With six teams on bye in Week 11, we have to dig deep to find playable running back options. Chris Thompson is looking like he will sit out again for the Washington Redskins on Sunday and 33-year-old Adrian Peterson has been nursing shoulder and ankle injuries. That leaves Kapri Bibbs in position to play a significant role against the Houston Texans.

When Thompson sat out Weeks 6 and 7, Bibbs found his way onto the field for over 37% of offensive snaps. And the last two weeks, with Thompson out of action again, Bibbs played over 35% of plays. While not a complete Thompson clone, Bibbs does excel as the passing back in the Washington backfield alongside Peterson. In those last two games, he collected 76 total yards and a touchdown, while seeing 5 targets. The score was his second in the last three games. Bibbs should continue to see plenty of action this Sunday as a pass-heavy game script could be in order with Washington a 3.0-point home 'dog to Houston.

Over their last three games, opposing running backs have found success through the air against Houston, collecting at least 30 receiving yards and reaching the end zone twice. That makes Bibbs a nice dart throw for those in need this week.
