A bunch of backs are coming off bye weeks. Matt Asiata looked great and rookie teammate Jerick McKinnon did too. They hit the road on a short week with a banged up rookie QB. I don’t expect a repeat of week 4.
1. LeVeon Bell @ Jacksonville

3. Matt Forte @ Carolina
4. Rashad Jennings vs Atlanta
5. DeMarco Murray vs Houston
6. Andre Ellington @ Denver

I don’t like Donald Brown this week. Jeremy Hill and Blount could be nice flex plays this week. I’m not very high on Minnesota this Thursday. Arian Foster is a real wild card. The hamstring seems like it’s going to linger. If Blue is the Starter, I would put him in the lower end of this list. I like Crowell to be the guy who comes out on top of the rotation this week.
