Wendell Smallwood
With injuries to Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles, expect to see Smallwood get a full load on Sunday. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry against a tough Seahawks defense. That’s a pretty good average against one of the best defenses in the league.
The Packers defense isn’t as good as the Seahawks so I expect Smallwood to have a great game. If Robert Kelley can run all over the Packers D, then Smallwood will do the same.
With at least 20-25 carries this week against the Packers, Smallwood will easily have 150 yards. On top of the carries, he will have two touchdowns. One will be a receiving touchdown since he is also a duel threat type of player like Darren Sproles.
