6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Sony Michel will go up against a Chargers defense in the playoffs this weekend that allowed the 10th most fantasy points to running backs during the regular season. The rookie running back racked up 931 rushing yards with six touchdowns in 13 games played this season. Michel struggled staying healthy to begin the season but averaged 17.1 carries and 79.6 rushing yards a game over his last six contests. The key to the Patriots success this weekend will be a productive running game so Michel should see plenty of carries early and often. Michel could easily crack the top-5 among running backs in fantasy this weekend among the eight teams left in the playoffs.--Joey C - RotoBaller
