Must Start
1. Adrian Peterson vs. Det – All Day runs on everyone. The top fantasy football RB in Week 3.
2. Ray Rice vs. Stl – Rice will top 100 yards with 2 TD’s vs. the Rams.
3. Rashard Mendenhall vs. Indy – Everyone runs on the Colts. Mendenhall will have a field day.
4. LeSean McCoy vs. NYG – Shady McCoy’s been a Giants killer throughout his career.
Next
Chris Johnson vs. Den – Something’s got to give. We think it’ll be the Broncos D.
Maurice Jones Drew vs. Car – The Panthers have holes in their running game and are down multiple players.
LeGarrette Blount vs. Atl – Blount got going in Week 2 with 2 TDs. He’ll find the end zone again in Atlanta.
The Rest
Ben Tate vs. NO – HC Gary Kubiak will try and shorten the game by running the ball. Tate is the No. 1 guy for now.
Beanie Wells vs Sea – The Seahawks haven’t stopped anyone on the ground.
Jahvid Best vs. Min – He’ll be a threat receiving and running. DT Kevin Williams is back so running lanes won’t be as plentiful.
Mike Tolbert vs. KC – The Chiefs have thrown in the towel. Expect Tolbert to find the end zone twice.
Michael Turner vs. TB – Expect the Falcons to feed Turner the ball 20+ times.
DeAngelo Williams vs. JAX – This is the week Williams gets untracked. The Jags D is soft.
Peyton Hillis vs. Mia – The Dolphins D lacks confidence and is vulnerable to the run.
Darren McFadden vs. NYJ – McFadden is developing into a star. The Jets can be run on.
Benjarvus Green Ellis vs. Buf – He’ll find the end zone in what should be a high scoring affair.
Fred Jackson vs. NE – Expect plenty of running room against a Pats D still coming together.
Willis McGahee vs. Ten – The Broncos will run the ball in Tennessee.
Frank Gore vs. Cin – The Bengals just allowed McGahee to break the century mark. Gore will get going this week.
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Phi – The Eagles run D is suspect. Bradshaw will be a factor running and receiving in Philly.
Fantasy Sleeper
Daniel Thomas vs. Cle – He topped 100 yards vs. the Texans and looks good right back as a fantasy sleeper against a middle of the road Browns D.
