3. Adrian Peterson vs. Arizona: Chiefs kept him out of the end zone, but he should get to it at home.
4. Darren McFadden at Houston: Didn’t have his typical monster game, but still managed 123 total yards.
5. Matt Forte at Detroit: Dude is averaging 158.5 total yards per game. If he could score more it would really be Marshall Faulk-like.
6. Fred Jackson vs. Philadelphia: Averaging 129.1 total yards. Facing an Eagles team giving up 139.5 YPG.
7. Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Cincinnati: The Bengals have been doing a good job against the run, but Mojo is averaging 114.6 total yards per game.
8. Ryan Mathews at Denver: Continues to shine averaging 135.5 total yards per game.
9. Michael Turner vs. Green Bay: Packers have been good against the run, partly because their offense dictates abandoning it. Atlanta can score points to stay in the game.
10. Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Seattle: Averaging 86.8 total yards and 0.75 TDs per game.
11. Frank Gore vs. Tampa Bay: Busted out in a big way against the Eagles last week with 127 yards (139 total) and a score.
12. Chris Johnson at Pittsburgh: Steelers are giving up 4.6 YPC. This is not the unit we’re accustomed to.
13. Cedric Benson at Jacksonville: As long as his suspension is delayed, he should make a nice RB2 play.
14. Joseph Addai vs. Kansas City: Chiefs are giving up 130.0 yards per game.
15. Beanie Wells at Minnesota: Showed his toughness and explosiveness by returning with a trio of scores against the G-Men last week.
16. Jahvid Best vs. Chicago: Averaging 98.8 total yards per game. Bears yielding 124.3 YPG on the ground.
17. Darren Sproles at Carolina: Averaging 89.5 total yards and 0.5 TDs per game. Panthers giving up 143.8 rushing YPG.
18. LeGarrette Blount at San Francisco: Have yet to allow a rushing touchdown.
19. Mike Tolbert at Denver: This feels like a week where both Charger backs go off.
20. Willis McGahee vs. San Diego: Still holding on to that No. 1 spot in Denver. Chargers giving up 4.1 YPC.
21. DeAngelo Williams vs. New Orleans: Finally showing signs of life after running for 82 yards on 10 carries last week.
22. BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs. New York Jets: Belichick will have an unpredictable scheme for the Jets. Stevan Ridley’s emergence clouds things.
23. Shonn Greene at New England Patriots: Jets just can’t establish the run. They’ll have to throw to keep up with Brady.
24. Marshawn Lynch at New York Giants: G-Men giving up 116.5 YPG. Seattle’s offense has been better since Sidney Rice returned.
25. Isaac Redman vs. Tennessee: I’m operating under the assumption that Mendenhall’s hammy will force him out of action.
26. Jonathan Stewart vs. New Orleans: Averaging 91.7 total yard the past three weeks.
27. Dexter McCluster at Indianapolis: His speed could be hard for Indy to handle on the turf.
28. Stevan Ridley vs. New York Jets: Had a big game last week, but I can see Belichick mixing it up.
29. James Starks at Atlanta: 101 total yards last week, but Ryan Grant should return to share load.
30. Brandon Jacobs vs. Seattle: You’ll have to bank on a TD if you play him as he’s averaging just 43.8 total YPG.
