Notes
~Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, it's like choosing between Jessica Alba or Megan Fox. The reason I chose AD over CJ is because Barry Sanders had the best season following a 2000+ yard rushing campaign. He ran for 1491 yards a year after rushing for 2053 yards. I expect AD to run for well over 1500 yards.
~I'm not too worried about DeAngelo Williams' production with Jonathan Stewart breathing down his neck.
~It's breakout time for Rashard Mendenhall, Shonn Greene, and Felix Jones.
~This is Ronnie Brown's last chance to be a stud RB...and stay healthy.
~Jamal Charles and Jerome Harrison were very hot ending last season, and will be popular draft targets. I'm not quite sold on either of them being a stud to ride your team on. Charles now has Thomas Jones to help keep him fresh (interpretation - steal carries from him), and Harrison certainly will not be able to keep up the pace he ended last season with, over an entire season--he also has James Davis and Chris Jennings to help keep him fresh. Neither one of these guys have the body or stamina to be a 16 game workhorse.
~Obviously, the Chargers will draft a RB to either compliment Darren Sproles or keep him in more of a third-down RB, scatback role. The most likely candidate the Chargers will draft to start over Sproles is Ryan Matthews out of Fresno State.
~I fully expect Marion Barber to either get traded or be relegated to a short-yardage role. Felix Jones only has to stay healthy to prove himself worthy of being a starter and primary ball-carrier for the Cowboys.
~Safely take Fred Jackson over Marshawn Lynch, but expect some ineptness on the god-awful Bills offense from either RB.
~I want to rank Reggie Bush higher, but I have learned my lesson over the last three seasons. Even with Mike Bell leaving for Philly, I would expect the Saints to bring in another big RB to compliment Pierre Thomas, probably during the draft.
~Justin Fargas is gone from the Raiders, which means I absolutely love Michael Bush's value. Target him in the later rounds.
~Expect the Chargers, Seahawks, Patriots, and possibly the Redskins, Dolphins, Giants, and Lions to address their RB position with a premier RB early in the NFL draft. Do I need to tell you how that would effect the values of RBs currently on those teams?
~Kevin Smith may start the season on the PUP, hence his low ranking and Maurice Morris' and Aaron Brown's higher rankings.
~That's right...Clinton Portis at 42. He is a walking injury report.
~Many people are speculating that the Texans are considering a RB early in their draft. I think Arian Foster did enough to acquire at least a short-yardage role.
~Notice a few players from my recent Post-season Exercises ~ Returning From Injuries article? James Davis and Andre Brown can be had toward the end of your drafts.
~Don't worry too much about anyone after Bernard Scott at 60.
~Jacob Hester is listed as the current compliment to Darren Sproles, but that should change after the NFL draft.
~Brian Westbrook can improve his value with a new home.
