NFL Fantasy Running Backs 2022 Week 3: Sit 'Em

Chase Edmonds - Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills

Chase Edmonds is a must-sit this week against the Buffalo Bills. He split carries in the Miami Dolphins' Week 2 win over the Baltimore Ravens with Raheem Mostert. Mostert previously worked under new head coach Mike McDaniel with the San Francisco 49ers, so could favor Mostert in the long run.

Edmonds also comes up against a stout Bills defense who held Derrick Henry to just 25 yards on the ground in Week 2.

Starting running backs might be best avoided altogether in this clash, as Devin Singletary is also a sit. Over the course of two games, Devin Singletary has only amassed 14 total carries. Zach Moss and James Cook have been stealing game time away from him. Josh Allen is a notorious threat at the goaline, which further detracts from Singletary's projections.

The Dolphins have also allowed just 7.9 fantasy points per game so far this season, the fewest in the NFL.

Melvin Gordon - Denver Broncos vs San Francisco 49ers

The Denver Broncos' offense has struggled since Russell Wilson came to town. They come up against arguably the best rush defense in the league in the 49ers in Week 3. This means you should sit Melvin Gordon this week.

Gordon has sat behind Javonte Williams in the early stages of 2022, rushing for just 105 yards on 22 attempts so far this year. The 49ers have allowed the second fewest rushing yards this season (135) and the fewest yards per carry (2.6).
