Patriots RBs Will Drive You Crazy

Now you can add BenJarvis Green-Ellis into the mix. Green-Ellis was an absolute monster versus the Giants on Thursday, racking up 125 yards and 3 TDs on 29 carries. Sure, he’s practically the only running back that played (he had every RB carry except one) and yes, the QB was Brian Hoyer, so you wouldn’t expect a massive passing attack. But featured RB or not, preseason game or not, you can’t overlook 29 carries for 125 yards. Those stats demand you take notice, especially since we’ve seen this from him before.

Last season Green-Ellis came out of nowhere to be a fantasy-waiver darling, scoring a rushing touchdown in four straight games. He finished with five rushing touchdowns for the season, the same total as Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.
