Week 5 RB Rankings

Here are the rankings for RBs in week 5;

1) Matt Forte
2) LaDanian Tomlinson
3) Adrian Peterson
4) Joseph Addai
5) Marion Barber
6) Earnest Graham
7) Steve Slaton
8) Marshawn Lynch
9) Ryan Grant
10) Brandon Jacobs
11) Jonathan Stewart
12) Larry Johnson
13) Michael Turner
14) Ronnie Brown
15) Julius Jones
16) Chris Perry
17) Edgerrin James
18) Reggie Bush
19) Brian Westbrook
20) Maurice Jones-Drew
21) Mewelde Moore
22) Sammy Morris
23) DeAngelo Williams
24) Chris Johnson
25) Selvin Young

Matt Forte gets to run on the Detroit defense. At this point, I would be ranked #1 against them. I think Indy will get a hefty dose of Steve Slaton to attack that suddenly pitiful run defense. Johnathan Stewart has outperformed DeAngelo Williams in every game this year, but ESPN projects Williams to be the higher scorer. I don't. Ronnie Brown won't score 5 TDs, but he could easily get 12-14 points. Reggie Bush might have 19 carries for -3 yards, but should be able to catch a handful of passes and get some yards and a possible score off those. Sammy Morris is the RB in New England this week, I guess. Selvin Young is a riddle, wrapped inside an enigma. Is he the starter, or is Andre Hall? Does he get the red zone carries, or does Michael Pittman? Who knows...
