BenJarvus Green-Ellis off to hot start for fantasy owners against Steelers
BenJarvus Green-Ellis is finding plenty of room to run early on in Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.
Andrew Weber-US PRESSWIRE
Cedric Peerman did manage to vulture a touchdown from The Law Firm in the red zone, but Green-Ellis remains in control of the workload.
Fantasy Impact: Aside from the slight annoyance of Peerman’s presence near the goal line, this is a promising start from Green-Ellis. The Steelers are yielding under 100 yards per game on the ground in 2012, but Green-Ellis is well on his way to breaking that mark.
With the momentum the ground game has right now, the Bengals need to continue feeding Green-Ellis. He’s struggled in recent weeks, so they need to keep pushing the run game with the way things are playing out.
