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.
