Going into NFL week two is perhaps the hardest time to make sound decisions on the entire fantasy calendar. It’s filled with extreme confirmation bias and over reaction. This week’s RB workload rundown will likely be the longest of the season. Approach your backfields with care and don’t quit on an early pick because of a bad game script.

Todd Gurley : It wasn't pretty but I wouldn't call it ugly. The team leaned on him more late and had one of Malcolm Brown 's walk-in scores gone TGII's way it would be a different conversation. 

Kansas City: LeSean McCoy (10/81) was far more effective than Damien Williams (13/26) on the ground. This could be a major issue for Williams' owners. Much of McCoy’s work came with a lead but that’s the best time for an RB to produce. Watch for Williams to be boom/bust with better upside against an offense that can hang with KC. Darwin Thompson becomes a stash if you have that luxury.

James Conner : His opportunity was limited by the quickly negative game script but the snaps were his. This is a good sign with the team trailing for his role. 

Philadelphia (Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard , Darren Sproles ): Oh, you didn't believe me this preseason when I told you the Eagles were going to rotate three backs because you thought your guy was special? He might be but Philly rotates anyone and everyone. Stay away from here in shallow leagues, unless you want to hunt for some goal-line work (which could be any of them). 

Kerryon Johnson : Our worst fears were confirmed about this backfield. It's a full-on timeshare. Bad decision-makers run this team and KG will be a boom/bust option. 

Austin Ekeler : He dominated 75% of the snaps in a competitive game and out-touched Justin Jackson 2 to 1. If the Chargers aren't trying to run clock Ekeler figures to be the man. 

Washington: Adrian Peterson was a surprise scratch. Unfortunately, Derruis Guice aggravated his knee issue and is going to be out multiple weeks. AP will slot back in as the thunder to Chris Thompson ’s lighting.

Tampa Bay: I can tell you Dare Ogunbowale is the passing back. Everything else is up in the air. 

Miami: No one on the Dolphins had even a mediocre game. The minute number of plays were divided. 

Nick Chubb : Saw four targets and should have better days ahead as one of the few workhorse backs. 

Chris Carson : It wasn't just coach speak, Carson was the offense’s focal point. He rushed for one TD and caught another. Rashad Penny could be toast. 

Aaron Jones : The carries were split 13-5 between Jones and Jamaal Williams . That's not ideal but the game was a strange Thursday night affair. I'm suggesting patience until better matchups come, especially at home in Lambeau. 

Devonta Freeman : This was a surprising split. Ito Smith played half the snaps in a losing effort. It could have been a decision to preserve Freeman in a whitewashing but Freeman owner's finger is firmly on the panic button. 

Chicago (David Montgomery , Mike Davis , Tarik Cohen ): The other side to the TNF debacle. Tarik Cohen 's role seems unchanged as a gadget. Monty and Davis splitting carries 6-5 was a shocker. Let's see how it shapes up in a game that goes well before making big judgments. 

New England: Who had Rex Burkhead in bizarre Patriots RB usage bingo? Sony Michel was nowhere to be found. 

Denver: This looks like a dead-even split between Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman . They mainly alternated series.
