6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Sony Michel should see the lion's share of the touches in the backfield Sunday night against the Steelers in Week 1. Michel's training camp got off to a slow start recovering from offseason knee surgery but all reports indicate he is ready to roll. He will go up against a Steelers Defense that allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to the running back position last season and now will feature exciting rookie Devin Bush among their linebacker core. Michel totaled only 59 yards against Pittsburgh last season but averaged 90.8 rushing yards per game at home last season. Michel will have solid RB2/3 with RB1 upside for Week 1.--Joey C - RotoBaller
