Over the last week, the running back position has been a roller coaster position ride for some fantasy managers. Kenyan Drake went from a hot community five days ago to a wasted fantasy investment once Gus Edwards was activated from the injured list this week. Jeff Wilson played well over four games (415 combined yards with two scores and six catches), but the trade for Christian McCaffrey this week pushes Wilson to fantasy benches. The coin flip at running back in Carolina landed on the daily double this week with D'onta Foreman rushing for 118 yards with two catches for 27 yards and Chuba Hubbard picking up 73 total yards and a touchdown, but Hubbard left this week's game with an ankle injury.
In Week 8, only two teams have a bye (Chiefs and Chargers). It is also essential to look ahead to Week 9 when six teams are off: Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Giants, Steelers, and 49ers.
