This is for us dynasty players

I am looking for thought and options on current back up RBs or RBs that are currently in a RBBC that could get an opportunity to be a #1 RB in 2007 for their current NFL team or for another NFL team thru a trade or FA.

Like Holmes, C. Taylor and Jordon in past years.

Turner

M. Smith

Jones-Drew

Norwood

Addai

Morency

Barber

White

D. Williams

C. Brown

Maroney

Bush

Benson

Other

Who do you think will get an opportunity to be a #1 featured RB in 2007?

dillon's deal is up after this year so i like maroney the best.turner has big potential - but someone will have to work out a trade w/ the chargers - he's a restricted FA but im not sure that someone will def pony up a 1st and 3rd round pick for him - but at the same time i think the chargers would take a 1st rnd pick for himbush - seems like he should be getting the focus next year w/ all the $$ the saints have invested in him - and i think a bunch of tema might like to trade for deuce if he stays healthy this year - thus giving bush the solo job in NOjones-drew would seem like the gu of the future for Jax - but more needs to be seen of him to really make a solid analysis of his talentand addai is gonna be the guy for the colts next year - which always keeps you in a valuable sitch int hat offenseso i guess id say1. maroney2. bush3. turner4. addai5. jones-drew (mayyybe)is where i stand at this early point in the season
 
my top 5 at this point to be a #1 featured RB in 2007

1. maroney-

2. turner-

3. addai-

4. Jones-drew-

5. M. Smith

I do not see NO trading Deuce. I think Reggie and Deuce make a great one two punch from an NFL stand point.

 
I can see Foster getting traded since he won't be much of a cap hit and DeW being the starter next year.

 
surprised at all of the love for turner.

no one is going to give a 1st round pick for him.

why pay a 1st for a good RB that'll be 25 when you can get someone in the draft?

Why, so you can take a chance on drafting the next Curtis Enis when you can get a guy you know can be a great RB in the NFL?

Turner isn't a guaranteed stud, but what I think this guy means is that Turner has at least proven he can be successful against NFL D's while lots of 1st RBs look great on paper but are often complete busts.

turner has started exactly one game in the NFL. I would hesitate to state that he's someone "you know can be a great RB in the NFL"I'm not saying he can't or won't be, just that he's not as known a quantity as people are giving him credit for.I also don't believe scouting departments think the way you suggest - "we're not good enough to hit on a 1st round RB in the draft so we need to trade instead".Finally, you can find RBs after the 1st round and draft another position with your 1st round pick.
 
I was actually thinking about Norwood. Anyone know how many years Dunn has left on his contract? Obviously Atlanta is high enough on Jerious to unload Duckett prior to the season.

 
Would most people want to have Turner over Addai for next year ?

Seems like Addai is more of the sure thing for next year and is not looking too shabby this year after everyone was ready to call him JJ Arrington the 2nd.

at this point Addai. I think Indy drafted him hoping he would be their next Edge. If Turner goes to another team in the off season this might change.
 
Who knows? I think the Turner love is warranted. The guy has been productive at every opportunity. Preseason. Regular season. Whatever. He gets it done. I definitely see him starting by 2008. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll ever be more than another Chester Taylor though.

If you're looking for some talented backs to target then I'd suggest the following:

Ryan Moats - Good buy low candidate

Chris Perry - Has enough talent to be a starter and he catches lots of passes

Cedric Benson - Price is probably too high, but worth a sniff

LenDale White - Lost in Henry's rebirth is the fact that White has shown some flashes this season

Brian Calhoun - Not a huge believer in his talent, but it's likely that his owners are losing faith fast

Musa Smith - Had a good pedigree and is finally showing signs of life

The secret's out on guys like Norwood and Addai. You won't get them for a reasonable price.

The general rule is as follows:

If a talented young player has shown promise, then he will be overvalued. If a talented young player has been hampered by injuries or a lack of opportunity, then he will be undervalued. Guys like Moats and Perry are just as talented as Norwood and Turner, and they come at a fraction of the cost.

 
Can anyone tell me more about Derrick Ross in KC? He stepped into the backup role last week, and seems to have displaced Bennett and Dee Brown, at least for now. Decent shot to hold down that position? He has some value if that is the case.

The above is based on the assumption that Priest is indeed done.

A couple of possible reasons. 1) Proven commodity at the NFL level, even if not as proven as a guy who has done it full time. Less likely to get Blair Thomas etc...2) You can get immediate returns instead of a rookie learning his way.3) In many ways it could be less expensive than signing a rookie to a huge contract.4) It is possible there are no RB's as good as Turner coming out.5) Age really isn't much of a factor as if you can get 4 good years that is a lot. If he were 30 that would be different.My opinion is the NFL GM's do it backwards. because you pay so much in the 1st round, I would rather give up my 1st round pick and pay big bucks for the proven guy and then stock up on 2nd and 3rd round guys who are less expensive, but don't kill you if you mess up. I would be the guy trading down if I had the 1st pick. Of course I would never have the 1st pick because my team would always be good :yes:

My dynasty team is weak but still being competitive this year but I am so anxious for what's to come. From your list, I own M. Smith, Norwood, Morency, Maroney, M. Barber as well as others not on your list that should be - B. Jacobs, L. Washington and J. Harrison.
 
I am trying to figure out the best backup running back options in respect to dynasty options. Here is a list of RBs in order of how I think they'll contribute. Please feel free to rearrange and comment.

1) Joseph Addai - It is clear he'll be taking over for Rhodes soon. Addai, while not the most talented on the list, is most likely to have a full starting job next year and produce well.

2) Laurence Maroney - His role depends on the status of Dillon. If starting, he's the clear #1.

3) Brandon Jacobs - Jacobs will take over for Barber but not as talented as Addai or Maroney

4) Maurice Jones-Drew - Taylor doesn't look to be retiring as of yet. If he does, I see Jones-Drew at No. 2. He's the most talented back behind Maroney in my eyes.

5) Wali Lundy - Best option between Dayne and Gado as of now. He's not a backup but in an ambiguous situation. This ranking could drop significantly if Dominack Davis makes a successful comeback.

6) Reggie Bush - patience...

7) Cedric Benson - He's much improved both in attitude and performance. He's getting TDs and some yardage. Benson will continue to get more and more carries if he performs.

8) Leon Washington/Cedric Houston - I believe either of these guys could flop into the starting role and produce. Mangini doesn't appear to want anyone as the clear cut #1, though.

9) Marion Barber, III - He contributes. He's a great RB. He's just not starting. He's a great change-of-pace back with a lot of TD potential.

10) Ladell Betts - His value changes drastically week to week. If there is a lot of garbage time, he will pick up a nice chunk of points. However, with Portis ahead of him, his role is clearly a backup with no chance of starting. Given his ever shifting role week to week, he isn't as valuable as MBIII.

11) Jerious Norwood - Dunn appears a couple years from retirement. He may play a pronounced role next year.

12) Michael Turner - I doubt SD will let him go. As most everyone agrees, he'd be something special on any other team.

13) Chris Perry - He showed great flashes last year. After this year, you can slap the injury-prone label on him. He will get his touches here and there. He won't see much of the field unless Rudi is hurt.

14) LenDale White - Tennessee sucks...

15) D'Angelo Williams - He seems to be quickly slipping into the role J.J. Arrington took last year.

16) Musa Smith - Baltimore is dedicated to Jamal Lewis.

I tried to stay away from RBBC situations as in Dallas and Denver.

DeAngelo Williams :shrug:
 
mb3

I don't see Dallas as RBBC, and I see Denver as an ongoing audition for Mike..

Is Chris Perry worth considering at all? Any chance his situation improves or is he gonna be sitting behind Rudi for some time to come?

 
Can Maurice Jones-Drew really carry the load? Even if Fred Taylor is gone next year from the Jaguars, I could still see a committee approach taken with Greg Jones and Jones-Drew.

Addai currently does not start the game. Washington is not the starter. Barlow is. Lundy, while currently the starter, could end up back on the bench as quickly as he did before. One never knows in Houston.

I agree. He is a special RB. However, Dillon is why I have him at 2. Rhodes will not keep Addai off the field. Dillon can do that for Maroney.

That's true. It's just in terms of dynasty value, Maroney has a lot and Dillon has a lot of threads on his tires. Who knows how good he'll be in 2007.

J.J. Arrington :confused: What is it about DeAngelo Williams that reminds you of Arrington? Is it the 5+ yards per carry, the fact that he's more talented than the RB starting in front of him, or the probability that he's taking carries away from Foster the rest of the season now that he's healthy?If Baltimore is dedicated to Jamal Lewis, wouldn't they have given him a contract that wasn't in essence a 1-year deal?

I don't see Chris Perry starting anytime in the next couple of years.

 
For next year:

1] Maroney

2] Bush

3] D.Williams

4] Addai

5] Jones-Drew

6] Jacobs

7] Barber III

8] Norwood

9] Turner

10] Musa

11] Lundy

12] L.Washington

13] Betts

14] C.Perry

15] C.Houston

Williams only had one game to date where he was a threat to Foster's carries. Saying he's like Arrington might be overstating it. The point is that everyone expected Williams to claim the job in the first few weeks. He hasn't come close yet. He isn't living up to expectations much like Arrington last year.They are dedicated because they keep him in there even with the crappy YPC average. They have a better RB in Mike Anderson and possibly Musa Smith yet contend Jamal Lewis is their best option.

I agree. Perry won't be.

It was hard to claim the job from Foster from the IR. If not for the ankle sprain, he'd probably have a major portion of those carries already. If the Panthers want to make the playoffs, they'll turn to DeAngelo Williams to generate a rushing attack.Mike Anderson is a better RB than Lewis? Hyperbole?

No hyperbole what-so-ever. Just my opinion. Your thoughts on Williams are conjecture as are mine.
