5 years agoNew England Patriots running back Sony Michel will try and build off a strong Week 5 performance when the team takes on the Giants this Thursday. Michel has followed up a strong game with a dud thus far but certainly is coming off his best game of the season. He will go up against a Giants Defense that is allowing the 17th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. But the Vikings Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison just ripped up the Giants defense for 184 yards, making this an intriguing matchup for Michel. He will continue to share time with James White and Rex Burkhead but Michel is still the lead runner in the backfield. He will have RB2 appeal in Week 6.--Joey C - RotoBaller
