You have Jamal Lewis as a Tier 4 Back…
Is that because of the injury?

Interesting tier 3 with McFadden, Ricky Williams and Brandon Jacobs. I think L.J. will prove to be better than a tier 4 RB, we’ll see.

Advisor,
These are just tiers for the individual week, not tiers for the player for the entire season. The tiers are based a lot on the matchups. I think Johnson has a tough matchup with New England.
Thank you for the comment.
