Matt Forte (RB, CHI)
His seeming inability to consistently score touchdowns makes him a boring start, but the volume of touches can’t be denied. Matt Forte is the first, second and third option in Chicago, and Detroit hasn’t exactly been stellar at defending running backs.
Last week the Lions surrendered three rushing touchdowns and 191 rushing yards to Arizona running backs, neither of whom are the caliber of Forte. The Lions have had a few good showings against the run, but not enough to doubt Forte.
C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN)
I completely understand if the mere sight of his name makes you cringe with disgust. Like his teammate Peyton Manning, the question of "if not now, when?" is valid. C.J. Anderson’s season has been an abysmal disappointment up to this point and it’s difficult to trust him.
However, Cleveland provides a plus match up for Anderson and Ronnie Hillman is battling an injury. If Anderson can’t take advantage of this golden opportunity, it may be time to cut bait and move on.
