1. Adrian Peterson vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks just surrendered 85 yards and two TDs to Chris “Beanie” Wells and now they get the premier RB in fantasy football - and the NFL. Look for AD to top 125 yards and a few scores against a very suspect run defense.
2. Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Buffalo Bills
Running backs have feasted on the porous Bills run defense in 2009. Over 100 yards and a few TDs is literally a given when playing this unit. Look for MJD to have a huge game on Sunday and top 125 yards and at least two scores.
3. Chris Johnson vs. Houston Texans
If Johnson keeps up his current pace, he has a great shot at 2,000 yards in 2009. In Week 10, he had another stellar outing with over 100 yards both rushing and receiving and two TDs.
He’s also very familiar with the Texans defense; he carved them up for almost 300 total yards and three TDs earlier in the season. Expect another big game here.
4. Ray Rice vs. Indianapolis Colts
Rice is a premier dual threat and will be a load for the Colts defense to handle. Look for Flacco to incorporate him into the passing game and for Rice to hit the century mark with a score on the ground.
Sleepers
1. Chris Wells vs. St. Louis Rams
Wells is coming on strong and just notched the first two-TD game of his career vs. the Seahawks. The Rams defense is soft and Beanie’s slowly becoming the Cardinals No. 1. He’s a great fantasy sleeper this week.
2. LeSean McCoy vs. Chicago Bears
Frank Gore ran through this depleted Bears defense last Thursday Night and with the loss of Brian Westbrook to another concussion, McCoy will have an opportunity to do the same. Expect Reid to call a more balanced attack on Sunday.
Others We Like
Pierre Thomas vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs have done very little in 2009 with regards to stopping the run. Opposing RBs have feasted on this unit. Thomas will do the same in Week 11 with a 100-yard game.
Steven Jackson vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Cards, and their top ten run defense, were surprisingly torched by Justin Forsett of the Seahawks for over 100 yards and a TD on Sunday. This week they face Steven Jackson who’s a beast stuck on a poor team. However, he’ll still top 100 yards with a TD.
Cedric Benson vs. Oakland Raiders
Benson exited the Steelers game early but says he’ll be fine for the Raiders. Everyone runs on the Raiders and Benson, even if he were only 70%, would easily top the 100 yard mark with a few scores.
