1. Arian Foster vs. GB – The Texans will ride Foster and wear out the smaller Packers D. Expect 100+ yards and 2 TDs.
2. LeSean McCoy vs. Det – McCoy will gash the undisciplined Lions’ defense for over 100 yards and a few TDs.
3. Jamaal Charles vs. TB – Charles has been on a tear lately. It’ll continue this week.
4. Adrian Peterson vs. Was – The Skins are still struggling stopping the run on defense. Peterson returns to the site of his gruesome injury and will run with a purpose.
Next
Ray Rice vs. Dal – He’s a threat receiving or running, and will top total 100 yards with a TD vs the Boys. Expect good numbers in a PPR league.
Marshawn Lynch vs. NE – The Seahawks will run Lynch 25+ times vs. an improving Pats’ D.
Ryan Mathews vs. Den – Mathews responded with a bang vs. the Saints and will be featured again on Monday Night. Expect 100 yards plus a TD.
The Rest
Trent Richardson vs. Cin – The rookie crushed Cincy that last time these teams yet. Look for solid number again.
Frank Gore vs. NYG – The Giants have had issues stopping the run the past few weeks.
Alfred Morris vs. Min – Expect an even heavier reliance on the rookie RB if RGIII is unable to go or is limited.
Steven Ridley vs. Sea – The Seahawks are a difficult team to run on so look for the Pats to spread the defense out when they have Ridley run.
Willis McGahee vs. SD – McGahee will rebound from his poor showing in NE to top 100 yards with a TD vs. San Diego.
Reggie Bush vs. Stl – The Rams are tough, but Bush will break a long one this week.
CJ Spiller vs. Arz – Not an easy D to run on, but Spiller’s speed will be effective running the ball and as a receiver out of the backfield.
Michael Turner vs. Oak – Turner’s on a roll and faces a Raiders D that hadn’t stopped much prior to the bye week.
Steven Jackson vs. Mia – Expect the Rams to pound the rock with Jackson all afternoon. 75 yards and a TD.
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. SF – He’s coming off a 200 yard effort and won’t find things so easy this week against a stout 49ers D. But expect 60-70 yards on the ground and him to be a factor in the passing game.
Darren McFadden vs. Atl – Atlanta’s run D is very weak. McFadden might break a long one on Sunday afternoon.
Benjarvus Green-Ellis vs. Cle – The Browns were destroyed on the ground vs. NYG. Look for him to top 100 yards.
Doug Martin vs. KC – Look for Schiano to get back to basics and feed Martin the ball 20 times.
Demarco Murray vs. Bal – It’s difficult to trust him behind that O Line, but he’ll be used as a receiver this week too.
Rashard Mendenhall vs. Ten – The Titans D has been like swiss cheese this year.
Chris Johnson vs. Pit – His chances of performing increased greatly when S Troy Polamalu was ruled out. He’s a solid flex play because he’s always one play away from breaking a long one.
