Decent Essays

In week 2 and 3 of the NFL season trends become clear. Once again this has held true. Through these first two weeks there have been numerous disappointments, breakouts, and players who have lived up to high expectations. In this blog post I will be covering these players and giving some advice on what to do with some of these players. All references to points are in standard league scoring. Disappointments Demarco Murray- Demarco Murray had 9 rushes for 25 yards and had 3 yards in the air week 2. This comes after a week one in which Murray also disappointed.

That being said, it would not be surprising if he had a breakout week as he is facing the lackluster Saints defense. If he goes off attempt to trade him while his value is high. Ezekiel Elliott- Elliot had 9 rushes for 8 yards and had an additional 14 yards in the air. While Elliott was facing a solid Broncos run defense, he still looked to be running without energy. Don’t let this one week sway you though as Zeke is still an elite RB that should be considered a top 5 running back when he is playing. Breakouts Chris Carson- Carson had 20 carries for 93 yards plus another 7 yards through the air in week 2. Carson is locked in as Seattle’s top running back and could easily finish as a top 20 fantasy
