1. Melvin Gordon, LAC vs ARI (RB1) — Gordon will keep the No. 1 seat warm while Todd Gurley is on bye.
2. Alvin Kamara, NO vs ATL (RB2) — With the Saints offense rolling, Kamara should get the best of this plus matchup.
3. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL vs WAS (RB3) — Elliott has been on fire over his last three and that continues in this one.
4. Saquon Barkley, NYG @ PHI (RB4) — Barkley is arguably the league's top receiving running back and will get plenty of work against Philly.
5. James Conner, PIT @ DEN (RB5) — He's coming off a down week, but Conner is still a strong RB1 play.
6. Michael Thomas, NO vs ATL (WR1) — Thomas will see plenty of work, especially if Tre'Quan Smith can't play.
7. David Johnson, ARI @ LAC (RB6) — A disappointment for a good chunk of the season, Johnson is heating up at the right time.
8. Antonio Brown, PIT @ DEN (WR2) — Despite a tough matchup last week, Brown still found a way to deliver big fantasy numbers.
9. Julio Jones, ATL @ NO (WR3) — He's scored in three straight games and should benefit from gamescript.

13. Odell Beckham Jr., NYG @ PHI (WR5) — The Eagles secondary is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
