1. Adrian Peterson – The Vikings will rely on Peterson heavily against the Patriots and he’ll top 125 yards and 2 TDs. He’s the top ranked fantasy football RB in Week 8.
2. Frank Gore – Darren McFadden ripped off a career day (165 yards, 3 TDs rushing) vs. the Broncos and Gore has been solid all year. He’ll shine against a horrid Broncos run D.
3. Chris Johnson - The Titans will run the ball plenty in San Diego and Johnson will top 100 yards with 2 TDs.
4. Rashard Mendenhall - The Saints run D can’t stop anyone. Mendenhall will easily top 100 yards and a few TDs.
Next In Line
Jamaal Charles - Look for Charles to break loose against the Bills and find the end zone.
Arian Foster – The Colts D won’t be nearly as bad as they were in Week 1, but Foster will have a strong game on Monday Night.
Maurice Jones-Drew - The loss of Tony Romo has demoralized the Cowboys and Jones-Drew will have a solid game against Dallas.
Rounding Out the List
LaDainian Tomlinson - The rejuvenated Tomlinson will reach the end zone multiple times on Sunday.
Ryan Torain - The Lions are vulnerable against the run and the Redskins will feed the ball to Torain all afternoon.
Ronnie Brown - Look for the Dolphins to run the ball heavily against the Bengals and for Brown to score.
Jahvid Best - The rookie’s toe injury should be better after the bye and there’s room to run against the Skins.
Steven Jackson – The Rams will feed the ball to their horse who will respond with 100 yards and a TD vs. a beaten down Panthers D.
Darren McFadden - Got to stick with the hot hand. He scored 4 TDs in Denver and will have a lot of success vs. the Seahawks at home.
Cedric Benson - Look for Benson to receive 20+ carries and top 100 yards with a score.
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week
Marshawn Lynch – The Raiders run D is exceptionally weak and Lynch will be ridden to a big day in Oakland. He’s an excellent fantasy sleeper in Week 8.
