Tier 1 – Potential Top Scorers
1. David Johnson (ARI) vs. TB
2. C.J. Anderson (DEN) vs. IND
3. DeAngelo Williams (PIT) vs. Cin
4. Lamar Miller (HOU) vs. KC
Tier 2 – Legitimate RB1s
5. Ezekiel Elliott (DAL) @ WAS
6. Mark Ingram (NO) @ NYG
7. Spencer Ware (KC) @ HOU
8. LeSean McCoy (BUF) vs. NYJ
9. Adrian Peterson (MIN) vs. GB
10. Matt Forte (NYJ) @ BUF
Tier 3 – Low-end RB1s, Elite RB2s
11. DeMarco Murray (TEN) @ DET
12. Todd Gurley (LA) vs. SEA
13. Jeremy Langford (CHI) vs. Phi
14. Rashad Jennings (NYG) vs. NO
15. Danny Woodhead (SD) vs. JAC
Tier 4 – Solid RB2s
16. Latavius Murray (OAK) vs. ATL
17. Ryan Mathews (PHI) @ CHI
18. Eddie Lacy (GB) @ MIN
19. Doug Martin (ATL) @ ARI
20. Devonta Freeman (ATL) @ OAK – This is the week we find out if he’ll be a major bust, or if the Week 1 RB receiving distribution was just a fluke.
21. Melvin Gordon (SD) vs. JAC
Tier 4.5
22. T.J. Yeldon (JAC) @ SD
23. Arian Foster (MIA) @ NE
24. Theo Riddick (DET) vs. TEN
25. Ameer Abdullah (DET) vs. TEN
26. Jonathan Stewart (CAR) vs. SF
27. Carlos Hyde (SF) @ CAR – With Hyde almost assuredly swimming against the game flow in a projected blow out, we’ll get a look to see just what type of fantasy asset he’ll be. Matchup based play only, or a truly valuable weekly RB.
28. Thomas Rawls (SEA) @ LA – Update: Rawls was just named the starter just named the starter against an LA Rams Defense that allowed three rushing TDs in Week 1. If the reports suggest he’s going to be featured, Rawls will shoot up.
