Must Starts
1. Chris Johnson - The Broncos come to town and will leave with their heads spinning. Johnson will top 150 yards and 2 TDs and is the top ranked fantasy football RB on Sunday.
2. Arian Foster - Houston will lean on the run heavily against the Raiders who are better at stopping the pass. Expect another 100 yard game with a TD.
3. Michael Turner - The Niners showed signs of regression in the front seven and the Chiefs ran all over San Francisco in Week 3. Look for Turner to receive the ball between 20-25 times and have a big game.
4. Ronnie Brown - The Dolphins will place an emphasis on the running game against New England and Brown always kills the Patriots. Anyone remember the 5 TD performance of 2008?
Next In Line
Frank Gore – He’s been more of a receiving threat than rushing threat thus far but all that matters are the fantasy points. His number will be called plenty in Atlanta.
Ladainian Tomlinson – Tomlinson has been the Jets best back and could be in line for a heavy workload if Shonn Greene’s injury keeps him limited vs. the Bills. Expect a 100 yards and a multiple TD day.
LeSean McCoy - “Donovan McNabb week” will see McCoy top 100 yards with a TD as the Skins have been vulnerable against the run.
Rounding Out the List
Ahmad Bradshaw - If the Giants get the lead, expect Bradshaw to top the century mark and find the end zone for the 3rd time this season.
Maurice Jones-Drew – The lack of Jaguars passing game has minimized MJD’s effectiveness, but he always does well vs. the Colts.
DeAngelo Williams - Some of his biggest games have come against the Saints and HC John Fox will want to shorten the game by using the run.
Cedric Benson - The Bengals passing game has been horrid and Benson should see a larger workload because of this. Look for a strong effort against the Browns.
Justin Forsett - Seattle will run the ball away from home and Forsett will find the end zone.
Rashard Mendenhall – The Ravens are very tough to run on unless your name is RB Peyton Hills apparently. But Mendenhall is coming into his own and will post solid all around numbers with a TD.
Pierre Thomas - The Saints should have a pretty good lead which will mean more running opportunities for Thomas in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
Ryan Mathews - Provided he’s healthy, the Chargers will look to feed him the ball against Arizona. If he’s out, go with Tolbert.
Peyton Hillis - Did you see what he did against the Ravens? 144 yards and a TD. The Bengals are good, but much better at stopping the run. Look for another 100 yard game with a TD.
Sleeper of The Week
BenJarvus Green-Ellis - The Patriots new No. 1 for now had a strong game against the Bills last Sunday. The Dolphins have historically given Tom Brady problems and Green-Ellis could see his number dialed 20 times this Monday Night. He’s an excellent fantasy sleeper because of this and a 100 yard candidate.
