Inside the numbers:
- Mojo remained on fire, posting his sixth straight 100-plus yard day. He faces the Colts this week, who he has averaged 128.2 total yards with 11 touchdowns in nine career games against.
- Run DMC has 336 total yards and four touchdowns in his past two games. He should destroy Denver, a team he had 196 total yards and four touchdowns against earlier this season.
- Michael Turner quietly has six touchdowns in his past four games and ten touchdowns in his past seven games. Good luck Seattle.
- Peyton Hillis has lost five fumbles this year, a stat that keeps him out of the top five ranking this week.
- With the Vikings in complete disarray, it’s hard to consider Adrian Peterson a RB1 against a Bears team that is coming off an embarrassing defeat.
- LeGarrette Blount did not meet expectations against Washington, but should bounce back against Detroit.
- Felix Jones, Tim Hightower, and Jonathan Stewart should continue to produce while Thomas Jones and LaDainian Tomlinson continue to slide.
- Ronnie Brown actually makes a RB2 option this week against Buffalo, who is allowing 165.8 yards per game on the ground.
