NFL Playoffs 2012 Divisional Round Fantasy Running Back Rankings
Here are the Lester’s Legends running back rankings for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
1. Arian Foster @ Baltimore Ravens: This is going to be a physical battle. Arian Foster is the best back remaining and he can produce running and catching the ball.
2. Ray Rice vs. Houston Texans: Rice is a special back as well. He can get a ton of total yards and has a good nose for the end zone. This game is going to be all about running the ball and defense.

3. Darren Sproles @ San Francisco 49ers: Sproles is the perfect fit for the Saints offense and it shows each and every week. He’s too quick and powerful to be contained.
4. Frank Gore vs. New Orleans Saints: The Niners are going to have to use ball control to slow the Saints. At the end of the day, Alex Smith will have to make some throws, but the Niners will try to rely on Gore and the defense.
5. Ahmad Bradshaw @ Green Bay Packers: Brandon Jacobs was the guy last week. This week they’ll need Bradshaw’s more upbeat style.
6. Willis McGahee @ New England Patriots: He was barely used last time. The Pats’ offense could easily make that the case again this week.
7. Ryan Grant vs. New York Giants: The Pack will look for a balanced attack to keep the G-Men honest. Grant closed the season strong averaging 101.3 total yards in his last four games.
8. Brandon Jacobs @ Green Bay Packers: He was solid in the first meeting with eight carries for 59 yards and a score. Bradshaw will be the feature back, but Jacobs will definitely play a big role.
9. Stevan Ridley vs. Denver Broncos: Averaged 70 yards in his last three games. The Patriots back most likely to succeed.
10. Pierre Thomas @ San Francisco 49ers: Hard to roll with a backup RB, especially against a team that doesn’t give up many rushing TDs (three on the year).
11. BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs. Denver Broncos: It’s always a tough call to know which Patriots RB will have the best game. The Firm is a risky option.
12. Ben Tate @ Baltimore Ravens: Definitely second fiddle to Foster, but he is very capable of breaking a big play.
13. Kendall Hunter vs. New Orleans Saints: Gore had time to rest. Hunter will only spell him provide Gore stays healthy.
14. James Starks vs. New York Giants: He hasn’t played since Christmas so he’s a risk.
