Zero RB Watch: NFC Week 11 – Keep Your Stashes Current as the Playoffs Loom

November 16, 2021

Shawn Siegele looks at the changing running back landscape in the NFC, including the disappointing Cordarrelle Patterson injury and an out-of-fashion runner who could be ready to leap back to RB1 status.

The biggest NFC storylines from Week 10 focused on injuries to Patterson and Aaron Jones. Neither back appears to be out for the long term, although any missed opportunity at this juncture has a major impact on fantasy positioning. The stars were also back in the NFC with Christian McCaffrey posting high-end RB1 results for the first time since Week 2. Dalvin Cook ended his own mini-drought, and D’Andre Swift picked up right where he left off, although the details of his workload were a departure from the norm.

It’s time to make our final playoff push in FFPC leagues and develop our benches in all formats. The important stashes continue to change, so let’s jump in.
