Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings: RBs Who Will Trample Opponents This Week

Early in the season we saw teams gashing defenses across the league with high-flying aerial attacks like we have never seen before.

In recent weeks it has slowed down tremendously, and now teams are beginning to commit more to running the football.

That will be the case as we edge closer and closer to the playoffs.

Here are three running backs who will absolutely crush their opponents this weekend.

Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons)

After a concerning 2-3 start to the season, the Falcons are now on a three-game winning streak putting them back in the race for the NFC South.

This weekend they face off against the New Orleans Saints, who will be their primary opponents for the division coming down the stretch.

This season, when Michael Turner gets at least 20 touches per game the Falcons are 5-0. When he gets less than 20 touches they are 0-3.

Turner will need to get those touches this weekend. The Saints allow a league worst 5.3 yards per carry on the ground.

Frank Gore (San Francisco 49ers)

There are many proclaiming that the San Francisco 49ers are the worst 7-1 team in the history of the NFL.

This weekend those 49ers will take the field and look to make a statement against the 6-2 New York Giants.

The Giants have been impressive all year, but they have struggled running the ball and stopping the run.

The 49ers are going to run the ball often with Gore, who has five straight 100-yard rushing games after a slow start to the season.

That will be six straight after Sunday.

Matt Forte (Chicago Bears)

They say one man doesn't make a football team. I tell whoever says that to look at Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.

Matt Forte may not be the whole team in Chicago, but he is about 80 percent of it.

Forte leads the team in rushing and receptions. He has almost single-handedly carried the Bears to a 5-3 record.

Last week he carved apart the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

This weekend the Bears take on Detroit Lions, who have struggled against the run this season much like the Eagles.

They run a nine-wide defensive scheme much like the Eagles.

Matt Forte will run over them much like he did to the Eagles.
