Week 7 Start 'Em: Arian Foster and 2 Other Must-Start Running Backs

Patrick ClarkeOct 20, 2011

There are several talented running backs who have favorable match-ups in Week 7.

Most are obvious, of course, but others aren't quite so easy to spot.

Here are three backs who have excellent match-ups and just enough talent to break out this week, making them guys that you must start on your fantasy roster.

Don't sleep on these gems:

Arian Foster (Houston Texans)

Foster has been limited in 2011 because of a hamstring injury, but expect him and the Texans' big offensive line to be motivated heading into their Week 7 matchup with division rival Tennessee.

A 100-plus yard game isn't out of the question. The Titans only rank 10th against the run this season, allowing just over 105 yards on the ground per contest.

James Starks (Green Bay Packers)

The Vikings only allow slightly over 83 rushing yards per game, but this week against Green Bay they will be so consumed by Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' passing attack that they will be sure to give up plenty of yards and maybe even a few scores from Starks and the Pack's backfield.

Shonn Greene (New York Jets)

The Jets will look to get a streak going this Sunday at home against the San Diego Chargers, who are mediocre at best against the run.

The Bolts allow more than 113 rushing yards per game on average this season, and Greene will get most of the carries for New York.
