I look at those gamelogs and don't think about which RBs did well...but which teams did well. You mention Cobbs and MIA. Cobbs did his damage with 3 receptions for 138 yds and 2 TDs. Rushing wise, though, MIA had Williams with 11 for 46 & 1 TD and Brown with 13 for 50 & 1 TD, which is solid. The only two games (of the ten played) where their opponent wasn't successful from a FF perspective (and NFL for that matter) rushing the ball was week 4 against JAX (an off game for JAX, but they were having major OL issues at the time) and week 8 against CIN. I guess you could throw DET in there too, but Kevin Smith had a decent game for a team that doesn't run enough (since they always play from behind).I think what you have to take from those gamelogs is that teams usually have lots of success running against HOU. For a team like MIA who plays multiple backs, they all had success (so don't get caught up in the fact that no single RB had a monster rushing game for MIA). For CLE, Lewis is the guy who carries the load (even if people think Harrison should see more touches). Maybe he hasn't had a 100 yard game this season, but I honestly think that 100 yards & a TD against HOU this week are very reasonable projections for Lewis. I think his upside is potentially huge this week too.Maybe you have better RBs going forward (not just looking at week 12 matchups), but it is very clear to me (and others) that Lewis will have a big game this week against a bad rush defense.
That is the thing...he is really not doing that badly this week, he is just not getting any chances. 3/19 - 2/10 would be great if he would get WAY more touches and continue at that pace.
