5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Derrius Guice is the high-ceiling option in a frustrating backfield split with Adrian Peterson. Guice has taken a relative back seat to Peterson since returning from injury two weeks ago, but his youth and explosiveness make him the more likely candidate to go off despite a limited touch count. The Redskins have understandably been easing their second-year RB into action after long-term injuries cost him most of his first two seasons, but Week 13 represents a good time to take the training wheels off. Washington plays the Panthers, who are allowing just south of five yards per carry to RBs and have surrendered a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns to the position. Guice carries plenty of risk based on the evidence at hand regarding his workload, but he could be staring down flex value with an increase in opportunity.--Chris O'Reilly
