be without Christian McCaffrey again, and this time against a Lions defense that has allowed the most Fantasy points to running backs this season. Davis is a top 10 running back in my rankings once again.
Johnson may have been impacted by the weather more than anything. But he was still the only Texans running back to record a carry, and his Week 11 opponent (New England) hasn't exactly shut down opposing teams running backs. The fact that Johnson didn't catch a pass in Week 10 gives me some pause, but he's still a top 20 PPR back in Week 11.
Bernard shared a little bit too much with Samaje Perine, and there's a chance Joe Mixon returns in Week 11, but if you're asking me to project Bernard without Mixon, he's going to project as a starter. Sunday was Bernard's 10th game since the start of 2017 with at least 12 touches. It was the first such game where he failed to score double-digit Fantasy points. If Mixon is out in Week 11, I'm starting Bernard.
Of course, all the fill-in running backs weren't disasters. Kalen Ballage and Salvon Ahmed were quite good. There's more about them in the waivers section below.
