Injuries have limited a number of star players so far this year.
More than a few are out for the season, but not all of them.
Here are three stars set to break out this week.
Frank Gore, RB, 49ers
The superstar running back has been less than stellar this year while battling injury.
He's averaging less than three yards per carry and hasn't been much of a factor out of the backfield.
His status for Week 4 was up in the air earlier this week, but he is expected to make the start against the Eagles on Sunday.
Philadelphia is one of the league's worst rush defenses and exactly what Gore needs to get on track.
San Francisco's offense has been far from good this year, and the Eagles should see a heavy dose of Gore with a splash of Kendall Hunter as well.
Compared to his earlier performances, Frank Gore is set for a breakout week.
Steven Jackson, RB, Rams
Jackson burst out of the gates this season against the Eagles defense before pulling up lame with a quad injury.
He returned last week in very limited fashion against the stingy Baltimore Ravens' defense last week, but will factor in much more this week against the Redskins.
Washington has been solid so far this defensively, but not a dominating force that is to be feared.
SJax will be used in the backfield and in the passing game. He may catch a breather for every other series, but he's set to break out this season once and for all.
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants
The New York Giants found their running game last week against the Eagles, and things should only continue to get better from here on out.
While Bradshaw has seen majority of the carries so far this season he wasn't a dominant force until last week and a lot of that came courtesy of his play out of the backfield.
This week the Giants play the Cardinals and we can expect even more big things from the relentless running back.
He started his break out last week, and he'll finish it this week.
