Week 8 Running Back Rankings

1. Clinton Portis(@DET)- A no-brainer.
2. Brian Westbrook(vs. ATL)- As long as he can stay healthy, he should be great.
3. Chris Johnson(@IND)- Has been a machine, and great match-up.
4. Frank Gore(vs. SEA)- Seahawks will do all they can to stop him, but Singletary will have Niners fired up.
5. Thomas Jones(vs. KC)- While Favre has played terribly lately, Jones has been coming alive. If Favre can keep from turning it over the first few drives, could get up early and pound Jones all day long.
6. Steven Jackson(@NE)- Should be a decent day, unless Cassel and Moss can click again early.
7. Ladainian Tomlinson(vs. NO in London)- Hasn't been himself lately, but good match-up.
8. Marshawn Lynch(@MIA)- Good match-up.
9. Earnest Graham(@DAL)- Dunn has been getting a lot of carries lately, but this is a good week for TB to play some smash-mouth, ball-control football, and Graham is good guy for that.
10. Steve Slaton(vs. CIN)- Great match-up, but Green cutting into production enough to officially be annoying.
11. Willis McGahee(vs. OAK)- Really coming alive, and this is a great match-up.
12. Marion Barber(vs. TB)- Really bad situation against great defense without Romo, though he is a monster.
13. Maurice Jones-Drew(vs. CLE)- Cleveland has been okay against run, but Mojo has been turning it on.
14. Deuce McAllister(vs. SD)- They may have to lean heavy on the Deuce with Bush out. Can his knees hold up?
15. Brandon Jacobs(@PIT)- Really bad match-up, but this guy is a stud.
16. Michael Turner(@PHI)- Bad match-up, but you can't really bench him.
17. Jamal Lewis(@JAX)- Has been solid lately, but not exciting.
18. LenDale White(vs. IND)- Will be lucky if he scores as many fantasy points during the rest of the season as he did last week, but this is a good match-up.
19. Jonathan Stewart(vs. ARI)- Has been pretty money for TDs, and should squeak one out again this week.
20. Cedric Benson(@HOU)- Yes, he sucks, but this is a good match-up and he should get the bulk of the carries.
