Adrian Peterson v. the Browns. The road for two thousand yards kicks off in Cleveland. Expect Peterson to obtain the ball premature and habitually and slice this Cleveland defensive unit for more than 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. Mangini’s impact will undoubtedly make for a more disciplined defensive unit in 2009, although it will not transpire in week 1 and it won’t happen versus the premier |fantasy nfl RB.

MJD against. Indianapolis Colts. Look up the injury reports prior to game time, however if Jones-Drew is past the shin contusion he was hit with in the preseason finish, look for him to rip apart this puny Colts’ defense. Actually, MJD has always come up big when playing vs. Indianapolis, and this time he won’t be sharing reps with Fred Taylor. One hundred total yards and at least 1 TD.

Pierre Thomas versus Detroit. Thomas should see a bundle of chances to run with the ball against the Lions after New Orleans jumps out to a big lead. And playing against a defensive unit that finds itself near the bottom of the league, one hundred rush yards with a TD or 2 seem undoubtedly within reach.

Michael Turner vs. Miami Dolphins. Atlanta and their high octane offense commence the year vs. last season’s season’s Cinderella team, the Miami Dolphins. And expect Atlanta to stay with what made the team so dangerous a season ago: the run. Turner ought to carry the football at least 25 times in this one and that must be sufficient to hit the hundred yard mark with at least one touchdown.

Cedric Benson against Denver Broncos. The interior of the Broncos defense last year had a hole as big as the Atlantic Ocean, and they did not do a lot to address it this year. Benson finished off 2008 especially strong and will attempt to pick things up where he left off. A great fantasy sleeper selection in week one.

Chris “Beanie” Wells vs the San Francisco niners. Wells will have an opportunity to kick off his playing days with a bang vs the 49ers. While the San francisco 49ers boast a solid group of LBs, their defensive line is little, and that means that the Cards blockers will have a chance to get hold of to the second echelon and create nice running lanes for Wells.
