Running Back Breakouts - 2015 (1 Viewer)

Is the answer to this question essentially the shiny new rookies, along with CM and a couple of second year players?
Not always Rashad Jennings is an example of one of these players, here is my list:
Rashad Jennings
ATL Winner (Coleman or Freeman)
Matt Jones
Long shot (Cameron Artist-Payne)

Yeah I really wanted to draft him. Seems like classic Comeback Player of the Year stuff playing a full 16 and running for 1700 behind that line.
I hope so on Jones. I grabbed him on my bench in all 3 of my leagues. I have Michael as well in one (with Randle). I only have Jennings in one league, but I think he could be a lot better than expected. He was pretty solid last year in PPR when healthy.

Good list. I don't necessarily agree with Spiller. It will take Ingram missing significant time. I know he's not a classic "breakout" player, but I think Todd Gurley is going to be on a lot if championship teams.

I disagree - the New Orleans offense could easily have over 400 rushes from the RBs this year. Ingram and Spiller can co-exist. If one of them gets hurts, though, the other obviously sees increased snaps. I think Spiller hurts Cooks more than he hurts Ingram.

Yeah, maybe I'm wearing Spiller Colored Contacts, but if he gets healthy and can string together 13-14 solid games you're looking at Sproles numbers if not better. Fantastic ppr RB2 for where he was drafted.

+1 for Ivory, he's still flying under many radar and he looked great last year. not a jets fan and not a ivory fan or owner, but looking forward to seeing what he can do as the primary back without cj there to take any carries. is stacy a goal line threat? never watched him with the rams.

Agree with Doug Martin and possibly Matt Jones.
Have shares in CMike and David Johnson so would love to see them do it.
To throw out a name: Woodhead. I like Melvin but think Woodhead will do well himself. 3rd downs, 2 minute offense and probably some early work carries thrown in.

With you 100% on this one.
This kid is very impressive. I think he takes over as the lead dog by Week 6.

Duke in PPR formats for sure. Has his own role and Probably not competing with Crow or Turbin directly. Targets have increased each game so far and he was heavily involved last week. Browns playing from behind a lot.

I'm holding to Hillman in all leagues, I think he's going to explode when given the bulk of carries

The odds of him holding up long term are NOT good when he is given a heavy workload.

Ivory has been a straight up stud. Missed a game but still ranked #7 overall RB in my league and #4 overall in PPG.
Duke looked good last week for sure but so did Crowell. Looks like full blown time share all year unless one gets hurt.
Karlos's production is really based off of TDs. Not complaining about that but it would have been nice to see him get going on the ground last week and it looks like we will have to wait another week before finding out if he is legit when given a heavy workload.

As a Bears fan, I promise you that NOTHING will live up to expectations in Tressman's offense - but especially not at RB.

Could see Duke and Crowell having a Woodhead-Gordon type dynamic moving forward...instead of it being a true committeeChaka said:
