Fantasy Football Week 6: Felix Jones and Three Running Backs to Start on Sunday

Considering the disappointing seasons from Tennessee's Chris Johnson and St. Louis' Steven Jackson, the running back play has been down this season in the NFL.

Oakland's Darren McFadden leads all back with 519 yards rushing, while Adrian Peterson and Buffalo's Fred Jackson are a close second and third, respectively.

Still, fantasy football success demands you possess a quality player at running back.

Here are three backs who you should look to start in Week 6.

Felix Jones

The Dallas Cowboys leading rusher Felix Jones will take his game on the road this weekend to face the tormented New England Patriots defense, ranked 13th against the run.

The Pats' pass defense is the worst in the league, giving up more than 326 yards through the air on average, and will give Tony Romo plenty of opportunities, in turn opening up the field for Jones.

James Starks/Ryan Grant

It might not be a bad idea to start either of the Green Bay Packers running backs this week. After all, they are facing off against the 31st ranked St. Louis rushing defense.

The Rams allow more than five yards per carry on average this season, and will surely give way to some big ground gains from Starks and Grant.

Ahmad Bradshaw

The New York Giants' bruising back will be matched against the NFL's 29th ranked rushing defense in the Buffalo Bills.

Bradshaw is averaging four yards per carry in 2011 and is due for some red zone touchdowns this week.
