Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Ray Rice and the Top 3 RBs for This Week

Unless you were incredibly lucky in your draft, you play with monkeys, or you're in a six-team league, this article won't give you any assistance in making your fantasy lineup this week.

This is, however, a guide for creating a team in a salary cap league where you can pick whoever you want.

3. Adrian Peterson

Peterson came through with a decent performance last week, raking up 176 yards to go along with three scores. Still though, because of Minnesota's lack of ability throwing the ball, AP is somewhat hit-or-miss every week as a stud.

But did you see the holes Jahvid Best was running through Monday night against the Bears?

Oh my.

If the Bears, a once fearful defense, put up a similar effort, AP could easily hit 200 yards. I don't think it will quite get to that since the Bears are back at home, but Peterson should still have a nice day.

2. Matt Forte

Through the first three weeks, Forte was valuable because of his contributions in the passing game. In the last two weeks, he has established himself as a top-of-the-line runner. 

This week, it will be back to the air.

Minnesota is especially talented at getting the quarterback and the Chicago line is especially not talented at protecting the quarterback. Put two and two together and you have Jay Cutler in the pocket with very limited time.

That means a lot of short passes. The biggest beneficiaries will likely be underneath guy Dane Sanzenbacher and Matt Forte. Expect Forte, who has accounted for about 50 percent of Chicago's offense, to get 10 to 12 targets.

When he does run the ball, it will likely be on draws and delays to try and get behind that Minnesota defensive line. Chicago has proven to be pretty good at those types of runs. It will be a big day for Forte.

And then maybe he can just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay. He just may. What do ya say?

1. Ray Rice

Houston is giving up 4.8 yards per carry, Mario Williams leaves a big hole in that defense and Ray Rice catches tons of passes on top of his terrific running ability.

What isn't there to like here?

Baltimore should get up early and turn to a heavy dose of Rice. Sit back and enjoy.
