Articles::Week 4 Top 10 Running Backs (September 28, 2006)
Top Running Backs for Week 4
1. Larry Johnson
This week will reassure you about your decision to draft Johnson when he runs wild against the 49ers.2. Brian Westbrook
Westbrook should find plenty of running room against the Packers. If you're in a points per reception league, Westbrook may be the best running back in your league this week.3. Ronnie Brown
Similar to Culpepper, this will be Brown's week to showcase his talents and help you remember why you drafted him. The Texans poor excuse for a defense should give Brown plenty of room to run.4. LaDainian Tomlinson
LT II may have his most difficult week of the year this week and he's still listed as our number 4 back! The Ravens defense is stingy but Tomlinson is still a great player and should still have a very productive week for you.5. Steven Jackson
Jackson will run wild on the Detroit defense this week and he should have a few catches as well.6. Rudi Johnson
Rudi is a key to the Bengals offense since the running game really opens up the passing game for Palmer. Expect more of the same from Johnson this week.7. Warrick Dunn
After being bottled up on Monday Night Football last week, expect Dunn to explode this week and put up stats like he did in weeks 1 and 2.8. Chester Taylor
Taylor should get plenty of carries in the poor Buffalo weather on Sunday and the smallish Buffalo defensive lineman should have a difficult time tackling him.9. Clinton Portis
Don't expect the same kind of week out of Portis that he had last week since he's playing the stout Jaguars defense, but he should still put up top 10 numbers anyway.10. Edgerrin James
James should get more carries this week since the Cardinals are having quarterback issues. Look for them to try to put the ball in James' hands more often because of Warner's recent turnover problems.
