Week 5 Start Em Sit Em: Arian Foster and the 3 RBs You Must Start

That's the Arian Foster we're used to seeing. 

The Houston Texans running back exploded against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday—will that continue this week against the Oakland Raiders?

Here are the running backs you must start in Week 5...

Arian Foster 

It looks like the hamstring injury is behind him, and if he's 100 percent, Foster's fantasy stock is back to where we expected it to be. 

The Raiders run defense is 29th in the league, allowing 136 yards per game. 

Andre Johnson is out, so Houston will lean on their All-Pro runner to carry the offense against a weak Raiders defense. 

Back in his rightful place as a starter on your team. 

Fred Jackson 

Jackson started the year as an underrated, underappreciated back.

Now, everyone agrees that he's one of the most versatile runners in the league. 

Philadelphia has been gashed by opposing running backs and with Buffalo's passing game coming back to Earth a bit against the Bengals expect the Bills to get the ball to Jackson often. 

LeSean McCoy

Yes, I expect a shootout in Buffalo this week. 

The Eagles will be without Jason Peters for this one and their offensive line was already the weak link of the offense.

Because of that, Philly will utilize their shifty runner on a variety of screens and will give him a good amount of carries to wear down Buffalo's 25th-ranked rushing defense. 

A great running back battle in Western New York this weekend.
