This is probably as high as I'll be on Giovani Bernard all season. Detroit has been it's usual terrible self against the run, allowing 6 separate ball carrier to reach double digit fantasy points on the season and the only week they didn't allow a double digit scorer (Week 5 vs. Green Bay), Eddie lacy still rushed for 99 yards. RBs have rushed for 5 TDs on the ground and caught 3 via the air against them.Bernard and Green-Ellis could both reach pay dirt this weekend.
Bilal Powell is still the unquestioned lead back for the Jets, and with Mike Goodson out for the year with an ACL tear, coupled with New England's defensive injuries, he could easily reach 80-90 total yards and a TD. I like him as a strong RB2 this week.
I'm lower on Arian Foster than every documented expert at FantasyPros.com and I think I'm going to be correct here. Kansas City has yet to allow a RB to score a touchdown at Arrowhead Stadium and Foster has not yet scored a TD away from Reliant Stadium. He may get you 10 points in total yardage this week, but I have him at #23 as I feel he is a back end RB2 this week. You probably can't sit him, but you have to lower your expectations this week.
I was really tempted to have Jacquizz Rodgers higher on this list, but I just couldn't do it. He's among my best Flex options this week with Steven Jackson out again and Jason Snelling probably seeing a reduced role as he returns from a concussion.
Chris Ogbonnaya is a sneaky good play this week, as he has seen 5 or more targets out of the backfield in 3 of the last 4 weeks and reached paydirt in 2 of his last 3. If not for a concussion-related departure in Week 5, we might be talking more about him. Give him a look in PPR formats.

Keenan Allen is for real folks. I was on him the week he went off, I hyped him up further last week, and I am full blown on the bandwagon now. Expect Tier 1 production from him going forward. On the same note, if Eddie Royal is for some reason limited or unable to go, give Vincent Brown a bump from 33 to 26.
Green Bay is trying to make Cleveland believe that James Jones is going to play. I don't expect him to, but if he does, I think he's an appropriate WR3. If Jones is unable to go, Jarrett Boykin does not receive an additional bump up this list.
Roddy White will miss a game for the first time in his NFL career this week, and despite his absence and the season-ending injury to Julio Jones, neither of the new Atlanta starting WRs (Douglas and Davis) are anything more than prayers. Douglas is ranked where he is because he's the only WR target that has shown any flash in the past, although he has never scored a TD as a starter in the NFL.
I'm low on the passing game of Houston this week, which is why we find Andre Johnson at 28. He's a WR3 this week with Case Keenum starting against a ferocious Kansas City defense trying to prove they are legit.
Anquan Boldin is as low as he's going to be all season at 34 this week because Tennessee has been downright awful for opposing WRs. They have not allowed a starting receiver to reach 100 yards or the end zone since Week 2, when DeAndre Hopkins did both. San Fran is going to have to get a big game from Vernon Davis or do their dirty work on the ground to beat the Titans this weekend, which I think they will do.

Jay Cutler is a bonafide QB1 in the fantasy game under Marc Trestman's direction. He has delivered 240+ yards and multiple TD passes in 5 of 6 games and faces a Washington Redskins defense that has allowed multiple TD passes 3 times in 5 games and 350+ yards passing twice. The Bears are a legitimate offense in this league and I say start Cutty with confidence.
Nick Foles might win the Eagles' starting job permanently after this week. Michael Vick has a mysterious hamstring injury and Foles might just be the better fit for Chip Kelly's offense after all. I expect an Eagles win this weekend coupled with QB1 numbers for the 2nd year QB.
Josh Freeman is at 15 because of his matchup. I don't know how well he is grasping Minnesota's offense (although turn around and hand it to 28 shouldn't be too tough to learn), and I don't know how his chemistry has developed with his targets. I do know that the Giants stink, and that might be enough to get Freeman Top 15 numbers.
Baltimore-Pittsburgh will probably be a slug fest, 16-13 kind of game, and I don't see a lot of value in either signal caller. You can do better this week.
