irish Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Obviously this was prompted by Avernus' post. So regardless of which 5 players might drop out of the Top 10 RBs... List players that you can see ending up in the Top 10. I'll add mine as I go but one would be (Remember basing this on PPR).... Adrian Peterson Thomas Jones Travis Henry (not in my Top 10 now) Cedic Benson Ronnie Brown Clinton Portis Carnell Williams Maurice Jones-Drew Edited August 1, 2007 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Edgerrin James Reggie Bush Maurice Jones-Drew Tatum Bell Marshawn Lynch Those would be mine I think. In that order. Edit: ok, didn't know this was PPR. Adjusted accordingly. Edited August 1, 2007 by Sturphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 wow...umm...right now I'd have to obviously add .... Adrian Peterson Thomas Jones Maurice Jones-Drew DeAngelo Williams Ahman Green right now it's tough...I kind of wish I said Tomlinson and Jackson were to go down so I could say Leonard and Turner would crack the top 10...

kerwin8 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I could see Edge making a comeback this year... probably towards the bottom of the top 10 though. I definitely agree with you on Travis Henry. If Warrick Dunn goes down early in the season, Norwood has a legitimate shot to break into that crowd, too.

I started seeing some flash from Arrington in AZ...but 1st their OL needs to show something.... but if Edge went down, I think Arrington could show something.....IF the OL can be even decent... and I almost put Norwood onto my list, but I think the ATL offense will have a tough time of it....but only time will tell..

DexterDew Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like Brown Benson Jones-Drew Barber DeAngelo Williams (possibly Norwood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Warrick Dunn goes down early in the season, Norwood has a legitimate shot to break into that crowd, too. Some of the guys I thought about as well. This is what makes FF so great, you just don't know. But somebody (at least 1 guy) will get a steal in every draft taking a player (RB) way after his production over the following year will dictate he should've been. Frank Gore last year and when it comes to other positions like WR, you have to think Colston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like Brown Benson Jones-Drew Barber DeAngelo Williams (possibly Norwood) Isn't he reitred? I don't know that will be interesting though in Dallas. JJ wants the rock, so does Barber. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Barber more than JJ..always have..... of course...you never know.. and Marshawn Lynch is another name that can definately crack the top 10 if the Buffalo offense clicks outside of Losman to Evans....

Everyone is an expert in July. Formulating opinions on players and the draft are my favorite part of all this. Edit: I added Lynch to my list after reading that it's PPR. There seems to be a lot of talk about him in the passing game. Edited August 1, 2007 by Sturphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Word out of Panther camp is that DeAngelo is thriving so far in the new OT scheme and the OT actually has had the DT on it's toes more than often so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReturnToSender Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like : Henry T.

Brentastic Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wow, no love for Brandon Jacobs? The fact that he will be the guy and has one of the easier rushing schedules makes me think he could crack the top 10. He's also HUGH and runs a 4.4 - 40. What's not to love? I would say Lynch but Buffalo has the toughest rushing schedule and their O-line needs to prove they are better with the offseason additions. I like Ronnie Brown - LT's old O-coordinator as head coach and I believe they still have tha O-line guru down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Who is that O-line coach that is a guru? Hudson Hawk or something like that ahaha not sure...I always liked Jacobs if he could keep his fumbling to a minimum.... and if he can NOT stand upright when running as he is too big a target for his running style IMO.... and before I open up a whole new discussion for someone to step in....the upright running style can work...I just don't see Jacobs lasting with this style... he IS a beast, though..

DexterDew Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Marion Barber with get the 2/3rd of the touches in DAL if JJ is still there, and that puts him in the 1,200 yards rushing and another 400 in recieving. Conservative TDs at 12. JJ would be the change of pace and rest. I have Barber at the borderline of the Top 10. I don't know if Jacobs can carry the majority load, but he is a freak....

Brentastic Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Do you know something the rest of us don't, or are you just speculating?

My only knock against Jacobs fantasy wise is that I like a guy who can break off a big run at any time. I think we'll see a bunch of straight, brusing medium yardage gains, but I just don't see him getting too many long runs. I think he'll end up around 15-20th best fantasy RB.
