What NFL Running Backs get 70% of the carries or more?

Question

i need this for fantasy football purposes .. the ones i came up with so far are:

Tomlinson

Adrian Peterson

Steven Jackson

Westbrook

Addai

Barber

Gore

Portis

Lynch

Larry Johnson

Ryan Grant

Willis Mcgahee

Jamal Lewis

Edgerrin James

Lendale White

Ahman Green

have i missed anyone or is anyone above expected to have a smaller share of carries this season

Answer 1

I'd take Peterson, Barber, White, Green, and maybe even Portis off that list. They all do running back by comittee. Peterson splits carries down the middle with Taylor. Barber will do the same with Jones. White splits carries with like 2 other guys. Portis might get 70% but I am not sure. I know Cartwright and Betts get alot of carries in Washington as well. Its ok to pick them up just make sure you grab their backup. Like if you end up with Peterson, Chester Taylor should a priority for you to pick up. Same with the others.

Answer 2

this year u can add

DAREN MCFADDEN to the list

believe

Answer 3

Tomlinson no doubt because the passing game isn't that good.

Answer 4

you missed willie parker of the steelers and as he already said maroney also i think ronnie brown on the dolphins will get a lot of carries if he stays healthy

Answer 5

Ranking would be Westbrook,Tomlinson, Peterson, Jackson, Mcgahee, and Gore.

Note Maroney will get 70+% of the carries, btu 70+% of the Pats plays will be passing, so he would not be a good choice. Plus the Pats have Lamont Jordan now to help carry the load.

Answer 6

Tomlinson, Steven Jackson, Westbrook, Gore, and Mcgahee. You missed Maroney

Answer 7

Addai will likely see a more reduced role now that they have Rhodes back Colts like fresh backs I would say right around 70%

Barber will be splitting carries with jones around 60-40?

Adrian Peterson hasnt stayed healthy a whole year since his freshman year of college and he shares carries with Chester Taylor anyways

Ryan Grant could see playing time diminish with Brandon back

Lendale will def see less carries with rookie Johnson

Ahman Green cant stay healthy and would be more of a 60-40 even if healthy.

Some people said Maroney but is Morris and Faulk are healthy he doesnt get close to 70%. And Willie Parker has a rookies to share carries with another 60-40.

Steven Jackson is still holding out.....

Thomas Jones of the Jets gets more than 70%. And depends on the year but if the Broncos find a solid RB (hasnt happened in the past few years) they basically run him to death so Selvin Young could be a candidate.

Tomlinson, Westbrook, Gore, Portis, Lynch, Johnson, McGahee, Lewis, James are the only ones left anymore and you can expect some to get injured because of this.

Hope that helps. More than percent of carries you want to focus on goalline carries. Like if Addai get most of the carries but Rhodes get red zone carries it makes him worth a lot less. Also stay away from injury prone guys.  

Answer 8

Edgerrin James will have the best % this year. Simple who is there 2nd back? Tim Hightower, enough said.
