Anyone care to share their latest RB Rankings? (1 Viewer)

PPR...Foster, Best, Forte, Matthews, ect have shaken things up a bit. Anyone care to post their latest tiers for those who haven't drafted?

 
I drafted yesterday in a 10 team PPR and I have both Forte and Arian Foster and I drafted Forte as my 5th pick and Arian Foster as my 6th pick but I was picking 10th so I picked them back 2 back. I prefer Arian over Forte at this point and after watching Best yesterday I like him right where you have him in the rankings. So I 100% agree with the rankings you got there my friend.

I think all four should be taken in top 20 of RB's and at least two will end up in the top 10 when the season is all done.

People the guy is a Dallas fan, he has screwed up every thread that talks about Foster, can you take a hint. Put him on ignore and don't respond to any of his posts. He is doing it on purpose.

I would put them in the same tier as those guys. Where you rank them is a more personal choice on who you think is riskier. Do you want sure-fire consistent producers or do you want guys with lots of upside. You can make the case for all these guys to be top 10 performers.
 
PS: I don't expect that to reflect consensus. It's just my own personal rankings, albeit from memory, so if I forgot somebody important, I reserve the right to amend.

Yeah, you pretty much flipped Gore/Turner with Rice/MJD from what the consensus has them. I think Bush is getting too much love lately. I would much rather have Best/Foster over Bush.

In fairness, I think most of the Bush love I've seen has been my own. Probably missing a lot, though.I see Gore, Turner, Rice, and MJD as pretty much a tier, and given how high they all go, I put the first two at the top of that tier for what I view as reasons of safety. Not that there's anything about Rice or MJD that's exactly frightening. I just think the value of the first two guys is so high, I don't see a reason to accept even minimal risk out of what I perceive as their tier-peers.

I think Bush has a great year along with Gore. Turner I do not trust with injuries and have a bad feeling about MJD. I expect a couple of Best, Spiller, Foster, Mathews will have top 10 ten years. They will all have huge parts in their teams offenses. As someone noted recently you can take your consensus top 10 list and figure half or more of them will not be there at the end of the season. This always leads to surprise picks.
 
Question - why is Matthews considered a reasonable early 2nd round pick but Spiller/Best shouldn't go until later?

All 3 guys have talent with Spiller/Best probably being more explosive than Matthews.

All 3 are going to be featured in their respective offenses with BUF/DET probably leaning more on their young RBs than the Chargers who will let Rivers carry the team.

The Chargers were one of the worst rushing teams in the NFL last year despite having all those weapons and a solid OL. Now, they lost Marcus McNeil and VJax.

The Bills and DET have been awful on offense but they've still been able to run - especially BUF who has had awful QBing but still allowed Fred Jackson to look above average. DET had/has the weapons and their OL was opening holes which often times, Kevin Smith just didn't/couldn't take advantage of.

So, who's to say Matthews > Spiller or Best just b/c Matthews has a better "situation"?

I like all three guys. I see no real reason to assume anything bad for any of them.If all breaks well for each of them......Mathews is the most likely to surge well beyond 250 carries, and is the most most likely to see tons and tons of red zone opportunities. I can't say I see him as *likely* to get 15 TD's or anything, but the other guys don't have a snowball's chance in hell at that number. Mathews does....Best is more explosive, but on an offense I don't trust quite as much (not to say the Lions O won't be much improved, but I don't put it at SD level yet), although he should see the bulk of the carries....CJS is INCREDIBLY explosive, but is on the offense I trust least, and faces what I perceive as the stiffest competition for touches.

I have to say, Bush looks more prepared to run between the tackles. Watching the Chargers/Saints game, I saw him take one quick cut in the backfield and run hard through a pretty small hole. It ended up being about a six or seven yard gain, but it was the type of play where the old Bush would have wasted time prancing around in the backfield. I don't know if I'd put him as high as top 12 or 13 since Pierre will get a lot of carries. But he seems more aggressive this year.

Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch aren't "competition" for Spiller. They're his backups and they'll play when he needs a rest and nothing more. BUF took Spiller that early in the draft b/c they knew he was special and they wanted him regardless of needs they had at other positions. Kind of reminds me of when the Titans took Chris Johnson despite having needs at WR and other spots more than RB. They just took CJ for his home run capabilities and it turned out well for them (or at least for his fantasy owners).
 
Posted this in another thread but before the injury offered Foster to Tate owner for Rennie Curran (Tenn LB) and after 2 days he turned me down.

Seems funny now but I expected Tate to win the job eventually this season.

Amazing how after one game people turn multiple threads into hype threads. Both looked good this week but James Davis was pre season all pro last summer too. Relax it's pre season.

Joe was saying not to use the nickname which is a play on Aryan Nation. The board filter apparently has since been modified so any attempted use of the nickname will be replaced with "Arian Foster", which is why his post seems to read oddly as it filtered his post as well.
