Now that we’ve hit the busy season for fantasy drafts, many owners are now taking the next step and setting their week 1 lineups.

Today we present a piece from DavidGonos.com that profiles five RBs that could struggling coming out of the gates due to difficult schedules.

The loss of Brandon Marshall to Chicago will make Reggie Bush the focal point of first year head coach Joe Philbin’s offense. Bush enjoyed a breakout season in 2011 but as defenses are no able to focus more on the run game he might be in for a rude awakening with a rookie QB under center and one of the more anemic WR corps in the league.
