NFL Week 10 Predictions: Projecting the Week's Top RB Performances

Running backs have remained a very integral part of our fantasy teams, despite all the passing in the NFL today. 

Who are Week 10's best fantasy runners?

Arian Foster 

Both Foster and Ben Tate racked up over 100 yards last week against the Cleveland Browns, but Foster is unquestionably the feature back in Houston. 

The Texans face the Buccaneers this week, who currently have the 25th ranked run defense that's allowing nearly five yards per rush this season. 

Andre Johnson could play, but it's likely that the coaching staff will bring their star receiver along slowly, leading to more touches for Foster. 

Matt Forte 

Forget his two-fumble night against Philadelphia. The Bears won and Forte had 133 yards rushing. He's the heartbeat of this team and even though Jay Cutler has improved due to better offensive line protection, Forte will still get between 25 and 30 touches a game. 

Why should they chance anything? They've won four of their last five and Forte has been magnificent in every game.

Maurice Jones-Drew 

There may be some more obvious fantasy running backs to choose from in Week 10, but coming off the bye against the Colts, I envision MJD having a monstrous day. Although the Colts are allowing just a shade over four yards per carry, teams have worn down their defense with the run all season.

Indianapolis' per game average of 146.1 rushing yards allowed ranks them 31st in the NFL.

I could see Jones-Drew nearing 30 carries in this contest and you know he'll be featured in the screen/check-down game.

I don't see MJD having anymore issues holding onto the football, either. 

He's over that.
