Week 11 Rankings: RBs

Rank	Runningback	Opp	Comments
1	Arian Foster	JAC	Can't ask for anything more here. Top back, at home, top matchup.
2	Jamaal Charles	CIN	I think after last week the Chiefs realized, "hey, maybe getting our best player involved would be helpful."
3	Stevan Ridley	IND	I'm expecting a big week not only from Ridley but the offense in total.
4	Ray Rice	@PIT	Since the scores might not be run up (Flacco on the road vs. Leftwich anywhere), Rice should see a large workload.
5	CJ Spiller	MIA	Dolphins finally cracked against the run and while I don't think it's the breaking of a seal, Spiller is similar to CJ2K
6	Reggie Bush	@BUF	He's an incredible talent. He's slumping, not declining. Perfect team to bounce back against.
7	Frank Gore	CHI	As if Alex Smith's workload couldn't be more limited, concussion
8	Alfred Morris	PHI	He's had two down weeks but this Eagles defense gave up a big game to Felix Jones so he should be fine.
9	LeSean McCoy	@WSH	Been a rough year but sadly this Vick injury may be the best thing for Shady owners.
10	Matt Forte	@SF	Worst matchup you could imagine but if the score stays close there's a chance, plus he's involved in the pass game.
11	Steven Jackson	NYJ	He finally broke through last week and expect the same if not more.
12	Trent Richardson	@DAL	So much upside that it's tough to sit him if he's your RB1 or RB2 but it is an unfavorable matchup.
13	Doug Martin	@CAR	Martin Scores-easy. The Douggernaut. Ball Mart. That is all.
14	Felix Jones	CLE	Coming off a big week against the Eagles and while the Browns aren't bad, Eagles D is better.
15	Ryan Mathews	@DEN	Broncos defense is playing well and he's dealing with a neck issue.
16	BenJarvus Green-Ellis	@KC	He's due for a big game and I think it'll come this week.
17	Marcel Reece	NO	He's going to have to do his damage in the first half before the score starts getting out of hand.
18	Mikel Leshoure	GB	This is a great matchup for him and as long as the score stays close it'll be a nice week for owners.
19	Daniel Thomas	@BUF	He'll likely keep his even split with Reggie Bush and though he's not as explosive, the Bills are that bad.
20	Willis McGahee	SD	This is a very good yardage run defense, but they have given up TDs.
21	LaRod Stephens-Howling	@ATL	Softer run defense compared to what he's faced recently so his skillset will be more valuable against a team that you have to throw on.
22	Mark Ingram	@OAK	He was the lead back last week and there's no reason that should change. Hope for the best.
23	Jonathan Stewart	TB	I hate Panthers RBs but they're going to have to score early and often against these Bucs.
24	Shonn Greene	@STL	This team is in such bad shape and the Rams run defense has been solid over the past few weeks.
25	Jonathan Dwyer	BAL	He'll likely start since Redman's disappointed lately but the matchup falls apart without a QB.
26	Michael Turner	ARI	After last week's near-goose-egg I can't imagine him getting anything done against a much better defense.
27	Chris Ivory	@OAK	May not be the primary back but he has the most upside.
28	Donald Brown	@NE	Still a timeshare and the Pats defend the run very well.
29	James Starks	@DET	He's expected to start now but this is a rough matchup.
30	Isaac Redman	BAL	Certainly not making a case for himself with the fumble issue and now Dwyer's healthy.
31	Vick Ballard	@NE	Still a timeshare and the Pats defend the run very well.
32	Rashad Jennings	@HOU	See: Foster, Arian. This is the oppesite of that.
33	Jacquizz Rodgers	ARI	The Cardinals are very, very good at defending screens, which is all Rodgers is really utilized for.
34	Daryl Richardson	NYJ	He's been very impressive thus far and he's got a tasty matchup, but SJax has been on a tear.
35	Pierre Thomas	@OAK	His carries inexplicably dropped off so he'd be hard to trust.
36	Alex Green	@DET	He's been bumped to backup behind James Starks so not much hope.
37	Danny Woodhead	IND	He's been great catching the ball but there's no safety since there are so many viable targets.
38	Joique Bell	GB	Has 14 receptions over the last three games but he rarely gets carries.
39	DeAngelo Williams	TB	Limited carries = limited opportunities. He's got to make the most of them.
40	Michael Bush	@SF	Very tough defense and with him, you're already only hoping for a TD so scary matchup.
41	Justin Forsett	JAC	The defense is awful and if Tate's out again, he'll get Foster's leftovers.
42	Shane Vereen	IND	He's been playing well with Bolden serving his suspension and the Colts don't stop anyone.
43	Ronnie Brown	@DEN	This defense is on a roll but his stock does go up if Mathews continues to miss practices (neck).
44	Peyton Hillis	CIN	He's starting to get the true backup's load of carries.
45	LeGarrette Blount	@CAR	They're not good at defending the run nowadays but he's not good at getting many carries nowadays.
46	Kendall Hunter	CHI	He'd be higher since they may not throw much but the matchup is stifling.
47	Phillip Tanner	CLE	He's the backup to Felix Jones which means he could see a decent share of carries in a close game.
48	Bernard Pierce	@PIT	For some reason they like to have him take important carries away from Rice so he could pay off.
49	Taiwan Jones	NO	Reece is starting and he'll have to strike in the first quarter before the Saints score so not much chance here.
50	Ronnie Hillman	SD	Finally found the endzone last week but this is a very good run defense.
