Name |
Notes |
|
Chris Johnson |
Very good o-line but very little depth; looks like his contract
situation has been resolved; looks as determined as last year to
break NFL rushing record. |
|
Adrian Peterson |
Got about 70% of team's carries in last 2 yrs; same o-line but less
depth; started catching more passes in 2009; could lose TDs to
Gerhart |
|
Maurice Jones-Drew |
Has missed 1 game in 4 yrs but has slight knee problems; still has a
good o-line; gets all the carries and TDs in JAX; career 4.66 YPC
for 842 carries. |
|
Ray Rice |
Averaged 18 CAR/G in final 12 games; huge upside if he starts
getting TDs; addition of Boldin - fewer receptions; improved o-line
& good depth. |
|
Frank Gore |
89% of RB carries in final 11 games; better o-line but YPC was
inflated last year because of a few very long carries; 16 games only
once in 5 yrs. |
|
Steven Jackson |
Improved o-line; most touches of top RBs; played 16 games only once
in 6 yrs; got all 4 of Rams rush TDs in 2009, they'll score more in
2010. |
|
Michael Turner |
Improved o-line; won't get many receptions - limited upside in PPR;
somewhat of an injury risk; should get 19-20 carries per game like
last year. |
|
Jamaal Charles |
161 carries for 968 yds in final 8 games - huge upside; o-line is
similar but not much depth; addition of Thomas Jones is a slight
concern. |
|
Rashard Mendenhall |
True #1 RB; only RB to score rush TDs with Pittsburgh in 2009;
offense is questionnable with injury to RG Colon and Big Ben
situation - risky. |
|
Pierre Thomas |
Split is about 65-35 with Bush; Betts and Hill will steal a few;
never had more than 150 carries; more involved in pass game in 2nd
half; great o-line. |
|
LeSean McCoy |
#1 RB but will split with Mike Bell; can shine as a pass catcher in
this offense (90 catches for Westbrook in 2007); Bell will likely
get goal line touches. |
|
Ryan Grant |
Similar o-line but very good depth; only 15 of GB's 31 rush TDs in
last 2 yrs; played every game in last 2 yrs; not very involved in
passing game. |
|
Knowshon Moreno |
Split was 63-37 with Buckhalter when both played in 2009; he should
get a bigger share this year; will continue to get the goal line
carries; injury is a slight concern. |
|
Matt Forte |
Him and Taylor will split about 300 carries, we'll have to wait find
out about split; very good pass catching back; should get goal line
touches. |
|
DeAngelo Williams |
Split with Stewart has been similar over last 2 yrs when both play:
62/38; started losing TDs to Stewart; o-line has little depth. |
|
Joseph Addai |
67-33 split with Brown when both played last year; Brown's role will
increase and he could steal some goal line carries; will still catch
a lot of balls. |
|
Ryan Mathews |
Will be the #1 RB; SD RBs had 385 carries in 2009 even with a 3.5
YPC; LT2 had 8 straight seasons of 290+ carries; only 19 catches in
college career. |
|
Cedric Benson |
23 carries per game as #1 RB in Cincy; averages 12 games per year in
5 yrs - MUST handcuff (B. Scott); big upside if Cincy offense picks
it up; offense will be more balanced this year. |
|
Arian Foster |
Will enter camp as the starter; Slaton will be at the very least the
3rd down back; looked good in final 2 games last year; hasn't proven
anything yet. |
|
Ronnie Brown |
59-41 split with Ricky in past 2 yrs; missed 16 games in last 3 yrs;
improved o-line with very good depth; safe pick if handcuffed. |
|
Clinton Portis |
Likely #1 RB but Shanahan is always a mystery with his RBs; one of
the most improved o-lines in the NFL; could be a top 10 RB if he's
the true #1. |
|
Jerome Harrison |
Cleveland will run often and has a solid o-line, we just don't know
who will get the ball; the winner of this battle could be a very
nice sleeper. |
|
Shonn Greene |
Jets won't run 600 times again; should be #1 RB; lots of competition
from LT2 and McKnight; won't catch many passes. |
|
Jahvid Best |
Slightly better o-line but little depth; lots of injuries in
college; looks to be the clear #1 starter, well ahead of Kevin
Smith. |
|
Reggie Bush |
Injury risk but not a huge risk because o-line has good depth and
you know he'll get his 50+ catches; pretty big upside if he stays
healthy. |
|
Tim Hightower |
Has value even if Wells takes over as #1 RB at some point; very good
pass catching RB; improved o-line with a lot of depth; should get a
number of goalline touches. |
|
Cadillac Williams |
63-37 split with Ward for weeks 5 to 16; TB should run much more in
2010; o-line depth is a concern; missed 22 games in past 3 yrs. |
|
C.J. Spiller |
Very crowded backfield; little depth on the o-line; 104 catches in
last 3 college yrs; will get the first crack at the #1 job with
Jackson and Lynch injured. |
|
Jonathan Stewart |
Improved last year because of Williams injury; o-line has little
depth; may be more involved in pass game and could become the TD guy
- big upside. |
|
Felix Jones |
Barber and Jones split pretty much 50-50 late last year, expect the
same in 2010 unless this battle clarifies in camp; needs to stay
healthy. |
|
Leon Washington |
Seattle RB competition is wide open; Washington may be worth taking
a chance on; seems to be the starter. |
|
Michael Bush |
Had 38 carries to McFadden's 24 in final 3 games with Fargas hurt;
should get goalline carries; very high upside if McFadden gets hurt. |
|
Chris Wells |
62-38 split with Hightower in final 10 games; we though he'd have a
bigger role this year but Hightower is apparently still #1;
excellent o-line; won't catch many passes; won't get all TDs. |
|
Marion Barber |
Barber and Jones split pretty much 50-50 late last year, expect the
same in 2010 unless this battle clarifies in camp; should get most
of the TDs. |
|
Brandon Jacobs |
55-45 split with Bradshaw from weeks 6 to 15; played through an
injury all of last year - should be better; hasn't stayed healthy in
last 4 yrs. |
|
Ricky Williams |
41-59 split with Ronnie in past 2 yrs; 33 yrs old but played every
game in last 2 yrs; improved o-line with very good depth. |
|
Ahmad Bradshaw |
45-55 split with Jacobs from weeks 6 to 15; excellent in 2009 but
hasn't been able to stay healthy; won't catch many passes. |
|
Darren McFadden |
Had 24 carries to Bush's 38 in final 3 games with Fargas hurt; could
catch a lot of passes in 2010; nice upside in PPR leagues if he can
stay healthy |
|
Darren Sproles |
Mathews is no where near as good as Tomlinson to catch the ball so
Sproles will get most of his touches that way; good backup in PPR
leagues. |
|
Steve Slaton |
Big disappointment after an excellent rookie season; Foster will
probably be the starter but Slaton should play an important role in
this offense. |
|
Justin Forsett |
Probably the best RB on the roster but will have to split with Jones
and Washington. The Seattle RB situation is really up in the air at
this point. |
|
LaDainian Tomlinson |
Will have a much better o-line in New York but is #2 behind Greene;
will probably be used as a 3rd down pass catching RB; possible goal
line RB. |
|
Donald Brown |
33-67 split with Addai when both played last year; his role will
increase and he could steal some goal line carries; receptions
should also increase. |
|
Fred Jackson |
Very crowded backfield; little depth on the o-line; will be out for
the first week or two of the regular season and could lose starting
job to Spiller. |
|
Laurence Maroney |
Maroney had 157 carries in 9 games from weeks 6 to 15 until he lost
his 4th fumble of the year in week 16 but we have no idea who will
start for the Pats. |
|
Correll Buckhalter |
Split was 37-63 with Moreno when both played in 2009; Moreno should
get a bigger share this year; had an impressive 5.3 YPC in 2009. |
|
Kevin Faulk |
Not a spectacular pick but gets his 60 carries and 40 catches almost
every year; good backup to have - he will get a couple of points
every week. |
|
Chester Taylor |
Him and Forte will split about 300 carries, we'll have to wait to
find out about split; will catch quite a few passes. |
|
Montario Hardesty |
Cleveland will run often and has a solid o-line, we just don't know
who will get the ball; the winner of this battle could be a very
nice sleeper. |
|
Kevin Smith |
Slightly better o-line but little depth; him and Best won't get much
more than 320-330 carries combined; recovering from knee and
shoulder injuries. |
|
Willis McGahee |
Won't get as many carries or TDs as last year; his fantasy value
relies on his TDs; will be inconsistent from week to week; great
value if Rice is hurt. |
|
Thomas Jones |
Will be the #2 RB behind Charles; will get most of his points from
TDs; probably a good handcuff to have; not much value if Charles is
healthy. |
|
Mike Bell |
Will split with McCoy but will still get a decent amount of carries;
will likely get goal line touches; not a great receiver; never
played 16 games. |
