I'm voting Slaton until he wins.

I think Portis has a lot left in the tank.

I'm voting Slaton until he wins.

Pretty hard to believe that Slaton is still on the board. And, he is currently losing to Stewart. Could someone who chose Stewart over Slaton please justify it?

 

[Touchdown Syndrome]

Bush at #10 in a ppr is too good to pass up. He's so great in a ppr format that I'd take the gamble on his health. During the first half of 2008 he was an untradeable stud who was nearly carrying fantasy teams. Again, because of his injury history and the emergence of PT, I wouldn't take him in the top 5 or 6, but at this spot he could be a steal. JMO

Dynasty = Long Term TalentIMO Stewart is the 2nd most talented RB in the NFL, he seems to be the whole package. I'm not saying he should be the #2 on this list but his talent puts him in this range. I thought Slaton looked great last year and I love the Texans offense but I like the long term stud potential of Stewart slightly over Slaton.

He's a better back and this is for a dynasty where talent reigns supreme.

 

[TaxMan]

you want to have a realistic shot at winning the next 1-2 years, go Ronnie Brown. if you want to get a younger back with tons of upside, go Stewart.

Replace Brown with either Portis or Lynch and I agree. Lynch, for all his personal issues, is a solid young back who should rank around 8-15 for the next few years.

Change of pace back. Pierre will let him have some of those 3rd down receptions.

Who is the most talented? IMO he's still the 2nd most talented RB on his team, and at best 3rd in his division. Slaton is the same age and had a better ypc behind a worse offensive line - AND he catches the ball out of the backfield. I'm of the opinion that DWill could become even better in ppr if given the opportunity. Do you have reason to believe that Stewart will improve over the 8 catches he had last year to become a force in PPR? Do you have any reason to believe that Stewart won't spend his career playing 2nd fiddle to DWill?

How do you judge talent? I'm not sure how you could watch Slaton and not see that he has as much talent as anyone in in 08 class sans CJ. I'm also not sure how you could watch Stewart and be convinced that he's the real deal.

I like Stewart's future alot.........but until he starts to get more receptions and gets out of DWillie's shadow, I'll gladly take Slaton in a dynasty PPR.

What in tarnation are you basing that on? I like Stew, he's at least arguably the best backup in the NFL, but 2nd most talented RB in the league? I almost never call bs on these opinions, but

 

[offdee]

IMO Stewart is the 2nd most talented RB in the NFL

So, I guess that means DeAngelo Williams is the single most talented RB in the NFL then.

ill take Kevin Smith again even though i know he has zero chance in the vote

Portis' mileage scares me, while I do agree with you on Lynch, i'd take Ronnie for the simple fact that i believe he will certainly have his best years coming in the next 2-3 years. Not to mention I think Ronnie is a better back than Lynch. Only Lynch has over Ronnie is age.

I think a lot of people are prematurely burying Brian Westbrook. This are still PPR rankings right?

Same here. I guess I wasn't too off base to suggest he should be on here over Moreno, Wells, and Addai....all of which have zero votes and Kevin Smith has 8 at this time.

He's referring to your sign-in name "Taxman".I voted for Bush.

 

[gonzobill5]

these results make me even more certain that i will end up going wr, wr in my ppr this year. guys with huge upside like jacobs, slaton, and ronnie brown could be sitting there in the 3rd.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Injury or no injury PPR = Bush

Reggie looked awesome until he got injured last yr.

 

[gonzobill5]

@ Kevin Smith votes!

I try my best not to watch the lions play - so I'm not the most informed source on this one - but here's my take anyway. Over the last 8 games, the guy got 20+ carries in 6 of them, and turned that into 671 yards. I bet there aren't that many guys that can beat that. Think about that, before you get too excited. Why the heck are the lions feeding a guy the ball 20+ times when they are coming from behind (I know they had the lead in some of those games, but I still feel this has to be true most of the time). And, how much are defenses really concerned about the Lions running game? Are defenses just trying to make sure CJ doesn't beat them deep and letting Smith get whatever he can? Will this continue, or if the Lions take a step forward, will teams play them a little more honestly?

 

[shark-attack]

Ronnie Brown.!!!1

 

[KellysHeroes]

I'm surprised that Reggie got so many Votes... Last I landed in at spot #14 and its nice to see his value is still about the same

 

[Holy Schneikes]

Injury or no injury PPR = Bush

Reggie looked awesome until he got injured last yr.

He looked absolutely horrible to me, as usual. He was putting up points for a couple of games because of massive opportunities early on, then the team realized they were better off with someone else running the ball. They have turned the corner. The high draft pick free pass is over, and the opportunities that made Bush a viable fantasy starter won't be there going forward. He'll still be useful in a Kevin Faulk sense, but he won't be featured enough to make him a good fantasy starter.

Basing it on talent!Beyond AD you can put any number of RB's in the 2nd most TALENTED spot and in MY OPINION Stewart has all the tools to be considered. This is an opinion on talent alone- not stats, offensive system, FF points.

He has speed, size, quickness, vision, and in college was able to catch the ball out of the backfield.

*also I do not own him on my team*

You mean the night he rushed 12 times for 29 yards and fumbled twice?Perfect example. He CAN BE a game changer as a return specialist and occasional COP/receiving back. I never said the guy was worthless. But what the team has finally come to terms with is that he is NOT a good RUNNING back. I think that if Pierre Thomas had started that game at RB and Reggie was a returner/slot guy, the Saints might have actually WON.If you are in a league that gets points for return yardage and scores as well as PPR, Bush might be your guy. I just don't think that in more traditional leagues he's going to be a viable starter.

Good luck with your opinion, you're in a minority of one. He's actually the 2nd most talented in the entire roster of the Carolina Panthers.

I'd love to read an analysis of how Stew is more talented than LT, Portis, McFadden, Westbrook, or MJD. IMO he's in the same tier as Lynch, MB3 and Gore.

While I disagree with the #2 talent ranking, I don't necessarily think it's laughable. LT and Westy probably had more talent than Stewert. May still. But the cliff is approaching fast for these two. McFadden didn't show me as much as Stewert did in their respective rookie years. I do like MJD better. I'd also rank ADP, S-Jax and CJ higher when it comes to talent. He's in the next group. But the others in that next group are in better situations.I think he has more talent than D-Will just as I thought D-Will had more talent than Foster. Stewert probably has had more opportunities this year than D-Will did the previous two. I'm not sure what that means but I think it means Fox sees Stewert's talent more than he saw D-Will's.

Although I'm not sold on Forte and Turner yet, I'd take all that have been taken so far ahead of Stewert. I voted Slaton in the current poll. I'm not sure if I'd take Stewert next but I would consider him.

And I disagree with those that say talent is the most important thing to consider here. For rookie drafts, I'd agree. Then you're selecting a future starter and by the time the future arrives, the situation may be different than today. When you're selecting the #10 RB, you're selecting your #1 RB. This is the guy that you'll be counting on in the next couple of years. I'm not saying you shouldn't consider age and talent, just that situation becomes very important here. The thing that is holding Stewert back is D-Will. I wouldn't want a back up, no matter how talented, as my #1 RB.
