Which rookie RB will have the best fantasy season?

Question

mendenhall, Stewart, or McFadden? which has the best opportunity to produce the best stats of the 3? which do you feel will do it? whether it be a gut feeling, or just a statistical reason, who do you feel will be the best?

Answer 1

I think that McFadden will be the best. Oakland has no good wr to catch the balll. Stewart has to deal with Steve Smith, Mushin Muhammed, and DJ Hackett. Plus a qb coming off of surgery. Mendenhall has to deal with Parker, Miller, Holmes, and Ward. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) on what type of year i think they will have.

McFadden- 7

Stewart- 5.5

Mendenhall- 4

Answer 2

If you are looking for RBs that can be had at great draft slots then you need to look past these guys and consider Forte (Bears) or Smith (Lions). Both will be pretty much unchallenged feature backs for their teams and both will count very heavily on their running games this year (the Bears because they cant pass...the Lions because they need to find ways to keep that pathetic defense off the field). I am deeply suspect of McFadden, love the talent but without running room he will have his work cut out for him and he has never been a workhorse back (will he wilt after 10-11 games?). Stewart has the ability and should be solid but will be drafted too high to be worth the risk and he is currently in a running back time share with Williams. Mendenhall could be a TD machine and will draft near Forte and Smith so he is a good pick, the Steelers dont give Fast Willie the ball near the goalline. But agin we are talking time share here as well, but the potential for 10-12 TDs is hard to look past.

I just dont like the draft positions that McFadden and Stewart are going in, too risky (but I really like Stewart and if you got a top 5 back in the 1st round he becomes a great gamble). Personally I am liking the potential of Kevin Smith, the Lions offensive line is average but they have 2 incredible receivers so teams will have to honor the pass so running room will be available and his only competition is Tatum Bell.

Answer 3

thats easy. McFadden will be the best rookie RB. he was a great player at arkansas at will keep it going. also his name isn't on here keep a watch on former rutgers RB ray rice he was good 2. he might start out slow at 1st but will show great talent later on in this season

Answer 4

Johnathan Stewart!

Hes getting the starting nod ahead of deangelo williams and will get 6-9 tds and rush for 900 plus yards

Answer 5

McFadden

Answer 6

Chris Johnson. Should get lots of carries after LenWhale White injures himself in the buffett line.

Answer 7

McFadden, Run DMC, Darren the Great!  He is the next Hall of Fame RB, regardless who he plays for.

I just hope he can get away from the Raiders as soon as his rookie contract is up.
