Must Start
Le’veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, Marshawn Lynch, Eddie Lacy, LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray*
Tier 1
Arian Foster vs. Bal – The prospect of facing a tough D and having to do so with a 3rd stringer behind center moves Foster down a notch.
CJ Anderson vs. Cin – The threat of Manning throwing has opened everything up or Anderson.
Joique Bell vs. Chi – The Bears run D is a sieve.
Jeremy Hill vs. Den – Hill’s a load and the Broncos will find this out Sunday.
Fred Jackson vs. Oak – Expect Buffalo to make Jackson a large part of the game plan.
Mark Ingram vs. Atl – The Saints ground game has gotten off track in recent week. Atl is a good place to get back on track.
Tier 2
Justin Forsett vs. Hou – Don’t expect a trip to the end zone but he’ll pick up 100 total yards.
Alfred Morris vs. Phi – Morris will top 80 yards with a TD.
Daniel Herron vs. Dal – Expect Herron to be involved in the passing game.
Latavius Murray vs. Buf – The Bills have shown vulnerability against the run recently.
Lamar Miller vs. Min – Miller is a solid No. 2 against the 23rd ranked rush D.
Jonathan Stewart vs. Cle – The Browns are missing key defenders that are crucial against stopping the run.
Steven Jackson vs. NO – The old man is still a threat and has a solid matchup here.
Bust
Ryan Mathews vs. SF – The 49ers are beat up but still field a formidable run D.
Fantasy Sleeper
Matt Asiata vs. Mia – The Dolphins don’t stop the run well. Asiata is a big fantasy sleeper on championship weekend.
