2011 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: NFL Week 6

After another exciting week of football here is the LestersLegends Week 6 fantasy running back rankings:

1.  Ray Rice vs. Houston:  Rice is averaging 134.8 total yards and a touchdown per game.
 

2.  Darren McFadden vs. Cleveland:  Run DMC had a quiet week, but is still averaging 133.6 total yards.
 

3.  LeSean McCoy at Washington:  The Eagles are in trouble, but McCoy is averaging 110.6 total yards with seven touchdowns.
 

4.  Adrian Peterson at Chicago:  He is averaging nearly 100 rushing yards per game with six touchdowns.
 

5.  Michael Turner vs. Carolina:  The Panthers are allowing 135.2 rushing yards per game.
 

6.  Arian Foster at Baltimore:  Tough match-up, but Foster is a monster.
 

7.  Matt Forte vs. Minnesota:  Even if you slow his running game, he does his damage in the passing game.
 

8.  Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Buffalo:  The Bills are allowing 138.4 rushing yards per game.
 

9.  Fred Jackson vs. New York Giants:  He is averaging 142.4 total yards per game. The Giants are giving up 122.2 yards per game.
 

10.  Jahvid Best vs. San Francisco:  The Niners are giving up just 76.4 yards per game on the ground, but Best is playing at a ridiculous level.
 

11.  Shonn Greene vs. Miami:  The Jets finally got the power running game going vs. Patriots.
 

12.  Peyton Hillis at Oakland:  Hillis is averaging 91 total yards per game. The Raiders are allowing 122.8 yards per game.
 

13.  Rashard Mendenhall vs. Jacksonville:  Should he be healed and ready
 

14.  Frank Gore at Detroit:  Gore has gone for 127 and 12 yards the past two weeks. It will be a tougher test vs. Detroit, but he’s running great.
 

15.  Ryan Torain vs. Philadelphia:  We don’t know how the running game will play out, but Torain is the favorite to torch Philly’s awful run defense.
 

16.  Maurice Jones-Drew at Pittsburgh:  The Steelers are fired up. They will stuff the box on Mojo and make Gabbert beat them.
 

17.  BenJarvus Green-Ellis:  The Pats have been more run heavy with The Firm averaging 105.5 yards the past two weeks with three TDs.
 

18.  Steven Jackson at Green Bay:  The Packers are tough against the run, but S-Jax can be active in the passing game.
 

19.  Felix Jones at New England:  The bye week should help his shoulder heal. The Pats will miss Mayo in this one.
 

20. Cedric Benson vs Indianapolis:  His suspension still looms. If he plays, he’s a solid bet against a Colts team giving up 145.2 YPG.
 

21.  DeAngelo Williams at Atlanta: D-Will is averaging nearly 100 yards at 10.4 YPC the past two games. J-Stew’s presence keeps him from a higher ranking.
 

22.  James Starks vs. St. Louis:  With the exception of Week 3, Starks has been the more effective back in GB. The Rams are allowing 179.8 YPG on the ground.
 

23.  Darren Sproles at Tampa Bay: Sproles is averaging 89.8 total yards per game.
 

24.  Mark Ingram at Tampa Bay:  Ingram isn’t getting a ton of looks, but has scored in two of the last three games. He could get a lot of touches in mop-up duty.
 

25.  Ryan Grant vs. St. Louis: The Rams are bad enough against the run that both Packer RBs should be productive.
 

26.  Delone Carter at Cincinnati:  He will share the load with Donald Brown, but he is the one more likely to get the ball at the stripe.
 

27.  Daniel Thomas at New York Jets:  The Jets will relish playing the bully this week after losing to the Pats. It will be tough sledding for Thomas.
 

28.  Jonathan Stewart at Atlanta:  He was quiet last week, but is capable of breaking a long one and he is active in the passing game.
 

29.  Tim Hightower vs. Philadelphia:  He may have lost the starter role, but he should still get his touches.
 

30.  Brandon Jacobs vs. Buffalo:  If his knee is good to go, he has some value. I’d probably go another direction though.
