Running Back 38 – D’Onta Foreman CHI
Foreman is on a new team, and could find himself in a split workload with Kahlil Herbert. The running backs (RB) have much different body types and running styles, but Foreman could get the goal line work, along with Justin Fields. D’Onta proved to be back in pre achilles injury shape once Christian McCaffery departed for San Fransisco. Beginning on week seven, Foreman ripped off 113 rushing yards or more in four of the next six games. He had 14+ fantasy points in those games and had spike weeks of; 34.80, 22.00, and 25.05 on week sixteen. He finished as RB 35 in .5 PPR leagues last year and RB 38 in a new system is more than achievable this year. Target the Chicago Bear late, or handcuff with Kahlil Herbert.

Linebacker 38 – Cody Barton WAS
Cody Barton is on a new team with new owners. There is a fresh air about Washington now, and the removed haze allows opportunity for a successful organization to shine once again. Barton joins a defensive-minded head coach in Ron Rivera, and has an amazing defensive line in front of him, and a star in the making linebacker (LB) beside him. Barton has great pursuit of the ball, and it reflects in his bust out season last year. He had 133 combined tackles, more than his previous three years combined. He had six games with over 10 combined tackles, recorded 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 6 passes defended. He should excel as LB 2 for Washington and be in the top forty LBs with another 100+ tackle season. Target Barton

Thank you for reading Mano y Mano. Check in tomorrow for the 37th ranked RB & LB.
