4. Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars) @ Oakland

MJD was held to 12 carries in Week 5 against Chicago, but he did gain 56 yards to average 4.7 YPC. He’s done a great job coming off of injury this year and should be able to keep it going this week against Oakland. The Raiders are a middling run defense allowing 4.1 YPC and 111.8 YPG, so Pocket Hercules will likely have no issues getting it done. Look for him to score at least once and gain yardage in both the run and pass game.
Point Projection: 17 points

5. Darren McFadden (Oakland Raiders) vs. Jacksonville

Run DMC finished Week 6 with 93 total yards and a touchdown. He struggled a bit on the ground with just 70 yards on 27 carries (2.6 YPC) and he has just one 100-yard rushing game on the year. It hasn’t been the biggest year for sure, but he is healthy and could break out at any moment, especially if he gets around 25 carries again like he did in Week 6. He’ll have every opportunity for a big day Sunday when he takes on a Jacksonville run defense that is allowing 4.7 YPC and 163 YPG on the year. Week 7 has all the makings of a breakout for McFadden.
Point Projection: 16 points

6. Trent Richardson (Cleveland Browns) @ Indianapolis

Richardson totaled 54 yards before leaving the game with a rib injury. It has been diagnosed as a right rib cartilage injury and he is currently considered as day-to-day. Owners will have no choice but to keep a close eye on him this week, and the smart move would be to grab Montario Hardesty as a safety valve. If Richardson (he practiced Wednesday) can give it a go he’s a great start against an awful Indianapolis run defense.
Point Projection: 16 points

7. Chris Johnson (Tennessee Titans) @ Buffalo

For the second time in the last three games, Johnson showed some life. He ran for 91 yards on 19 carries Thursday night against Pittsburgh and also caught four balls for 23 yards. He was held out of the end zone yet again, though owners will gladly take a performance like this, especially against a solid run defense like Pittsburgh. He’s gotten his YPC on the season up to 3.3, which is still bad but way better than it looked a few weeks ago. Let’s hope he and the Titans offensive line have turned a corner of sorts and can begin to consistently run the ball. He’ll have a great chance to do so this week against a Buffalo Bills run defense ranked dead last with both a 5.8 YPC average and 173.5 YPG average on the season. They have also allowed a league-worst nine touchdowns on the ground, so CJ is a must-start this week as all signs point to a big game.

8. Matt Forte (Chicago Bears) vs. Detroit

Forte proved he was healthy in Week 5 against Jacksonville with 107 yards on 22 carries and 20 yards on two catches. It was his first 100-yard rushing performance of the year, but he is averaging 4.7 YPC and has a total of 376 yards despite missing one game with injury. He will take a crack at Detroit in the Monday Night Game in Week 7. The Lions have done a nice job against the run this season allowing 3.7 YPC and 96.4 YPG, but Forte is a talent that must be started at all times. He could be slowed a bit but the way he looked in his last game is encouraging.

9. Ahmad Bradshaw (New York Giants) vs. Washington

Bradshaw had another nice game, this time against a tough run defense in San Francisco. He followed up a 200-yard performance with 116 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries against the Niners. He is on a tear right now and will look to roll over Washington in Week 7. The Redskins run defense has done a nice job this year, allowing 88.8 YPG and 3.9 YPC. Last season, he had 102 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries in two games against Washington. He is one of the safer plays in this crazy week.
Point Projection: 15 points

10. Alfred Morris (Washington Redskins) @ New York Giants

Morris ran for 47 yards on 16 carries and scored another touchdown, his fifth on the year. This was the rookie’s most inefficient game, but he’ll continue to carry the load and has run for 538 yards on 116 carries (4.6 YPC) on the year. Morris and the Redskins will head to New Jersey to face the Giants in Week 7, a run defense that has given up 4.6 YPC and 106.2 YPG. Morris is surprisingly one of the safer plays in all of fantasy football at the moment.
Point Projection: 15 points

11. Felix Jones (Dallas Cowboys) @ Carolina  

Jones ran for 92 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, most of which came after DeMarco Murray left the game with a foot injury. It was certainly encouraging to see him get the job done after now getting much work at all before this game. He is a must-add in all leagues as he will get the start for at least Week 7 and possibly more. He also gets a nice matchup with a Carolina run defense allowing 127.4 YPG, so plug him in to your lineup if you were lucky enough to snag him off the waiver wire. Jones has underachieved much of his career, and this is his chance to prove the doubters wrong.
Point Projection: 14 points

12. Stevan Ridley (New England Patriots) vs. New York Jets

Seattle’s tough run defense struck Ridley in Week 6, holding him to 34 yards on 16 carries. He had 10 more carries than Brandon Bolden and continues to carry the load, which is a good sign. Ridley has looked good more often than not this season and he will look to continue running hard against the New York Jets this week. The Jets have struggled against the run on the season, allowing 150.5 YPG, but did have a nice game last week in stopping Indianapolis. Ridley should have a fine game.
Point Projection: 14 points

13. Doug Martin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) vs. New Orleans

The rookie had a nice all-around game with 76 yards on 13 carries (5.8 YPC) and 55 yards on two catches. He had a score taken away by LeGarrette Blount, who continues to see more carries each week, but he is still the clear starter. New Orleans has given up 5.0 YPC and 172.8 YPG on the ground this year so the matchup is certainly there for Martin. Keep him in your lineup this week.
Point Projection: 13 points

14. Frank Gore (San Francisco 49ers) vs. Seattle

Gore was held to 36 yards on eight carries but had his best game as a receiver with 20 yards on four catches. He was a victim of circumstance as the Niners fell ahead early and had to completely abandon the run. It was nice to see him catch some passes, however. He is still the unquestioned starter in San Fran and will look to turn it around in Week 7. Unfortunately for him, he faces a really good Seattle run defense that is holding opposing runners to 3.3 YPC and 70 YPG. He should be able to bounce back a bit but may not be able to have a huge game. Nonetheless, he should remain in your lineup.
Point Projection: 13 points

15. Alex Green (Green Bay Packers) @ St. Louis

Green made his debut as a starter in Green Bay and struggled a bit, gaining 65 yards on 22 carries with an eight-yard reception. The bad news is the 3.0 YPC average. The good news is the 22 carries was 17 more than James Starks had so it looks like Green will be the primary back moving forward in Green Bay. St. Louis has done surprisingly well against the run this year allowing 4.0 YPC and 100.8 YPG. Still, they are beatable and Greene will see plenty of touches. You won’t find many other backs with more opportunities to get it done than Green this week.
