Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: Ray Rice and Top RBs Who Will Shine

One dominant performance from one of your running backs can be the difference between winning and losing your fantasy matchup.

If you have Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice in Week 7, you're in luck.

Rice has scored at least 15 fantasy points in every game he's been on the field this season. He's a threat both in the air and on the ground.

Here are three of the top running backs for Week 7 of the NFL season.

3. Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans

Nothing this season suggests Chris Johnson will have a big fantasy performance against the Houston Texans in Week 7.

But this is Chris Johnson. He hasn't just lost all of his ability on the football field. It's only a matter of time before Johnson breaks out and he has a good chance against a reeling Texans team that is allowing 4.6 yards per carry.

Don't be surprised if Johnson breaks out of his slump this week.

2. Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons

Michael Turner continues to be the workhorse he's always been for the Atlanta Falcons. He's scored the seventh-most fantasy points among running backs and he's coming off a 139-yard, two-TD performance against the Carolina Panthers.

What's more, he faces the Detroit Lions in Week 7, who give up 5.2 yards per carry (second-worst in the NFL) and just allowed San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore to rush for 141 yards and a touchdown.

Start Turner at all costs.

1. Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens

Ray Rice has always been so devastating to opponents because he can hurt you in so many ways. He's also one of the most consistent running backs in football this season.

On top of that, the Ravens are matched up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They should get off to a big lead and use Rice to run out the clock the rest of the way while the Jaguars offense continues to go three-and-out.
