Matt Forte is one of my starting running backs and it's looking like he'll be out this week. He's listed as questionable, but sources are pessimistic about it. I have Willis McGahee, Donald Brown, David Wilson, and Mikel Leshoure on my bench.
McGahee - He's a good power back, but this is a PPR league and he really hasn't been active in the passing game. Plus, he'll be going up against a stingy Houston defense this week.
Brown - He's a Colt, but he's facing the Jags. The Colts won't need to score a lot of points this week, so they'll likely be giving Brown some touches.
Wilson - He's done absolutely nothing this season, well, except fumble the ball against Dallas. The flip side though is that Bradshaw is hurt and Wilson could be the guy tonight. Plus, Carolina isn't exactly renouned for their ability to stop running backs.
Leshoure - This is the first NFL game he'll ever play and he'll be sharing the load with a healthy Kevin Smith, who, let's be honest, has been quite productive. The flip side though is that Tennessee really hasn't been good on defense and Detroit should go up by enough to pound the football on offense.
