Must Start
1. Adrian Peterson vs. KC – Some things never change.
2. Ray Rice vs. NYJ – Did you see what Oakland did to the Jets on the ground?
3. LeSean McCoy vs. SF – He’s running as well as anyone in the league. He’ll be a force against the Niners.
4. Darren McFadden vs. NE – Provided he’s healthy, he’ll rack up yards and TDs vs. the Pats soft D.
Next
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Arz – The Cardinals D is weak. Bradshaw will pick up yards in both the rushing department and receiving.
LeGarrette Blount vs. Indy – The Bucs will pound the rock all evening. Blount will top 100 yards with a TD.
Michael Turner vs. Sea – This will be a bounce back game for Turner.
The Rest
Maurice Jones-Drew vs. NO – The biggest knock on MJD is the Jags could be playing from behind all afternoon.
Ryan Matthews vs. Mia – The 2nd year back is coming into his own.
Chris Johnson vs. Cle – He’s been a HUGE fantasy football bust thus far. This is a good week to regain his old form.
Peyton Hillis vs. Ten – Forced to miss last week with strep throat, Hillis will be back pounding away vs. the Titans.
Ben Tate vs. Pit – The Texans will want to remain balanced. Expect hard running from Tate.
Fred Jackson vs. Cin – Jackson is really thriving in the Bills offense. Expect it to continue this week.
James Starks vs. Den – Last week was an aberration. Starks will bust out with 75 yards and a score vs. the Broncos.
Steven Jackson vs. Was – The Rams will feed Jackson the rock plenty vs. the Skins.
Tim Hightower vs. Stl – The Rams are shorthanded on the defensive side of the ball. Coach Shanahan will make sure Hightower is active on Sunday.
Jonathan Stewart vs. Chi – He could be more of a factor as a receiver out of the backfield.
Jahvid Best vs. Dal – He’ll put up solid numbers out of the backfield vs. the Cowboys. Strong play in PPR leagues as well.
Matt Forte vs. Car – While the Bears O Line has been subpar, Forte’s remained effective, especially in the passing game.
Felix Jones vs. Det – Check back on his injury status, but if he’s a go, he should be in your lineup.
Daniel Thomas vs. SD – Expect the Dolphins to try and shorten the game by keeping the ball out of the hands of Rivers and Co. Thomas will receive a lot of looks on Sunday.
Frank Gore vs. Phi – If he’s healthy, make sure you start him. The Eagles run D has been atrocious in 2011. If he can’t go, plug his back-up in.
Rashard Mendenhall vs. Hou – His poor offensive line is negatively affecting his stats. Look for 60 yards and possible short yardage TD vs. the Texans.
Fantasy Sleeper
Mark Ingram vs. JAX – He’s been middle of the pack thus far, but this is a good game for a breakout performance. The Saints should have a large lead and that’s why Ingram’s a solid fantasy sleeper in Week 4.

It looks like Arian Foster came back in a big way. If he stays healthy all year he should post some huge numbers in that offense. Felix Jones needs to step up because he has been a big let down this year.

Yes, Foster looked great! If Andre Johnson is out for an extended period of time I think defenses will begin to crowd the box, but it looked as Foster’s hamstring issues are a thing of the past.
Felix Jones just doesn’t impress us. He has great speed but is not tough. And Dallas O-Line is young and inexperienced. He’s always a hit or miss and most valuable in PPR leagues.
