The Best Fantasy Football RB Matchups for Week 1
Adrian Peterson versus Cleveland Browns. The path for 2000 begins in Ohio. Expect Peterson to dominate the ball premature and regularly and tear up the Browns’ defense for more than 150 total yards and 2 touchdowns. Mangini’s presence will certainly make for a more regimented defense in 2009, however it won’t take place in week 1 and it won’t take place vs. the finest |fantasy nfl RB.
Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Indy. Check in before the game starts, but if MJD is healed from his shin contusion he was hit with in the preseason final game, look for him to carve up this undersized Colts’ defense. Essentially, MJD has consistently come up big when playing versus Indy, and now he will not be sharing carries with Fred Taylor. One hundred rush yards and at least one TD.
Pierre Thomas against Detroit. Thomas ought to see a bundle of chances to carry the football vs. the Lions after the Saints jump out to a giant lead. And going against a defense which finds itself at the cellar of the league, one hundred total yards with a touchdown or two seems definitely possible.
Michael Turner vs. the Fins. Atlanta and their dangerous offense start the year vs. last year’s season’s Cinderella team, the Dolphins. And look for Atlanta to stay with what made them so successful a season ago: the rush. Turner should carry the football at least 25 times during this game and that must be enough to hit the 100 yard mark with a minimum of 1 TD.
Cedric Benson versus Denver Broncos. The interior of the Broncos defense this past year had a hole as big as the Atlantic Ocean, and they did not do a lot to address it this year. Benson ended off ’08 very strong and will attempt to resume where he left off. A nice fantasy sleeper play in week 1.
Chris “Beanie” Wells vs the San Francisco 49ers. Wells will have a chance to start his career with a bang versus the niners. While the 49ers boast a strong set of linebackers, their defensive line is tiny, and this means that the Cards blockers will have a chance to get hold of to the second level and create nice running lanes for Wells.
