What happens when you take a team with a seemingly unstoppable offense and pair them against one of the league's toughest and physical defenses? You have the Week 6 matchup of the San Francisco 49ers against the Detroit Lions! The Lions and the 49ers? Really? Unstoppable offense? Toughest defense? Really? I know, right. I'm exaggerating a little bit but the Lions are scoring 31.8 points per game. Calvin Joh ...

Fred Jackson @ Giants - When things are going your way, they can really go your way as Fred Jackson's career year, as the Bills head out to face a Giants defense that gave up three touchdowns to Beanie Wells week four and close to one hundred yards and a score to Marshawn Lynch, last week. If those running backs can torch this group, what will arguably the best fantasy back of 2011 to do them? Jackson made ...

Shonn Greene vs Dolphins - While the Jets failed to beat the Patriots, it seems they left use some clues as to what Rex Ryan when he said, "Ground and Pound is Back" this past week. Shonn Greene carried the football 21 times for 81 yards and a touchdown score, and while those aren't earth shattering numbers the fact that the second running back in touches was a total of two by LaDainian Tomlinson, should te ...

Frank Gore vs Buccaneers - Due to an ankle injury, the 49ers actually started rookie Kendall Hunter against the Eagles, but Frank Gore responded with 15 carries for 127 yards and a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Gore will likely be on a pitch count again vs the Buccaneers, but he clearly showed big-play ability in Philadelphia and will face another beatable run defense at home. Hunter will ge ...

I will have this list updated on Fridays as injuries and weekly news changes the outlook of many fantasy players around the league. These flex play rankings consist of running backs and wide receiver ...

Darren McFadden vs Patriots - If you thought, Darren McFadden would struggle after a breakout year, think again, as the Raiders new super star has to be considered one of the true elite fantasy players around. McFadden looks even better than last year, and his 70-yard touchdown against the Jets was an impressive display of vision, foot work, and speed as he blew by the Jets secondary. Audio: Darren McFadden ...

While Adrian Peterson failed to find the end zone against the Chargers, he bounce back with two scores and over 100 yards playing the Buccaneers weak run defense. This week Peterson should have another solid day, as long as the Vikings can play a competitive game against the emerging Detroit Lions. Peterson has owned the Lions over his career, but this is a different team than the one he's faced in the past ...

Ray Rice got off to a big start week one against the Steelers as he totaled 149 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Those fantasy owners that paid attention to Rice as a possible first overall selection are looking good coming out of week one and he should have no problem finding success against the Titans in week two. More Week 2 Rankings - QB | RB | WR | TE | K/D | DL | LB | DB | Waiver Wire | Start/S ...
