Royce Freeman looks like he's starting to come into his own. With a strong performance this week I'll move him above Lindsay. The Rams showed us last week that when it's a big time game he's getting the goal line carries. Even with a lead Gurley was still "the man". He's moving up my rankings even more next week if this becomes a trend. Keep an eye on Dare Ogunbowale, I'll leave that right there. Just like last season true work horse running backs are hard to come by. I hope you avoided the zero running back theory and did what real men do, draft running backs early and often. Good luck guys and be sure to work your waivers. Week 3 and 4 produce some of the best season long pickups so keep your eyes pealed. I'll email all subs my top pickups Monday. Good luck this week!
