Keep in mind that Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Tampa Bay have a bye.

1. Chris Johnson: CJ should dominate Denver at home.

2. Maurice Jones-Drew: 263 total yards and three TDs vs. Indy last year.

3. Arian Foster: Favorable matchup against Oakland.

4. Frank Gore: Will new OC get things going for San Fran offense?

6. Pierre Thomas: 81 yards and a score against Carolina last year.

7. LeSean McCoy: 101 total yards vs. Skins at home last year. 

8. Rashard Mendenhall: Tough draw against Baltimore.

9. Cedric Benson: Strong play against Cleveland.

10. Darren McFadden: Run DMC continues to shed the bust label vs. HOU.

13. DeAngelo Williams: 149 yards and two TDs last time he played Saints.

14. Clinton Portis: McNabb will need his new friends to beat his old ones.

26. Ricky Williams: Fins will try to control clock to keep Brady watching.

27.  John Kuhn: Good chance to score vs. Detroit.

28. Marshawn Lynch: Top choice of an ugly three-headed RB set.
