From what I've seen of McFadden so far, he could have an Adrian Peterson-type impact. Fargas and Bush are good but McFadden is going to be a superstar.

Too slooooooooooow.
He has a better chance of winning Dancing With the Stars sometime in his life than to become a successful NFL RB barring major running style fixes.My bet is on James Hardy. Will be starting week 1, and has the size, talent, and ability to run routes to be successful right away.

Matt Ryan.

is this based on the 66 yard run against the worst D in the league or the other 5 carries for 11 yards against the worst D ?

:X QB's are automatically given a small bias in these types of awards. Plus, Ryan will need to only win a handful of games to technically "improve" the Falcons from the '07 campaign.After ADP's monster season last year, the RB hopefuls will need to tattoo some monster stats this year to be considered.Matt Ryan.

I think it will be McFadden, but it won't be a runaway. Hardy, Ryan, and Forte will all be in the running.

Toss up for me between DMF and Stewart.

D. McFadden, by a landslide...

There's a reason why TE's are 0-for-42 in winning this award. Think about what you have to show to win the award, and then think about what rookie TE's are having to learn and master.

I'm inclined to agree with this. DMac is probably the next choice as he figures to get plenty of opportunities in Oakland to carry the ball.Matt Ryan.QB's are automatically given a small bias in these types of awards.

Just a hunch but Timmy Hightower might raise some eyebrows before it's all said and done.

If you mean 300+ carries and ALL goal-line situations as "situational duties", I'd say Lendale will still be pretty darn important to the Titans.........Close race for R.O.Y., but in the end.....D-Mac edges out D.K.......in layman's terms that's McFadden over Keller for Rookie Of The Year.
My bad. Deep Sleeper Pick: KellerThere is a 1st for everything...........and what fun is it going with what everyone else thinks anyways?There's a reason why TE's are 0-for-42 in winning this award.

It's a tall order, that's all.

Can't see this not being McFadden unless Stewart or Mendenhall surprise people.

Easy for me to just be the 25th person to say DMac...
but no one has mentioned Royal yet; hes being given a chance to start.

Jonathan Stewart.

As high as I am on Chris Johnson in FF (PPR), I like Forte to win ROY. I'm sure this will be a minority opinion, but I don't believe McFadden, Stewart, or Mendenhall will get near the amount of touches Forte gets.

It's nothing I've heard or read, but I've got to suspect that the Panthers will play it conservatively with that foot this year to make sure it's good and healed. I drafted Steward in one league, but I've got to think DMac has the inside track among the RB's.
