Fantasy Football Week 2 Rankings: Worst RB Plays

John RozumSep 16, 2011

For those that are in a conundrum about who to start and who to sit in Week 2, allow this help guide you in making a satisfactory decision.

As we all are accustomed to knowing, not every player on our teams perform at a high level every single week.

And that's expected because it's the NFL and everyone is good.

Therefore, here are three RBs that should take a seat.

3. Shonn Greene, New York Jets

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys defense has significantly improved in the front seven and held the Jets to a collective 45 rushing yards.

But, for as good as their offensive line is suppose to be, Greene has been under-performing since he's been in the starting role.

And this week he's goes up against a Jacksonville defense that totally blanked Titans' RB Chris Johnson to only 49 total yards—24 of the total yardage was rushing and 25 was receiving.

If you have Greene, do your best to find a replacement.

2. Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills

Although Jackson ran for 112 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, it's going to be a whole different story against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2.

If there's one thing the Raiders can do on defense it's stop the run, as they did against Denver on Monday, holding the Broncos to a combined 38 rush yards.

And even though Denver is a pass-oriented offense, the RBs didn't have much success receiving the ball either.

Just don't be surprised if Jackson gets limited at home, as the Raiders are really out to prove they can win outside the AFC West.

1. DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers

Don't be fooled by the elite play of rookie QB Cam Newton and think that he's the reason why the Cardinals held Williams to just 30 yards on 12 carries.

He's been on the decline since after the 2008 season, and although 2011 has much more promise than 2010, it won't show in Week 2.

Why? It's because the Green Bay Packers come by for a visit and they have arguably the best defense in pro football.

Sure they are aware of Newton's Week 1 sweetness, but the cheese will adjust, and their front-seven will dominate the line of scrimmage.

If any Carolina RB does anything, it'll be Jonathan Stewart catching the rock out of the backfield, but that's it.
