Dynasty RB #2 ranking (1 Viewer)

Since half the board may be leaving in a few days, what about this spin off our other dynasty rankings? QB and WR stay about the same in PPR leagues, but RB is quite a different story. What do you all think here after LT?

I'm surprised at the margin Larry Johnson has over Steven Jackson. After today in my PPR league, Action Jackson will have 267 points to Johnson's 248. SJ has 83 receptions this year, compared to Johnson's 33. And he's younger than LJ. I wonder if many people are voting on reputation here rather than actual stats. Am I missing something?

I voted for Jackson......I think his rec. will go down next year but I think his TD's will go up and offset the loss of rec.

Bottom line for me is Jackson is 4 years younger than LJ. I own Jackson in a keeper league and I really don't think you can go wrong with either.

Now SJ's got the lead 16-15. Hey, this stuff is important for us in PPR leagues. Bump for more votes.

While I think I'd still go with LJ, SJax has impressed me this year. Both teams are aging, but I can see where SJax is more able to work around that than LJ might be.

I don't think LJ is every going to put up huge receiving numbers, but I bet if you go back and look at the games since Green came back, he has probably been targeted 20-25 times and has probably 7-8 catches in 4 or 5 games. (I checked, he has 9 catches since the first of October) Green can't seem to hit LJ out of the backfield. He overthrows him, has balls batted down, throws it at his feet, etc...This is also a key reason to why the Chiefs lost 3 games in a row and are now dead in the water. If you can't convert 3rd downs, you aren't going to win many games.I have LJ and wouldn't trade him straight up for ANYBODY right now. LJ is having a LT-type season, LT is having a once in a generation type season. In my eyes they are very close.
