  "account": "Week 7 of the fantasy football season brings some tough decisions for running backs, particularly between Cleveland Browns' Quinshon Judkins and Seattle Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson. In this analysis, we will break down their matchups and determine who to start and who to sit.\n\nQuinshon Judkins\nJudkins has been sidelined since Week 6 due to an ankle injury but will be available for the Browns in Week 7. Despite his rough outing against the New York Jets with only 14 rushes for 44 yards and three receptions for six yards, Judkins will look to bounce back against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have allowed a league-high 122.5 rushing yards per game and are giving up 16th most PPR fantasy points and 18th most standard to opposing RBs. Two of the last three RB1s to face Tennessee had over 70 rushing yards and scored a touchdown.\n\nEmanuel Wilson\nMeanwhile, Wilson has missed the Seahawks' past three games due to a hamstring injury, and Zach Charbonnet's return to the lineup is uncertain. Wilson has averaged 18.3 carries, 64.7 rushing yards, and three touchdowns in his last three games. The Kansas City Chiefs have had a strong rushing defense, allowing the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game at 88.0. However, they are tough opponents for RBs with the ninth-fewest PPR and fifth-fewest standard fantasy points allowed to opposing RBs per game. In their last three matchups, the three RBs had under 60 rushing yards and no touchdowns.\n\nFinal Verdict\nBased on the matchup comparisons, fantasy managers should sit Wilson and start Judkins this week. Judkins presents a significantly better matchup than Wilson, and both running backs are heavily dependent on touchdowns. With the Titans allowing four touchdown passes to opposing RBs and the Chiefs allowing three this season, Judkins has a higher chance of scoring a touchdown and being a better fantasy option. The Chiefs' defensive struggles against the run further support the decision to start Judkins over Wilson.",
