[Biabreakable]

These are consensus dynasty rankings for year 2007 standard FBGs scoring no PPR

If you vote other, please specify.

Also, please comment on your vote, and list any player that should be nominated for the next round.

I like the chatter so lets keep that going as we vote.

1. Ladainian Tomlinson

2. Larry Johnson

3. Steven Jackson

4. Shaun Alexander

5. Clinton Portis

Decided to consider this a run off poll between SA and Portis. After nearly 48 hours and 200 votes they are very close and it looks to continue that way. SA has a slight edge in voting so I gave him the #4 ranking.

if westbrook can avoid injuries he is #4

portis, alexander, westbrook, gore.. all are in the next tier IMO, but all come with injury concerns, just pick the one you think will play the most games in the next couple seasons is what i was thinking here

I just noticed this. (???)Isn't "standard FBG's" including PPR?If not, no reason Westbrook should be getting any votes right now.

Surprised at the Alexander love. I can honestly think of 10 RBs I'd take over him in a dynasty startup draft.

10?? no way

 

[Duckboy]

Tossup between Alexander and Portis. If Portis could stay healthy, this would be clear, but he hasn't. Part of Alexander's draw was his steadiness year-to-year, but with his age I only see a couple more really good years left. He'll be my pick at 5 though; after that, it's a little more murky.

voted portis, hes the best of the young guys still left

 

[Wu-banger]

Im still on the Alexander bandwagon... he is too productive to be any lower...4 is about right.

Portis .. now there is the guy who on the injury list all the time, SA had one bad injury who looks like he should be fine. Alexander has a better offense and easier yearly schedule....the Hawks are hit by the Super Bowl hangover, but they will be back.

 

[socrates]

This was a very difficult choice between Portis and Alexander. Alexander has been in the league two more years than Portis (4 years older), but he has been the model of consistency, and over the next three seasons, I would prefer Alexander. He has enough tread left on his tires that he should continue to produce for the foreseeable future. The extra couple years you might get from Portis are not quite enough, in my opinion, to tip the scales in his favor. Dynasty or otherwise, the first goal is still to win now.

Standard FBGs scoring does not include points for reception to my knowledge unless this has recenty changed. I stated that these rankings do not include leagues that award points for receptions as additional clairification.Westbrook still gets a lot of yardage due to how many receptions he gets so I can see why some might vote for him at this point even without PPR.

the means I can see the argument either way, depending on your needs/perspective.Gore has played great, but there's very few people who will agree with you there. KJ, Addai and Maroney have potential. SA has production. If drafting for the next 10 years, instead of the next 3, I can see your side. FWIW, I have LT, Tiki and McGahee in one league, wouldn't trade McGahee for SA, but if I didn't have Tiki, I would - so I'd consider it a toss up.

as long as turner is the OC is san fran he is a top 4-7 talent. Turner always finds ways to get his backs the ball, look at the drop of of L.Jordan, with Norv he is a top ten Stud, without he was barely hitting 15 touches

Perhaps, but with only 4 , 3 and 1 SA, are we really disagreeing? Will Turner be there much longer? Possibly, as he sucked as a head coach - or maybe, Oakland sucks for the HC?

I've seen too many teams in a hole right off the bat by drafting a 30+ RB at the top of the first round. Works out OK the first year but it's typically downhill from there on out. Can't trade the player either cause few will give you market value for a RB that age. I could see possible trading for him if you have a legit championship shot but I'm not making him the cornerstone of my team for years to come. Then again I only play in dynasties where I anticipate a long term membership. In one of my long standing leagues, both the Maroney and Addai owners pretty much laughed when I offered SA straight up. The McGahee and Ronnie owners didn;t want anything to do with the trade either.

 

[Hendo]

y isnt Maroney on here when Bush and Addai are?

i's take Maroney over alot of those guys in a dynasty.

no kidding...

 

[Purpulhippo999]

where are maroney, chester taylor, and adrian petersen? michael hart?

 

[Biabreakable]

I will add Maroney and Chester Taylor in the next poll.

The reason Bush and Addai are on this one is because they were asked for previously.

I don't think I will have enough slots to add the rookies who will be entering the league on the next poll but I will keep them in mind for future polls as soon as slots open up for them. You can still vote for them under other.

Shaun Alexander is winning this by a small margin right now. Will leave it open at least until midnight possibly longer depending on how close the vote is at that time before moving on to Rb #5 poll.

 

[snorlax]

I agree that perspective rookies should be included fairly soon. Of course there's no point involving them in the conversation at this point.

 

[Ariakis]

SA isn't even 30 yet you just can't drop him lower. This time off should prolong his durability I would think to another 2 years of stud at minimum.

So getting injured is going to prolong his durability? Interesting theory.

I agree.....SA not getting banged on for 16 games this year could help him in the long run....He is a top 5 back for at least the next 2 years maybe 3

He had a broken bone that's not a sign of wearing down. My thoughts atleast is that he has XX number of carries left in him before he does begin to break down. By missing so many games this year his threshold will carry further into his career.

Aren't injuries the most obvious symptom of breaking down? If he tears his ACL in each knee over the next couple of years and misses all those games, does that mean he's going to play until he's 40? What if he doesn't have quite as many carries left in him as previously thought?

Great response, well thought out. You go ahead and take a 30 year old RB at the top of the first round and tell me how good your dynasty team is two years from now. I've seen teams do it with Faulk, didn't work. Saw teams do it with Tiki, didn't work. Saw teams do it with Priest, didn't work. RB is a young man's position.

 

[fruity pebbles]

He'll be 30 before the start of next season. And he'll still log close to 300 carries this year so I can't see this foot injury having much of an effect.

silly dynasty people... always playing for 5 yrs from now, never wanting to win now. there IS a way to strike a balance you know, with veterans and youngsters. having alexander as your centerpiece doesn't suck.

 

[Biabreakable]

Well Alexander won the #4 ranking. Portis #5.

At the time I moved on to #6 Alexander had more votes than Portis. The poll was left open for almost 48 hours at that time. I see people are still voting and they are tied now.

Based off this poll which has almost 200 votes it seems clear that most would take Alexander or Portis at these slots.

Time to move on.
