" Zac Stacy isn't No. 1 on Athlon Sports' fantasy football Week 10 running back rankings, but the rookie is a top-10 option following back-to-back impressive performances. After posting 134 yards rushing on \"Monday Night Football\" against Seattle in Week 8, Stacy followed that up with 127 yards on the ground this past Sunday against Tennessee. Next up for Stacy is a road trip to Indianapolis to play the Colts, who are allowing 125 yards rushing per game.Another running back who went for more than 100 yards last week was Adrian Peterson. After gaining 150 yards rushing in his previous three games combined, the reigning MVP busted out against Dallas for 140 yards, including an impressive 11-yard touchdown in which he carried several would-be Cowboy tacklers into the end zone. So while Stacy has recorded back-to-back 100-yard games, the first of his career, Peterson has three this season and a total of 40 since making his NFL debut in 2007. He could add to that total on Thursday when the Vikings host the Redskins. Washington is giving up 117 yards rushing per game, one of the reasons why \"All Day\" is our No. 1 running back in Week 10.The other storyline involving running backs this week is, once again, injuries. Arian Foster (back), Darren McFadden (hamstring) and Darren Sproles (concussion) all left their games early last week because of an injury. All three are very questionable to play in Week 10, which could mean more opportunities for Ben Tate, Rashad Jennings and Pierre Thomas, respectively. It also means if you own any of these backs you need to pay close attention to the injury reports before setting your lineup.Each week during the NFL season, we will rank enough players at each position to appease everyone from those in 8-team leagues to 16-team leagues, those that can start two QBs, two TEs, three RBs and four WRs. We cut out the rest, because if you're looking at who the 50th-best running back or the 17th-best kicker is for that week, you need more help than any website can give you.2013 NFL Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings &amp;mdash; Running BackTeams on bye: Cleveland, Kansas City, New England, New York JetsRkPlayerTeamOPPNotes1Adrian PetersonMINvs. WAS (Thurs.)Broke out (140, TD) vs. Cowboys last week.2Matt ForteCHIvs. DETCame up big on MNF (179 total yds., TD) vs. GB.3Marshawn LynchSEAat ATLBack to Beast Mode (125 yds.) vs. Bucs.4Eddie LacyGBvs. PHIWill be leaned on even more w/ Rodgers out.5Reggie BushDETat CHIBears gave up 199 yards rushing to GB on MNF.6Knowshon MorenoDENat SDChargers allowing nearly five yards per carry.7LeSean McCoyPHIat GBJust 44 yds. rushing, but caught 1st TD vs. Raiders.8Alfred MorrisWASat MIN (Thurs.)Season-high 25 carries, 121 yards vs. Chargers.9Chris JohnsonTENvs. JACCJ finally broke through (150, 2 TD) vs. Rams.10Zac StacySTLat INDRookie has 261 yards rushing over last 2 games.11C.J.
