Week 11 was a rough week for running backs. Out of all the running backs rated, only Ray Rice ended up with over 20 fantasy football points. To compare, two weeks ago, five RBs had 20+ points, with two backs scoring over 30.
Two of the week’s top point producers, Kevin Smith and Chris Ogbonnaya, weren’t rated and probably didn’t even start in your fantasy league.
