Good top ten logically.......although Domanick Davis makes my top ten and McGahee is going to be more in the 13-15 range for me. I think Davis has the green light now to explode this year in an improved offense.

 

Also, McAllister won't be the #14 guy with Bush there, nor will Foster be #20 with Williams there. I would drop those two. Otherwise, logically, most of your rankings make sense......I think Warrick Dunn should be top twenty also.

well Deuce is my question.

Some kid named Bush is there. I happen to be a Deuce owner, but I am not expecting him to be that high.

Splitting time in a crowded backfield with McAllister means he'll be relegated to his USC role as a 3rd down back. No way in hell he's better than Jamal Lewis, Chester Taylor, Willie Parker or Domanick Davis...though depending what happens with Duckett, Bush might well give Dunn a run for his money - if Duckett is gone, then no way Bush competes with him.

 

Sorry - I have Bush out of my top 20 since he's on the Saints, with a bad O-Line, a QB with questionable health and a defense that may or may no be improved.

 

I think as good as Bush is, NO blew it by not dealing down and taking D'Brickshaw, since that was the biggest need.

 

 

He also has Edge at #4 and again at #6.............

 

 

Because THAT is how good Edge will be.

[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon 0]

I'm suprised nobody has DeAngelo Williams in the top 20. I'd figure he is their starter, not DeBroken Bones Foster.

[Super Cubs 154]

Its a good list but I think I would put Benson in some where between 10-20. You don't get paid to ride the pine.

[jdswan922 0]

Call me crazy, but I think Addai ends up in the top 20, probably somewhere between 15 and 20, with the potential to be top 15.

He is someone I will be watching close during camp.

 

I'm also surprised on the lack of love for Dillon. He was the 16th best RB last year. He had a down year, but I think he bounces back and represents a possible sleeper at RB#2.

[SmartassBoiler 0]

I dunno how you can rank Caddy below McGahee. Both are quite talented, but just look at the surrounding offense. The surrounding offense has been the main reason that players like Barlow and McGahee have been big busts the last two years.

[mdm_1971 0]

looks good, but I would have SA dropped to 3 move lt and lj up to the 1-2 spots because everybody knows the Madden jinx and he is the coverboy this time around, also just got his deal. I would have D.Davis in top 10. otherwise not bad list

[Gepetto 1,365]

I completely left Rudi Johnson off the list on accident. I have him ranked at #12.

 

One more thing, for this post about fantasy football! Tired of hearing about the draft and the rookies. 60 - 75% of the rookies won't do !$@#.

[ggroovy17 0]

Out of SA, LT, and LJ, they all have question marks this year. SA with no Hutch, LJ with no Tony Richardson, and LT with no passing game. I think i'd put SA first because they have alot of depth on the offensive line, plus Seattle is going to score alot of points this year.

For one, McGahee, and Julius Jones are NOT top 10 running backs. How do you not have Tiki or Portis in the top 9?

[ShaneFalco 0]

Not if Chris Perry is there.

 

Chris Perry just had surgery on his knee.

 

And also people think Perry has WAY more of an impact than he actually does.

 

Rudi is the next Edge. Solid back in a prolific offense.

It wasn't major surgery, he'll be back. Why don't you look up how many TD's Rudi had when Perry was in the lineup. I had Rudi last year and he had like 2 td's in 8 weeks!

[ShaneFalco 0]

Perry is nothing more than a third-down back. This is not a RBBC. Just because Perry was a first-round pick, people think he's better than Rudi. Look at the numbers.

 

Rudi

337 attempts

1458 yards

12 TDs

 

Perry

61 attempts

279 yards

0 TDs

 

The only thing Perry has over Rudi is receiving, hence him being a 3rd down back.

 

Pass on Rudi, you'll regret it.

[shredhead 21]

Uh, Every list in this thread is flawed. I seriously doubt that the Broncos won't have a back in the top 20. I don't know who will be toting the rock, (Dayne??, Bell??, other??) but a spot in the top 20 needs to be reserved for the Denver runningback.

[XToday 0]

1) Alexander ('Ol Reliable)

2) Larry Johnson (Does KC have a passing offense, yet?)

3) L.T. (Phillip Rivers, ladies and gentlemen. 10 men in the box with 2 spying Gates)

4) Tiki Barber (It's his last year in the top 10, enjoy while you can)

5) Portis (Gibbs finally figured out how to use him)

6) Ronnie Brown (Only if he gets used more in the passing game, as he should be)

7) Westbrook (Best receiver on the team again)

8) Cadillac Williams (Only if Simms progresses quickly)

9) Lamont Jordan (With a healthy Moss, can't stack the line)

9b) Denver Running Back 'x' (just for you Shredhead. But if it's Dayne, drop this ranking down to about 18)

10) Edgerrin James (Sorry fellas, AZ's not Indy. Not yet at least.)

11) Reggie Bush (This is the lowest he'll be ranked for many years)

12) McGahee (3 yards and a cloud of dust, but do it 40 times a game and that's 120yards)

13) Ahman Green (One last hurrah)

14) Steven Jackson (Until he's hurt)

15) W. Parker (Has the potential to be higher, but let me see some more first)

16) Jamal Lewis (...and this may be too generous.)

17) J. Addai (Dominick Rhodes? Uh, no... Unfortunately it will take Indy half a season to figure it out.)

18) C. Taylor (Could be a sleeper)

19) Julius Jones (Probably should be higher, but I would avoid him like the plague for now)

20) Dominick Davis (The Houston Texans)

[Swagger 0]

Call me crazy, but I think Addai ends up in the top 20, probably somewhere between 15 and 20, with the potential to be top 15.

 

I think Indy will be back to the pass happy days with Manning and no I don't see Addai in the top 15 at best it is RBBC. Rhodes has done decent enough to get a shot at starter, so Addai would be working towards a top 15 UPHILL.

That is the way I see Indy too. Manning will be around 40 TD's this year and Addai and Rhodes will be splitting the ones out of the backfield. I think this will be a nightmare from a fantasy perspective, but I like Addai for the Colts.

Rudi is the next Edge. Solid back in a prolific offense.

 

After looking at the stats, Perry does take away from his carries some. Yet, Rudi still averaged 21.8 carries a game. Plus about 1-2 catches out of the backfield.

 

The Perry impact is overrated.

People leaving Rudi out of their top 10 is ridiculous. Not the in the top 20 is just insane.

I'm predicting a very good season.

I am hearing that they plan on Rhodes and Addai splitting carries, however if you read Polian's comment it seems like that is only temporary...

 

"He and Dominic will probably share time. At least, that's the way we see it now..."

 

I think that once Addai gets accustomed to the speed of the NFL game and the Colts' playbook they will split carries. As the season wears on, however, I see Addai taking the primary role.

 

As for the Colts and Manning passing more, if you look at Edge's 2004 season, they will still find plenty of carries for their RBs. In fact, this would make it easier for the RBs, as they will see fewer defenders in the box. That would allow a player like Addai to utilize his speed to get into the secondary.

 

Just my opinion.

I agree with this. I am thinking now that Addai is going to be starting week 1, with Rhodes spelling him / 3rd down back. But it all depends on how Addai picks up the offence

Nice list XToday, but Westbrook at number 7? Buckhalter should finally be healthy and should take the goal line carries. I'd switch Steven Jackson with Westbrook. I do however, like that you had Ronnie Brown at six, he's definitely in the top ten. I'd put L. White in there somewhere too, maybe in place of C. Taylor.
