He has three total TD's while topping over 100 rushing yards during each of the past two games. Pittsburgh was one of the best rush defenses this year so don't be surprised if Sproles doesn't do as well as projected.
But the writing is on the wall to where if Tomlinson does miss this week Sproles will be able to fill in nicely. Believe us, the Chargers will need him to.

6. Willie Parker (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs. San Diego
Although Willie Parker struggled with injuries most of the year he did finish the season off on a bright note having been able to rush 19 and 23 times in back-to-back games while going for 116 yards and 1 TD in his final week of the season.
The good news for him is that he should be able to keep it up as San Diego is just a slightly above-average rush defense minus Shawne Merriman. This could be another one of those games that an elite team tries to win through tough defense and rushing.
Point Projection: 10 points

7. Chris Johnson (Tennessee Titans) vs. Baltimore
What a rookie campaign this kid had! He went for a total of 10 TD's and 1,468 yards during the season. He did face the Ravens once this year rushing 18 times for a total of 2.4 yards per carry and zero TD's in Week Five.
Don't let that scare you off as playoff football is a little different than regular season as the Titans will be relying to keep the clock moving while rushing the ball a ton. Johnson should have a solid game this week, complementing his already impressive NFL debut.
Point Projection: 10 points
