Fantasy Football Running Back Picks for Week 1
Adrian Peterson vs. Cleveland Browns. The road for 2,00 kicks off in Cleveland. Look for Peterson to get hold of the ball premature and often and rip up the Browns’ defensive unit for over 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Mangini’s influence will surely make for a more regimented defense in 2009, although it won’t transpire in week 1 and it will not happen against the finest |fantasy nfl RB.
Maurice Jones-Drew against. Indianapolis Colts. Check in before game time, however if Jones-Drew is past the shin injury he suffered in the preseason final game, expect him to rip apart this feeble Colts’ defensive unit. Actually, MJD has consistently come up large when playing against the Colts, and now he will not be sharing touches with Fred Taylor. 100 rush yards and at a minimum one TD.
Pierre Thomas vs. Detroit Lions. Thomas must get a bundle of chances to run with the ball against the Lions after New Orleans jumps out to a large lead. And playing versus a defense that finds itself towards the cellar of the league, one hundred rushing yards with a touchdown or 2 appears to be surely attainable.
Michael Turner against the Fins. The Falcons and their potent offense commence the season versus last season’s year’s Cinderella franchise, the Miami Dolphins. And expect Atlanta to stay with what made them so successful a year ago: the running game. Turner ought to get the ball at least twenty five times during this game and that must be enough to hit the 100 yard mark with a minimum of one TD.
Cedric Benson against Denver Broncos. The interior of the Broncos defense this past season had a hole as large as the Atlantic Ocean, and they didn’t do a lot to address it this year. Benson finished off 2008 especially strong and will attempt to pick things up where he ended off. A good fantasy sleeper play in week 1.
Chris “Beanie” Wells versus the San Francisco niners. Wells will have a chance to begin his career with a bang versus the 49ers. While the 49ers have a solid set of linebackers, their defensive line is little, and this means that the Cards blockers will have a chance to get hold of to the second echelon and create great running lanes for Wells.
