Must Start
1. Adrian Peterson vs. Chi – All Day dominates at Soldier Field. He’s the top ranked fantasy football RB once again.
2. Darren McFadden vs. Cle – Look for McFadden to easily top 100 yards with a long TD vs. the Browns.
3. Ray Rice vs. Hou – The loss of LB Mario Williams is a big blow to the Texans’ D.
4. LeSean McCoy vs. Was – He might be more of a factor as a receiver on Sunday but a significant factor none the less.
Next
Arian Foster vs. Bal – Expect Foster to touch the ball 25 + times gainst the Ravens.
Fred Jackson vs. NYG – The Giants D allows one long run each week it seems.
Peyton Hillis vs. Oak – The Browns will look to neutralize the hostile crowd by feeding Hillis the ball early on.
The Rest
LeGarrette Blount vs. NO – He’ll look to get untracked against a Saints team vulnerable to the long run.
Ryan Torain vs. Phi – The Birds are horrific stopping the run. If Hightower is back, he’s a good start. Otherwise, expect Torain to pound the rock all Sunday.
DeAngelo Williams vs. Atl – Williams is beginning to regain his form from a few years ago. Newton’s passing ability is taking pressure off the running game.
Matt Forte vs. Min – Forte is a dual threat who will find more success through the air against the Vikings.
BenJarus Green Ellis – The Pats relied on him heavily against the Jets and he delivered. He should find similar success against the Cowboys run D.
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Buf – The Giants O-Line is a mess, but Bradshaw could be a big factor in this week’s passing game too.
Cedric Benson vs. Indy – The Colts can’t stop ANYONE on the ground. The Chiefs 4th string RB topped 100 yards on Sunday.
Michael Turner vs. Car – The Falcons will make a concerted effort to re-establish the run vs. the Panthers.
Steven Jackson vs. GB – He should see the ball 25+ times in Lambeau.
Frank Gore vs. Det – He’s running well but this is a tough test. Expect between 60-70 yards with a TD.
Felix Jones vs. NE – This Pats D is one of the worst under Belichick.
Fantasy Sleeper
Darren Sproles vs. TB – The Bucs were just annihilated in San Francisco and run all over by a good – not great – 49ers team. The Saints are using Sproles heavily and he’s a strong fantasy sleeper in Week 6.
