It should come as no surprise with the way this NFL season has played out, but as of Tuesday morning uncertainty reigns at running back for Week 13 in Fantasy football. We'll have some clarification on some of the questions this week, but some won't get answered before the games are played. As always, this running back preview for Week 13 will be updated throughout the week, but let's start with the clarification we're seeking.
Myles Gaskin and D'Andre Swift are expected to return from their injuries. That should make them must-start running backs based on their usage, but as Chris Carson showed us in Week 12, a return to play doesn't guarantee a return to the workload we last saw. Further complicating things is the uncertainty about Gaskin's starting quarterback and a coaching change in Detroit.
Speaking of Carson, was the workload we saw for him and Raheem Mostert in their returns the new normal or were they being eased back in? Same question for Miles Sanders, except we don't have the "eased back in" excuse to lean on with his disappointing workload.
Finally, we have the COVID-19 questions. We expect J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram to return Wednesday night against the Steelers, and hopefully that game gives us some clarity on the size of Dobbins' role. We don't expect James Conner back, which makes Benny Snell a borderline No. 2 running back until we get clarity on the size of his role. We also need to see whether Jonathan Taylor is cleared for a juicy matchup against the Houston Texans. Currently we have Nyheim Hines projected as a top-10 back without Taylor.
We'll answer as many of these questions as we can as the week moves on.
