Sunday Updates
- With Adrian Peterson completely out of the rankings (potentially for a while), Arian Foster is into the top-3 at running back this week. Foster will get a full workload against the Raiders. Enough said.
- I would be more than happy starting some of the RB2s that have RB1 upside this week, including Shane Vereen, Rashad Jennings, Knowshon Moreno, Toby Gerhart or Terrance West.
- With the Rams murky quarterback situation, expect them to lean even more on the run than usual. Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham should both get opportunities against an underrated Buccaneers defense.
- There is nothing to get excited about when it comes to the Vikings new backfield duo of Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon. If you are in need of a starter of flex play, they are both worth a look. Just keep your expectations in check.
