Fantasy RB Studs - Week 7

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:46:37 -0500

Here are five running backs that I expect to have a big week:

DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Panthers: Last week was like 2008 for this running back tandem. Each back had their breakout performance of the season and combined for 262 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 47 carries. What's different about this week? They face an even worse rushing defense. The Bills rank 32nd in the league against the run and have allowed four straight 100-yard rushers including 210 yards to Thomas Jones last week. No team allows more rushing yards per carry (5.3 yards) than the Bills. I expect to see a similar pass-to-run ratio as last week (17:48) with plenty of touches to go around for both to have a fantasy feast.

Marshawn Lynch, Bills: After missing the first three weeks due to a league-imposed suspension, Lynch could very well have his breakout performance of the season this week. Through three games, he's seen his number of carries increase from eight to 17 to 19. In each of the past two games, Lynch has been given four more carries per game than Fred Jackson. This week's opponent (Carolina) ranks 29th in the NFL against the run and is one of only two teams to give up 5+ yards per carry.

Ryan Grant, Packers: In the Packers' two blowout victories (vs St. Louis and Detroit), Grant received 26 and 24 carries, respectively. The Packers are favored by more than a touchdown over the Browns, who have the league's 30th-ranked run defense. Also, the only team to give up more rushing touchdowns than Cleveland (9) is Houston (10). Meanwhile, the Browns will be without D'Qwell Jackson, their leading tackler, for the remainder of the season.

Joseph Addai, Colts: Addai may not be racking up rushing yards, but he's racking up fantasy points. In fact, 36 running backs have more yards than Addai (210). But in the past two games alone, Addai has caught 17 passes for 103 yards. In five games this year, Addai has four touchdowns (three rushing and one receiving). This week, the Colts face the Rams, who have given up nine rushing touchdowns. The Rams rank 26th against the run and 27th against the pass.
