Fantasy Football Rankings Week 11: Top Explosive RBs to Hitch Your Wagon To

Running back is easily the most integral position on a fantasy football team, so players like Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy and Ray Rice are going to be huge plays for Week 11 of the 2011 NFL season.

Not only are they big games on the field, but many fantasy owners are facing some big-time games with playoff implications.

'Tis the season for playoff talk, and everybody's trying to get their team in the mix.

Here's a ranking of which running backs will be the best in Week 11:

Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings

Peterson is simply the Vikings' best hope at scoring, thus he's the only hope they have for winning their matchup with the Oakland Raiders.

The Vikings need to give Peterson the ball 25-30 times to win this game, so at the very least he should get a ton of production.

That being said, the Raiders are giving up an average of 132.4 yards on the ground per game and 5.1 yards per carry.

Looks like a good day is in store for Peterson.

LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles

For all of their flaws, the Eagles find a way to run the ball very well. 

McCoy is having a great season so far with 906 yards and 10 touchdowns. I expect he should be able to capitalize on a Giants defense that is giving up 121.6 yards per game on the ground.

The Eagles have a tendency to play big when the lights are on them, and Sunday Night Football is a pretty big spotlight.

The last time these teams met up he rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown, so expect more of the same.

DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys

Many people questioned whether Murray was legitimate after he busted off a 25-carry 253-yard and 1-touchdown performance against the St. Louis Rams.

Since then he has run for 79, 139 and 135, so it's safe to think he is the real deal.

He's got a very favorable matchup against the Redskins, who are giving up an average of 120.4 yards on the ground per game.

The Cowboys need a big win, and Murray is becoming a big-time player.
