Multiple top running backs look to be headed in opposite directions this week. With fantasy titles on the line, the best players must start while some weaker teams hope to fill their gaps with backup replacement backs. Here’s a look at running backs in Week 13 with injury news:
Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati expects Mixon to play against the Chiefs. He left Week 11 with a concussion, costing him the next game vs. the Titans. His touches should mirror his previous opportunity.
Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars
A foot issue sent Etienne to the locker room after five snaps against the Ravens. The Jaguars stated that he was cleared to return but they decided to err on the side of caution by resting him for the remainder of the game. He has a primo matchup this week vs. the Lions and Jacksonville should have Etienne in the starting lineup on Sunday.
