Week 9 Rankings: RBs (That's About Right)

This week's runningback rankings bring us a list in which almost everything makes sense. And sensibility is a really underrated trait in sports so just take it when it comes around. As a Matt Forte owner in four leagues, I have a good feeling about this week, but the Bears offensively have underachieved against fantastic matchups before. Anyway, here's your RBs:

Rank	Runningback	Opp	Comments
1	Arian Foster	BUF	Bills allow 145 yards and 2 TDs per game. CJ1K just had 195 on them.
2	LeSean McCoy	@NO	Saints equally as bad as the Bills and they HAVE to start using him right?
3	Matt Forte	@TEN	He's a fantasy monster and he really hasn't even had a monster game yet.
4	Alfred Morris	CAR	He's unbenchable. It doesn't matter what the matchup is now.
5	Ray Rice	@CLE	He's disappointing this year against bad teams. That changes this week.
6	Trent Richardson	BAL	Ravens allow 133 yards, 1 TD per game. He had 104 total yards and a TD against them in Week 4.
7	Willis McGahee	@CIN	Broke 120 last week. Cincy gives up a healthy 100 yards per game.
8	Adrian Peterson	@SEA	Can't sit him against anyone no matter how good the defense may be.
9	Ryan Mathews	KC	Chiefs give up the sixth-most fantasy points to RBs. Big game coming.
10	Reggie Bush	@IND	Could be #1 but Daniel Thomas has been getting a solid load lately.
11	Doug Martin	@OAK	Oakland gives up 80 rushing and 50 receiving yards per game to RBs.
12	Marshawn Lynch	MIN	Tough to sit but the Vikings one of the better run defenses.
13	Darren McFadden	TB	He's disappointed and Tampa's a tough matchup but never sit your studs.
14	Ahmad Bradshaw	PIT	He really hasn't played well against tougher matchups, but there's always a chance he goes off.
15	Jamaal Charles	@SD	This Chargers defense is damn good against the run. Only allowing
16	Darren Sproles	PHI	Tough to gauge since he averages only 5 carries per game but has 3 receiving TDs in his past 4 games.
17	Rashad Jennings	DET	They've been great but they really limit Gabberts attempts.
18	Mikel Leshoure	@JAC	He's been running great and this may be the best matchup he's had.
19	Michael Turner	DAL	Cowboys missing Sean Lee and will devote more coverage to the pass.
20	Chris Johnson	CHI	Tore up Houston so don't know what to expect against tough matchups.
21	CJ Spiller	@HOU	Leads the league in yards per carry, maybe he won't be backup for long.
22	BenJarvus Green-Ellis	DEN	Broncos allow 99 yards per game and will focus more on the pass game.
23	Fred Jackson	@HOU	Spiller's been a better runner this year but he's still the starter.
24	Jonathan Stewart	@WSH	Maybe having the timeshare taken away will boost his confidence.
25	Jonathan Dwyer	@NYG	Much tougher matchup than he's faced but he's been very good thus far.
26	Felix Jones	@ATL	Murray is likely out again so expect him to be the primary carrier.
27	LaRod Stephens-Howling	@GB	If the Cardinals could utilize him correctly he'd be a deadly fantasy weapon. His skillset makes an offensive line obsolete. Which is good since he doesn't have one anyway.
28	Donald Brown	MIA	He's starting but both Ballard and Carter have dug into his workload.
29	Alex Green	ARI	Not high on him, but with Rodgers wanting to run more, who knows?
30	Daniel Thomas	@IND	I'm predicting a ton of running for the Fins this week as Tanny heals.
31	Michael Bush	@TEN	He's embraced the limited role and has been making the most of it.
32	Pierre Thomas	PHI	He's really the Saints' best RB since Sproles hardly gets carries.
33	Andre Brown	PIT	Seems to vulture at least three or four goal-line carries per week.
34	Joique Bell	@JAC	Jaguars are terrible and if all goes well fantasy-wise, the second half will be a lot of running for the Lions.
35	Vick Ballard	MIA	Clearly isn't the by and far backup now that Brown's back and got the final carry of the game last week.
36	Jacquizz Rodgers	DAL	Damn good in the screen game and the Falcons love to run screens.
37	DeAngelo Williams	@WSH	Just got benched, may or may not get traded, fantasy owners already hate him. Maybe a big Eff You game here?
38	Justin Forsett	BUF	With Ben Tate still dealing with lingering injuries, he becomes the second in line against the worst D.
39	Phillip Tanner	@ATL	He just doesn't seem to be clicking in ways that are fantasy-productive.
40	Peyton Hillis	@SD	He's got to get it going at some point here.
41	Ronnie Hillman	@CIN	Has the speed to break off something big on every carry.
42	LeGarrette Blount	@OAK	Same comment every week. He gets goal line work. Blah.
43	Baron Batch	PHI	He's a feisty little guy and has shown terrific upside. Plus it helps when everyone above you is ailing.
44	Ronnie Brown	KC	Game could quickly get out of hand, maybe Mathews gets some rest?
45	Delone Carter	MIA	He stole some crucial carries from the top two guys last week so no reason to believe that won't happen again.
46	Jorvorskie Lane	@IND	Same comment every week. He gets goal line work. Meh.
47	Montario Hardesty	BAL	They have had to limit the full capacity that they use T-Rich in so he gets a good amount of touches.
48	William Powell	@GB	Cards are utilizing the Hyphen well so his workload has gone down.
49	Mike Tolbert	@WSH	Same comment every week. He gets goal line work. Bleh.
50	Mark Ingram	PHI	Same comment every week. He gets goal line work. Yuck.
