Point Projection: 18 points



7.  Marion Barber (Dallas Cowboys) at Arizona


Marion Barber is a man beast but he is coming off of two fairly quiet weeks, by his standards. We don't expect a third in a row, so there is no way I see Barber playing against the Arizona Cardinals and not putting up at least one TD and 110 combined yards. That makes him a must-start in all fantasy football league formats.

Point Projection: 17 points



8. Ronnie Brown (Miami Dolphins) at Houston 


Two short games ago people, including us, were questioning whether or not Ronnie Brown would make it back to a starting RB status. Well, Brown has answered, and the answer is a resounding yes!

After his great week three performance, in which he totaled four TDs, he came back last week against the San Diego Chargers and ran for 125 rushing yards and a TD. Things will not get any harder against the Houston Texans this week, making him a must-start in all fantasy football league formats. 

Point Projection: 17 points



9. Frank Gore (San Francisco 49ers) vs. Philadelphia

Even after back-to-back disappointing weeks in weeks four and five, Frank Gore still has managed to hit double-digit points in every single week this season! Clinton Portis tore up the Philadelphia Eagles last week and we expect much of the same from Gore this week. He is a must-start in all fantasy football league formats.

Point Projection: 17 points



10. Matt Forte (Chicago Bears) at Atlanta 

Even though he was limited in yardage against the Detroit Lions last week, he still managed to put together a pair of TDs. This kid is not the most talented in the world, but what he does have is an opportunity to play and he is making the best of it.

Against this weak Atlanta Falcons rush defense, expect to see another solid week! He is a must-start in all fantasy football league formats.

Point Projection: 16 points
