Note: Not including rookie RB at this point since I have no clue where they will be drafted (this is a preliminary list, correct?)My league does include .5 pts per recpt and 1 pt per 10 yards rush and rec. We are switching from a redraft to keeper so this draft will be HUGE IMO. That said, here we go...1. Deuce- in terms of age and upside, there are not many RBs who I would want to have over this kid when starting up a keeper league. Hate the system but how long will their coach be there? When this guy keeps getting auto 100 yards on a team who was not playing well ( a la LT2) you got to love that.2. Tomlinson- love the pts for reception and yards and being from Texas, followed him since his TCU days, may be a bit biased on Texas college RB but in all honesty, it's tough to pass him up. Bonus: unlike many top backs this last year, he DOESN'T FUMBLE!!!3. Holmes- Don't like the fact that he is a bit older than the top backs from last year but even in a keeper league, it lasts 3 years so until Holmes falls off the earth, it's tough to not take him top 3 or 4 IMO. Again, can you go wrong with another Texas college back?

4. Lewis- drafted him last year in the first quarter of the second round and was the reason I took home the SB in my league so obviously I am a bit biased on this guy. The Ravens can't get any worse in their passing offense next year, can they? I like Lewis toughness, he is a bit mean, and you know will play through nagging injuries. Wish he caught 5. EdgeJames- picked him in the late first round and was nothing but freaking golden during my push for the ring and he along with Jlewis carried me. He had a great year considering his week and a month vacation and only see him as getting better. Call me nuts but I actually seeing him fall a bit to probably an early to at best mid 2nd rounder. Many people don't like him for many obvious reasons but I really have seen a change in Indy's offense to one that knows they must have Edge to carry them far.6. Portis- I really can't think of a better back I saw on the tube than Portis last year, in terms of excitement, youth, ability, quickness and sure "wow" kind of plays. BUT, I HATE the fact that more times than now, injuries and his health was an issue. Can I afford to take him on and possibly get screwed for the next few years if he keeps up his nagging injuries?7. DDavis- Speaking of injuries....another back who is young but was explosive when he played. Yes, I am a Texans fans and yes I do like TH but unless something changes from now until opening day, I want this kid and love the fact he is involved in the passing game (recept pts and yards). I think the Texans will be much improved and their offense could become explosive with Davis being a huge part of this.8. AGreen-hate that he fumbles, hate when I draft him he screws me and hate when I don't draft him he scews me even more. That said, I think GB's days as being a good team are over, downgrading him only because he is clearly their only option now on offense. I just can't see him getting 1800 rushing yards next year IMO.9. Alexander- always a solid #6th ranked RB but I don't like the fact that he isn't used more, why not? QB and WR play? Interesting because he is solid and should be much higher.10. THenry -- what's not to like about this # 10 RB (in my league). He should stay around the 9 - 12 top RB next year.11. Taylor - sooo many people are picking them to be the "sleeper" team. I don't know about that but what I did see was a stellar running back who 12. RWilliams- another Texas running back I like and although he is ranked lower than I like, just don't know at this point where the Fins will go this upcoming year. If they can get a legit QB then this should help him and his work load.13. Lee Suggs- just a hunch but can Cleveland really go forward with Suggs on their bench? Sorry but if Green is no longer their back or starter, I love Suggs at this spot. Will knock out of top 15 if WGreen is their starter though.14. Faulk- lost a step for sure but still plays in the Greatest Show on Turf. I don't like this team going forward and you can already see problems at the QB position. Also, being a keeper league, I don't want him as a RB1 at all, let someone else draft him because he is Marshal Marshal Marshal.15. SDavis- age, can't last a season without getting injured and will be drafted WAY higher than he should. While he is at the bottom of my list I am just not as sold going forward because of these things for keeper leagues.Here is who could/will/may get bounced out of the 12-15 spots:Minn starter -- OSmith/Moe/Bennett? If there is a clear cut winner then I'm going with himSF starter -- without a doubt, I am knocking Barlow top 10 if he is the clear cut starter on this team.Phily starter -- if Westbrook is their starter clear cut, then he will slip in 10 - 15 spotI really am not going to look at SDavis at the last spot and there will be more upside types of backs but right now, he is my last spot on the list.
