For our first projections of running backs, we’ll use a “collective wisdom of crowds” approach. Our partner, playthisguy.com, has surveyed 18 fantasy football sources and come to a consensus ranking on how running backs should perform in Week 3.
Fantasy Football Week 3 Running Back Projections: Arian Foster Or Ben Tate? Will Chris Johnson Break Out?
A few weeks into the fantasy football season, and we’re starting to get real numbers to use for projections. See who should perform in Week 3.
Ray Rice gets the nod this week as the top guy. Of greater interest may be Chris Johnson of Tennessee. He's started 2011 awfully slow, causing great consternation for those owners that used a very high pick to draft him. This Sunday he gets the Denver defense; the experts think this week he'll bust out and rank him fourth.
Of course, Arian Foster owners are left to debate his readiness for the third straight week. Foster has been limited in practice with his hamstring injury, and if he'll play and how many carried he would get if he did are huge questions. The experts recommend Ben Tate for the Texans, he's produced in Foster's absence and they like him as the 11th-ranked running back.
