Adrian Peterson against Cleveland. The path for two thousand yards kicks off in Cleveland. Expect Peterson to get hold of the ball hasty and frequently and destroy this Browns’ defensive unit for more than 150 rushing yards and two TDs. Mangini’s impact will certainly make for a further regimented defense in ’09, but it will not transpire on opening day and it won’t take place versus the most talented |fantasy nfl running back.
Maurice Jones-Drew against. the Colts. Check in before the game starts, however if MJD is past his shin injury he was hit with in the preseason finale, look for him to rip apart this undersized Colts’ defense. Really, MJD has always come up big when playing vs. the Colts, and this time he won’t be sharing carries with Fred Taylor. One hundred rush yards and at a minimum one TD.
Pierre Thomas vs. Detroit Lions. Thomas ought to have a bunch of opportunities to run with the football against the Lions after the Saints jump out to a giant lead. And playing vs. a defensive unit which ranks at the cellar of the NFL, one hundred rushing yards with a touchdown or two seem certainly attainable.
Michael Turner vs Miami. Atlanta and their powerful offense begin the season versus last year’s year’s surprise franchise, the Miami Dolphins. And look for Atlanta to stay with what made the team so dangerous a year ago: the rush. Turner must see the football at a minimum of twenty five times during this one and that ought to be sufficient to hit the hundred yard mark with a minimum of 1 TD.
Cedric Benson vs Denver Broncos. The interior of the Broncos defense this past season had a hole as vast as the Atlantic Ocean, and they did not do much to address it this year. Benson finished off ’08 incredibly strong and will attempt to resume where he ended off. A nice fantasy sleeper selection in week one.
Chris “Beanie” Wells vs the San Francisco niners. Wells will have an opportunity to kick off his career with a bang versus the san francisco 49ers. While the Niners have a solid set of linebackers, their defensive line is little, and that means that the Arizona blockers will have a chance to get to the second echelon and create good running lanes for Wells.
