There's a classic football saying, “you can't make the club from the tub." Well, in fantasy football it's hard to win the strap if your players aren't getting the snaps.

This week it's all about running backs. Injuries have changed the landscape of this position a great deal resulting in backfield committees all over the place. Given league-wide instability, seasonal owners that made it to championship weekend could be looking at a number of possible dart throws at running back with the title on the line. Meanwhile, DFS players face a list of worthy options that only getting shorter as the regular season draws to a close.

As always, tweet me @ericmcclung with your comments and suggestions.

Baltimore Ravens (68 offensive snaps)

After losing a fumble in two consecutive game, Javorius Allen was benched nine snaps into last week's game against the Chiefs. Based on recent quotes, John Harbaugh has every intention to leave Buck as the starter. The inbound Steelers are one of the most brutal opposing defenses for fantasy running backs, however. Should Allen put another one on the ground, Terrance West would take over once again.

Carolina Panthers (77 snaps)

So much for any concerns with Greg Olsen's knee. In addition to catching six passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, he played all 77 snaps of offense for the Panthers.

Filling in for Jonathan Stewart, it was Cameron Artis-Payne (16 touches, 93 combined yards) pacing the backfield with 31 snaps while Fozzy Whittaker (four touches, 16 combined yards) was on the field for 26 snaps. Mike Tolbert (five carries, 10 yards) saw 23 snaps while getting some action at fullback.

Just two weeks ago against the same Falcons defense they'll now face on the road, Carolina running backs totaled 126 yards on 24 carries. Stewart is now out of his walking boot, but the Panthers have no reason to force the issue here.

Chicago Bears (64 snaps)

Over the last three weeks, Matt Forte (30 snaps) has found the end zone despite finding himself in a fairly even timeshare with rookie Jeremy Langford (28 snaps). The opposing Buccaneers have allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back in two straight games after keeping them shutout in nine straight.

Cincinnati Bengals (63 snaps)

A.J. Green (back) only lasted 38 snaps, although his services weren't really needed against the 49ers. However, the injury Green suffered in Saturday's practice seemed like a factor given he only caught one pass for 37 yards.

The Niners were stout in the run game, but Jeremy Hill managed to punch in two short yardage touchdowns. He played 27 snaps while Giovani Bernard saw 37 snaps. Neither one is appealing heading into Denver.

Denver Broncos (76 snaps)

An early fumble didn't keep Ronnie Hillman from playing two more snaps than C.J. Anderson while also getting out touched by nine.

Green Bay Packers (76 snaps)

Despite a week of talking up Eddie Lacy, the Packers only played him seven more snaps than James Starks. Lacy managed just 23 yards on 11 carries while Starks got 51 yards out of his nine rushing attempts. Green Bay will travel to Arizona to take on a Cardinals defense that's been formidable against the run despite springing leaks in the secondary over the last two weeks.

Houston Texans (76 snaps)

After playing nine snaps in Week 13 and zero snaps in Week 14, of course Alfred Blue plays 35 snaps against the Colts. Blue totaled 107 yards on 20 carries while Jonathan Grimes got in involved on 22 snaps. Chris Polk saw the field just eight times. This week is a rematch of Week 8 against a sound Titans run defense.

Kansas City Chiefs (51 snaps)

Spencer Ware (ribs) was active, but never saw the field as Charcandrick West got 18 touches while playing 47 snaps. The Browns struggle against the run, but have only allowed one rushing touchdown to an opposing back since Week 8.

Miami Dolphins (57 snaps)

For the second week in a row we are left to wonder what the Dolphins are doing with Lamar Miller. He only played 18 snaps while rookie Jay Ajayi led the backfield with 31 snaps. There have been reports of ankle and quad injuries, but Miller has insisted the only thing limiting him has been the coaches. Miller is a free agent at the end of the year and it's possible the team has already decided he is not in their future plans.

New England Patriots (66 snaps)

The curve ball this week in the Patriots backfield was Joey Iosefa (who's more of a fullback) rushing a team-high 14 times for 51 yards and playing 20 snaps. Brandon Bolden (28 snaps) compiled 36 yards on his 10 carries. However, the real story remains James White. He played 22 snaps, but caught seven passes for 71 yards with a touchdown. Both Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman could be shelved until the playoffs, keeping White in place as a large piece of the passing game.

New York Giants (75 snaps)

The Giants have finally decided to go with more traditional, and logical, backfield mix. Andre Williams only carried the ball six times while Rashad Jennings (35 snaps) and Shane Vereen (31 snaps) saw a near even split. Jennings is coming off his best two games of the season and gets a Vikings defense that has good season-long numbers against running backs, but very pedestrian over the last two months.

New York Jets (71 snaps)

Bilal Powell (36 snaps) is a much better fit for Chan Gailey's spread offense and the results now speak for themselves. Powell has caught five or more passes in five of the last five games and has scored a touchdown in three straight. Meanwhile, Chris Ivory (28 snap) has seen erratic usage and production during that time. He's only scored once since Week 10.

Philadelphia Eagles (63 snaps)

The reconfigured Eagles backfield remains extremely unproductive. Against Arizona, it was mostly Darren Sproles (30 snaps, six carries, nine yards) and Ryan Mathews (26 snaps, 11 carries, 58 yards). Meanwhile, the exiled DeMarco Murray (eight snaps) saw just two carries. It's hard to imagine playing any of them when Philadelphia hosts the Redskins Saturday night.

Seattle Seahawks (67 snaps)

Christine Michael (24 snaps, 16 carries, 84 yards) was solid last week against the Browns and clearly outplayed Bryce Brown (22 snaps, nine carries, 43 yards). Michael could be very much in play this week against the Rams. Despite a vaunted defensive line, St. Louis has given up a lot of production to opposing running backs throughout the season.

Washington Redskins (57 snaps)

After carrying the ball 18 times in two consecutive games, the Skins limited rookie Matt Jones (26 snaps) to 10 carries. Meanwhile, Alfred Morris (30 snaps, 14 carries, 84 yards) had one of his better days. There's clearly no real pattern to how Washington deploys Jones and Morris from one week to the next. The Eagles were just torched by David Johnson (29 carries, 187 yards, three touchdowns) last week, but it's obvious neither of these backs will be assured an opportunity to take full advantage of the matchup.
