Must Start
Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte
Tier 1
Le’veon Bell vs. Bal – Looks poised to take a huge step forward this year. Will play big on TNF.
Arian Foster vs. Oak – He’ll have a lot of room to work with this week. 100 yards and 2 TDs.
DeMarco Murray vs. Ten – Murray has a massive OL to run behind. He’ll top 100 again.
Marshawn Lynch vs. SD – The bruising back is running behind a healthy OL.
Montee Ball vs. KC – The Chiefs D is depleted.
Alfred Morris vs. Jax – The Skins will wear this unit down on the ground.
Knowshon Moreno vs. Buf – He’ll top 100 yards and a TD.
Shane Vereen vs. Min – The Patriots plan to utilize him heavily.
Frank Gore vs. Chi – The 49ers will get back to pounding the ball vs. the Bears.
Giovani Bernard vs. Atl – The Bengals will use their all purpose back all afternoon.
Khiry Robinson vs. Cle – New Orleans is committed to the run this year.
Rashad Jennings vs. Arz – Jennings will top 80 yards with a score.
Tier 2
Trent Richardson vs. Phi – The Eagles D is vulnerable. Solid as a receiver out of the backfield.
Darren Sproles vs. Ind – Chip Kelly will keep him involved as a runner and 3rd down receiver.
Chris Johnson vs. GB – The Packers smaller front 7 is an area New York will attack. Expect Johnson’s role to increase as the year goes on.
Reggie Bush vs. Car – The Lions will use him as a receiver predominantly here.
Andre Ellington vs. NYG - He’s a No. 2 this week and has a banged up foot.
CJ Spiller vs. Mia – He’s not much more than a flex at this stage.
Bernard Pierce vs. Pit – He’ll be the featured back again this week. More of a flex / high No. 2.
DeAngelo Williams vs. Det – Newton’s return will benefit Williams, but Lions are stout in the middle.
Bust
Zac Stacy vs. TB – The Rams have no threat of a passing game which impacts everything.
Fantasy Sleeper
Toby Gerhart vs. Was – The Skins once again have a porous D.
