5. Michael Turner vs. Carolina: The Panthers are allowing 135.2 rushing yards per game.
6. Arian Foster at Baltimore: Tough match-up, but Foster is a monster.
7. Matt Forte vs. Minnesota: Even if you slow his running game, he does his damage in the passing game.

8. Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Buffalo: The Bills are allowing 138.4 rushing yards per game.
9. Fred Jackson vs. New York Giants: He is averaging 142.4 total yards per game. The Giants are giving up 122.2 yards per game.
10. Jahvid Best vs. San Francisco: The Niners are giving up just 76.4 yards per game on the ground, but Best is playing at a ridiculous level.
11. Shonn Greene vs. Miami: The Jets finally got the power running game going vs. Patriots.
12. Peyton Hillis at Oakland: Hillis is averaging 91 total yards per game. The Raiders are allowing 122.8 yards per game.
13. Rashard Mendenhall vs. Jacksonville: Should he be healed and ready

14. Frank Gore at Detroit: Gore has gone for 127 and 12 yards the past two weeks. It will be a tougher test vs. Detroit, but he’s running great.
15. Ryan Torain vs. Philadelphia: We don’t know how the running game will play out, but Torain is the favorite to torch Philly’s awful run defense.
16. Maurice Jones-Drew at Pittsburgh: The Steelers are fired up. They will stuff the box on Mojo and make Gabbert beat them.
17. BenJarvus Green-Ellis: The Pats have been more run heavy with The Firm averaging 105.5 yards the past two weeks with three TDs.
18. Steven Jackson at Green Bay: The Packers are tough against the run, but S-Jax can be active in the passing game.
19. Felix Jones at New England: The bye week should help his shoulder heal. The Pats will miss Mayo in this one.

20. Cedric Benson vs Indianapolis: His suspension still looms. If he plays, he’s a solid bet against a Colts team giving up 145.2 YPG.
21. DeAngelo Williams at Atlanta: D-Will is averaging nearly 100 yards at 10.4 YPC the past two games. J-Stew’s presence keeps him from a higher ranking.
22. James Starks vs. St. Louis: With the exception of Week 3, Starks has been the more effective back in GB. The Rams are allowing 179.8 YPG on the ground.
23. Darren Sproles at Tampa Bay: Sproles is averaging 89.8 total yards per game.
24. Mark Ingram at Tampa Bay: Ingram isn’t getting a ton of looks, but has scored in two of the last three games. He could get a lot of touches in mop-up duty.
25. Ryan Grant vs. St. Louis: The Rams are bad enough against the run that both Packer RBs should be productive.
26. Delone Carter at Cincinnati: He will share the load with Donald Brown, but he is the one more likely to get the ball at the stripe.
27. Daniel Thomas at New York Jets: The Jets will relish playing the bully this week after losing to the Pats. It will be tough sledding for Thomas.
28. Jonathan Stewart at Atlanta: He was quiet last week, but is capable of breaking a long one and he is active in the passing game.
29. Tim Hightower vs. Philadelphia: He may have lost the starter role, but he should still get his touches.
30. Brandon Jacobs vs. Buffalo: If his knee is good to go, he has some value. I’d probably go another direction though.
