Fantasy Football: Week 5 start 'em sit 'em RBs

Start Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Rams. This is the week all you MJD owners have been waiting for. The Rams are allowing 130 rushing yards per game to opposing running backs and the Jaguars are going to realize that their best offensive weapon for the last 8 years is still hangin' around, even if the Jags aren't.

Start Ray Rice vs. Miami. The Dolphins are giving up almost 75 receiving yards per game to opposing running backs, in addition to over 85 yards per game on the ground. It seems as though John Harbaugh is moving on from the delusion that Joe Flacco will carry the Ravens back to the playoffs. It's time for Rice to resume his place as the rock that Baltimore can ride. I'm expecting at least 20 fantasy points in PPR formats from Rice this week.


Start LeSean McCoy vs. Giants. McCoy has recorded over 100 yards from scrimmage in his last 4 games against the Giants. In his career, McCoy has played the Giants eight time, carrying the ball 125 times for almost 6 ypc; also catching 4 passes per game. Week 5 is not the week when McCoy falls off the top of the rushing leaders list.

Start Giovani Bernard vs. Patriots. Welcome home "The Law-Firm". Bill Belichick isn't going to give up anything to BenJarvus Green-Ellis. If the Bengals are going to find production on offense, it's going to come with the rookie Bernard. The Patriots have only allowed 1 rushing score to running backs. On the other hand, they are giving up almost 6 receptions to running backs per game, this bodes well for Gio B.

Start Danny Woodhead vs. Raiders.

Start DeMarco Murray vs. Broncos.

Sit Jason Snelling vs. Jets. The Jets are giving up a league-low 80 yards from scrimmage per game to opposing running backs. Furthermore, a destructive 2.9 yards per carry, and 4.8 yards per catch will send and running back to my bench.

Sit Chris Johnson vs. Chiefs. The last time CJ?K matched up against the Chiefs he couldn't manage to break the 6-fantasy-point barrier. Chris Johnson is, as usual, under-performing, and has quickly fallen into everyone's' "bust" category. Johnson might bounce back, or let loose an 80-yard-TD but it's not going to happen against a stunning Chiefs defense.

Sit C.J. Spiller vs. Browns. The Bills haven't been able to build any momentum in the run game this year. Neither Spiller or Jackson have been able to stay healthy, or produce at any considerable pace. The Browns are going to test their stamina, and the Bills offensive line. You'd be better off plugging in Gio or Woody this week.

Sit Fred Jackson vs. Browns.

Sit Lamar Miller vs. Ravens.

Sit JacQuizz Rodgers vs. Jets.
