Antonio Andrews, RB, Tennessee Titans

Whew, recommending a Titans running back is not for the faint of heart. However, I do subscribe to the notion that starting running backs should be owned based on potential opportunity. And in Nashville, there appeared to be a new starting running back in town after Week 3.

After lighting up the Bucs in Week 1, Bishop Sankey promptly followed that game up with an absolute clunker against the porous Cleveland Browns run defense in Week 2, affording Antonio Andrews the opportunity to carry the rock in Week 3 against the Colts. And while he wasn't exactly electrifying, he did handle his opportunity fairly well, rushing for 49 yards on 12 carries to go with an 8-yard touchdown, and nearly securing a second touchdown that was called back due to a penalty.

Andrews' availability is a near certainty in your league, and he got 65% of the team's total running back touches in Week 3. While Ken Whisenhunt may consistently try to ride the hot-hand in the Titans' backfield, it’s clear that the owner of said hot hand, at least for now, is Andrews and not Sankey.
