Question

If you put any player that is first or second tier, you are a dumbass!

Answer 1

I'd go with lorenzo booker

Answer 2

Top Ten 3rd & 4th Tier RBs

1. Ricky "puff puff" Williams (Dolphins)-Ronnie Brown coming off a serious knee, will carry a light load early in the season and Ricky whenever he plays is a stud.

2. Chester Taylor (Vikings)-Adrian Peterson is my favorite RB, but he is also one of the most injury prone in the league. His hardcore running style will leave him with a short, yet impactful career.

3. Edgerrin James (Cards)-Yes, James is a third tier back going in the 7th to 8th round of most mock drafts. With those WR core he will seldom see 8 men in the box. Now its up to Leinart to put up or sit down.

4. Ahmad Bradshaw (GMen)-Watch out for the low budget Tiki Barber to emerge as BJacobs has yet to prove he can stay healthy and carry the load. Ahmad is clearly a force whenever he touches the ball.

5. Rashard Mendenhall (Steelers)-In my opinion the best RB in the draft playing in the perfect offense to suit his talents. No one knows how effective Fast Willie P will be. If he is not 101% he will share carries and with that could end up losing is starting job to this freak of nature. If this happens move Mendenhall to number 1, he is durable, strong like an ox, and fast as h**l ie. a young Jamal Lewis/Edge.

6. Cadillac Williams (Tampa Bay)-Look for the caddy to pull out of the garage early in the season and by mid-season grab his starting job back. Earnest Graham is a good runner and a pounder, but Gruden can be loyal-to a fault.

7. Leon Washington (Jets)-Arguably the most talented back in the Jets backfield, if TJones cant get the job done early the Jets will want to see what Leon can do behind the revamped OLine. This is a deep sleeper, but he is already the most explosive and best hands out of the backfield. The signings of Jesse Chapman and Musa Smith show that the Jets are preparing to bench to TJones if he is ineffective again.

8. Ray Rice (Ravens)-If McGahee gets hurt this guy will be a stud and can do it all . He will be a must handcuff for McGahee drafters. After the pounding McGahee took last year Rice will be counted on to share some carries while Balt figures out their QB situation.

9. LaMont Jordan (Raiders)-This guy was the best RB in Fantasy last year until he hurt his back and then was basically an afterthought. If somehow he can find his way back into the starting lineup dont be surprised if he pops off again. This is a deep sleeper as they get.

10. Kevin Jones (Bears)-Matt Forte is an undersized RB and dare I say a wimp. He has a smooth running style but is not tough and will suck in pass protection, he is not strong. Adrian Peterson couldnt even beat out Cedric the alcoholic, so KJ will emerge by default. I predict he will be a star in Chicago and will one of those dark horse dudes who emerges late in his career ala Priest Holmes/Tiki Barber. Kid has talent and can do it all.

Good luck in 2008!

Answer 3

I go with Chester taylor i have him on my team and AP is injury prone

Answer 4

I'd say Adrian Peterson from the Chicago Bears he is backing up Matt Forte and Kevin Jones,he is a solid special teams player and can rush decent when needed.

Answer 5

I would go with Mewelde Moore of the Vikings because he is a great kick returner.

Answer 6

Not sure what you're defining as a "tier", but assuming you're talking about a 12 team league where each team starts 2 RBs, I'll define it as RBs ranked lower than #24.

That said, I like Selvin Young, Ronnie Brown, and as a somewhat sleeper, Justin Fargas.
