Rankings are based on common league scoring settings -- settings like these.

Movers

Reggie Bush:  UP - Should keep racking up the receptions with Colston out.

Chris Johnson:  UP - Had as many carries as LenDale White in Week 1.

Sammy Morris:  UP - He's back to poaching carries from Maroney and will be valuable in the passing game.

Justin Fargas:  UP - Holding off McFadden for the staring role so far.

Willie Parker: UP - Already has more TDs than all of last year.

Matt Forte: UP - Had a great debut against the Colts.

Laurence Maroney:  DOWN - Morris is stealing carries and is used more in the passing game.

Willis McGahee:  DOWN - Ravens leaning toward a platoon situation.

Darren McFadden:  DOWN - How soon can he push Fargas out of the way?

Rashard Mendenhall:  DOWN - Parker suddenly not seeming so vulnerable to having carries taken away by Mendenhall.

Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown:  DOWN - Williams quickly lost the upper hand. It's now anyone's guess if either of these two will emerge with more carries and which guy it will be.

You will always find the most current rankings on the right side of the page under the "Fantasy player rankings" section.
