2 yards per carry and 126 rushing yards per game

Tampa Bay While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers really impressed in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, running back Ryan Grant was still able to rush for 96 yards and a score. Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams have both paid big-time dividends this season, and should find ample opportunity as the Dolphins are able to control the clock in this match-up. The Buccaneers are 30th in the NFL having allowed 163 rushing yards and over a touchdown per game, so Brown should be a solid RB1 play while Williams should play a role as a RB2 option. However, it comes down to his total production, and while 36 yards rushing and 19 receiving yards is nothing special, he was still able to muster over six yards per touch.

As bad as the Raiders have been against the rush, they have also been quite solid against the pass in 2009, meaning that quarterback Matt Cassel could be forced to hand the ball off to the Charles, and backup Kolby Smith. Expect Charles to have 70-80 total yards and if he can find pay dirt his fantasy points could rival those of RB2 plays for the week. Knowshon Moreno (Denver Broncos) WashingtonIt’s hard to know what to make of the Washington Redskins. On one hand, their pass defense has been top notch (1st in the NFL in passing yards allowed), but on the other hand, their rush defense has been near the bottom. Josh McDaniels’ offense has been stagnant since coming off a bye, and they will need to establish the run game to open up things for quarterback Kyle Orton.

Despite a lackluster performance in Week 9 (five carries for three yards), Moreno’s overall numbers have been slightly above average (sans the fumble woes), but if given 15-20 touches he had been getting leading up last week, Moreno could get back on track against a Redskins rushing defense that allows 4.2 yards per carry and 126 rushing yards per game.WIDE RECEIVERS – START ‘EM Sidney Rice (Minnesota Vikings) vs. Detroit Sidney Rice has undoubtedly been the Vikings most impressive wide receiver this season, overtaking Bernard Berrian as the No 1 option in a efficient Minnesota Vikings passing offense. His big play potential and sure hands have led to future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre trusting Rice and looking his way often. In what looks to be a lopsided match-up against the Detroit Lions, almost all Vikings players should be started, but Rice should see some of the biggest benefits against a Lions defense that allows over 22 points per game to opposing wide receivers Braylon Edwards (New York Jets) vs. Hopefully the extra work has paid off for Edwards’ fantasy football owners. Edwards’ modus operandi has been to be consistently inconsistent in his career, but we’re expecting a big day from him against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed 100 fantasy points (standard scoring) to the wide receiver position over the last four games Pierre Garcon (Indianapolis Colts) vs. New England At the start of the season Garcon had a big game early and became the flavor of the week on the waiver wire only to fizzle as time went on.
