#9 Chris Johnson - (#15 on ESPN Rankings)
This is the ranking that might come back to bite me. BUT Chris Johnson has had two good games in his past three. Sure they were both on fluky passes that ended up going for a lot of yardage, but thats what CJ2K does. I think he actually has a nice run this week and it gives him a good game.
#14 Ray Rice - (#11 on ESPN Rankings)
I haven't given up on Ray Rice for the season, but I'm certainly not positive in the meantime. I actually felt this ranking was generous considering the performance thus far. He is coming off a bye though, so Rice should have hope that this is the week he is fully healthy and performs like he should.
#21 Ryan Mathews - (#14 on ESPN Rankings)
The Ryan Mathews relevance has been nice, and he is still very much relevant at this spot, but he was still a major disappointment before two weeks ago and I don't see that overlying fact changing. This is a nice matchup so he is certainly an RB2 option, but you can do better.
#24 DeAngelo Williams - (#18 on ESPN Rankings)
Sure, DeAngelo got a TD last week, but other than that, his performance was disappointing. He saw his carries go below 10, and he left with a leg injury. Even if the leg injury isn't a problem, the carries are. Mike Tolbert is the goal line back, and Jonathan Stewart may be returning.
#28 Daryl Richardson - (#39 on ESPN Rankings)
Even if Stacy plays, I think Richardson should get 10 carries in this game. I also think he isn't as bad as he showed earlier this season. I think its entirely plausible he could end the day with 10-12 touches and 60-70 yards. Maybe even more if Stacy is out. Worth an add if you own Stacy.
Deeper Thoughts...I still believe in Jacquizz Rodgers as a potential fantasy worthy player despite Steven Jackson's return. Jackson clearly isn't 100%. Ben Tate is one player who could rocket up the rankings if it turns out Arian Foster is out. Of course, Tate has his own problems, but has said he will play. Brian Leonard is a sneaky option for desperate owners, especially in PPR leagues. He had 6 catches last week and really didn't look bad. He could definitely see an uptick in carries. I'm really disappointed with the way the Raiders have underutilized Marcel Reece, I expect that to change eventually.
