The Top RBs To Start in Week 8
Kareem Hunt | Cleveland Browns @ SEA
The efficiency hasn’t been very exciting, but Kareem Hunt has managed to find the end zone in two straight games.
MORE: Fantasy News Tracker
Hunt has three TDs over the last two weeks, but he still finished with fewer carries and rushing yards than Jerome Ford in both of those games.
Unfortunately for the Browns, Ford suffered an ankle injury that could cost him some time in the coming weeks, which means Hunt should see an expanded role against the Seattle Seahawks.
AJ Dillon | Green Bay Packers vs. MIN
Many fantasy managers had high hopes for Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones against the Denver Broncos last week.
Well, it was AJ Dillon who had a decent fantasy outing against the Broncos, leading the team in carries (15), rushing yards (61), and receiving yards (34).
If Dillon maintains this type of usage in the backfield, he is in Flex consideration for your fantasy lineup in Week 8.
