1) Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
Turner has a good matchup and is running well.
2) Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Peterson has talent will get a ton of touches.
3) Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
Perhaps the most explosive of all the RBs.
4) LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
Not as dominant but will still produce.
5) Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts
Good matchup despite makes him startable.
6) Ronnie Brown, Miami Dolphins
Tough matchup but could surprise.
7) LeRon McClain, Baltimore Ravens
RB by committee but should get touches.
8) Tim Hightower, Arizona Cardinals
Only a TD threat at this point.

QB Brad Johnson, Dallas Cowboys
If Tony Romo misses any action, Brad Johnson should be able to fill in decently enough. Against a poor defense, Johnson is a good start even at his old age due to all the offensive weapons at his disposal. However, be aware that Romo is necessarily out for Week 7 so you should still follow that storyline closely.
RB Dominic Rhodes, Indianapolis Colts
With Joseph Addai out approximately 2-to-4 weeks, Dominic Rhodes will step into a starter’s role. Although he isn’t as good as Addai, Rhodes runs hard and should be able to produce. He’s a decent RB2 …read more

Fantasy Quarterbacks
Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Word out of New England is that Tom Brady has suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season. If true, this is obviously devastating news to both the Patriots and fantasy owners.
Vince Young, Tennessee Titans
A few reports are saying that Vince Young has torn his MCL in his knee. If true, the knee injury will sideline Young for around a month.
Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs
After suffering a shoulder injury, Brodie Croyle left the game for the Chiefs. Early indications point to him missing at least a few weeks.
Fantasy Running Backs

Picking the best possible running back with your first round draft pick is a great way to get your fantasy football season off on the right start. Here is our updated fantasy running back rankings for 2008 fantasy football:
1. LaDainian Tomlinson – Tomlinson should be a stud once again.
2. Adrian Peterson – AP has the high ceiling of anyone in fantasy football.
3. Brian Westbrook – Westbrook is an all-around producer on the field.
4. Steven Jackson – Somewhat of a risk but should be very solid.
5. Marion Barber III – Likely to be a touchdown machine this year.

A total of ten running backs are being drafted within the top twelve overall picks in typical 2008 fantasy football drafts. Who are those ten running backs and in which order are they being drafted?
1. LaDanian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
2. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
3. Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
4. Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
5. Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts

Heading into the 2008 fantasy football season, there will be great debate about which running back should be taken first. On one hand, you have LaDainian Tomlinson who has been a fantasy football stud for many years. On the other hand, you have Adrian Peterson who showed limitless potential in his rookie season in the NFL. Which one do we choose right now?
1. LaDainian Tomlison – He’s been too good for too long to pass up.
2. Adrian Peterson – He has as much upside as any player in 2008.
3. Steven Jackson – Struggled in 2007 but should …read more

After spending a season with the Oakland Raiders, Dominic Rhodes has signed a contract to return to the Indianapolis Colts. After a disappointing season in Oakland, Rhodes will be going back to Indianapolis. The last time Rhodes was in a Colts uniform, he was helping the team win the 2006 Super Bowl.

Rhodes will partner with Joseph Addai, who he partnered with and had great success in 2006. In 2006, Rhodes had 641 yards and five touchdowns. Last year with the Raiders, Rhodes had 302 yards and one touchdown.
While there’s a chance that he can once again …read more

During the three games on Thanksgiving, a few players stood out – for good reasons and bad. While you digest your turkey, here’s a look at two players whose stock are on the rise after their play on Thanksgiving:
Kevin Jones, Detroit Lions
Even though the Lions lost, Jones looks to be back on the right track. After a pair of horrible outings in his last two contests, Jones put together a nice game against the Green Bay Packers – one of the best defenses against the run. Jones finished with 120 total yards and a touchdown on 20 rushes and two …read more

QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys – Romo has been a very good fantasy quarterback this season. He’s no doubt top five at position. That said, it may be time to start to look at trading him. If you look at his numbers, he has had three average weeks in a row. Against the Vikings in Week 7, he didn’t have the fantasy production many expected against Minnesota’s weak pass defense. If you can trade Romo to an owner who hasn’t realized that Romo has cooled off, you could get more in return than he is actually worth.
RB Joseph Addai – …read more

Cadillac Williams
Williams injured his knee in a gruesome manner and early reports are that he’s out for the rest of the season. If that is true, that’s a huge blow to not only Tampa Bay but fantasy owners who had Cadillac on their team. The Bucs will go with either Michael Pittman or Earnest Graham at running back from with Williams sidelined.
Marvin Harrison
Harrison isn’t a name you often see on injury reports but he sustained a leg injury against the Broncos. As it stands, his status for Week 5 is unknown. If he misses time, expect more production out of …read more
