Doubt LdT, Pay: Week Four Fantasy Running Back Rankings

FanHouse fantasy positional rankings are compiled weekly by the staff in order to provide answers to possible lineup questions. These are assuming most leagues use Fleaflicker's standard scoring structure. If you need clarification, or have funky league rules, feel free to shoot us an email question.

We all should have seen it coming. LaDanian Tomlinson is still the best fantasy football player of this era ... but we flocked to Darren Sproles last week and wondered is number 21 had lost a step. He decided to prove us wrong with a solid 20+ point outing, despite being a bit hampered by a toe injury. I'll never doubt again.

- Jonathan Stewart is injured, but it's mild and he should play. If he does -- he will -- then he's going to shred a pathetic Falcons defense that couldn't even hold down Kevin Smith. He's your best value of the week.

- I like Ryan Grant to have his '08 coming out party this week. Just a hunch, really.

- I'll openly admit I'm slotting Michael Turner too low this week. He's just performed at far too high a level thus far against two horrible opponents. The descent begins this week.

- Selvin Young is a good sleeper against the pathetic Chiefs. He's liable to break a long one, even with his 10 or so touches.

- Rashard Mendenhall, welcome to the NFL ... says the staunch Ravens run defense.

- Yes, Larry Johnson still sucks.
