2013 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings - PPR: RB | WR | TE
Updated 10/10 - Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings (vs. Panthers) - 22 Points
150 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Pro Bowl fullback Jerome Felton is back, so Adrian Peterson should be back to 2012 form. - Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs (vs. Raiders) - 20 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 7 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Raiders are a surprising 11th against the run, but Jamaal Charles will do most of his damage via receiving yardage. - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks (vs. Titans) - 18 Points
100 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Titans have surrendered at least 100 rushing yards to three of their four previous opponents. - LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles (at Bucs) - 17 Points
70 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Buccaneers have limited three of four opponents to 75 rushing yards or fewer. - Reggie Bush, RB, Lions (at Browns) - 17 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Reggie Bush has a tough matchup against the Browns, but having Calvin Johnson back will help open things up for him. - Doug Martin, RB, Bucs (vs. Eagles) - 16 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Eagles are 21st against the run. - Matt Forte, RB, Bears (vs. Giants) - 15 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Giants actually aren't that bad against the run, but Matt Forte will be a big part of the passing game. - Ray Rice, RB, Ravens (vs. Packers) - 15 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Dolphins are tough to run against, but Ray Rice should get receptions this week. - Alfred Morris, RB, Redskins (at Cowboys) - 15 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Cowboys stink against the pass, but they're just average versus the run. - Fred Jackson, RB, Bills (vs. Bengals) - 14 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Fred Jackson had a solid Thursday night despite spraining his MCL. The extra time off can only help. - Marcel Reece, RB, Raiders (at Chiefs) - 14 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Marcel Reece could receive most of the workload. - Darren Sproles, RB, Saints (at Patriots) - 14 Points
20 Rushing Yards, 7 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD. - Frank Gore, RB, 49ers (vs. Cardinals) - 13 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
The Cardinals are fourth against the run, but Frank Gore should still be treated like an RB2. - Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos (vs. Jaguars) - 13 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Knowshon Moreno is the lead dog in the backfield, but the Broncos have shown that they'll test out Montee Ball in a blowout. - DeMarco Murray, RB, Cowboys (vs. Redskins) - 13 Points
80 Rushing Yards, 6 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
Washington ranks 30th against the run. - Trent Richardson, RB, Colts (at Chargers) - 12 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Regardless of whether or not Ahmad Bradshaw is in the lineup, Trent Richardson will always be a threat to score. - Arian Foster, RB, Texans (vs. Rams) - 12 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Arian Foster has actually looked pretty decent the past couple of weeks. - Danny Woodhead, RB, Chargers (vs. Colts) - 9 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 7 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards. - C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills (vs. Bengals) - 8 Points
70 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
C.J. Spiller's not fully healthy. He's a low-end RB2 at best. - Bilal Powell, RB, Jets (vs. Steelers) - 8 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards.
Now entrenched as the primary ball-carrier. - Giovani Bernard, RB, Bengals (at Bills) - 7 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
The Bills are decent against the run, so Giovani Bernard will have to do most of his damage as a receiver out of the backfield. - DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers (at Vikings) - 7 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards. - Le'Veon Bell, RB, Steelers (at Jets) - 7 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
New York has the No. 2 rush defense in the NFL. - Andre Ellington, RB, Cardinals (at 49ers) - 6 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
Andre Ellington's role will continue to increase. - Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jaguars (at Broncos) - 6 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
The Jaguars will have to abandon the running game early on. - Eddie Lacy, RB, Packers (at Ravens) - 6 Points
60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch.
Eddie Lacy looked solid in his return, but Baltimore is eighth versus the run. - Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots (vs. Saints) - 6 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
Stevan Ridley could be back next week. - Brandon Bolden, RB, Patriots (vs. Saints) - 6 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards. - Zac Stacy, RB, Rams (at Texans) - 6 Points
60 Rushing Yards.
Zac Stacy is now the primary ball-carrier. Unfortunately, he has to battle Houston's 13th-ranked run defense. - Chris Johnson, RB, Titans (at Seahawks) - 6 Points
50 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
Chris Johnson has been a major disappointment. I'd sit him against the Seahawks. - Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Cardinals (at 49ers) - 5 Points
40 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards.
Rashard Mendenhall stinks, so his role will continue to be reduced. - Ryan Mathews, RB, Chargers (vs. Colts) - 5 Points
50 Rushing Yards.
Suffered a concussion on Sunday night. - Joique Bell, RB, Lions (at Browns) - 5 Points
20 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards. - Ronnie Hillman, RB, Broncos (vs. Jaguars) - 4 Points

30 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards. - Ben Tate, RB, Texans (vs. Rams) - 4 Points
30 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards.
Ben Tate is a better runner than Arian Foster. He needs more touches. - BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Bengals (at Bills) - 3 Points
30 Rushing Yards. - Brandon Jacobs, RB, Giants (at Bears) - 3 Points
