Just wait, Reggie Bush will thrive on the Houston Jet Saints.

My first version of the list was prior to the draft with Bush in Never Land. Any comments other than snide remarks?

Michael Turner is WAAYYYY to low... he is the best backup RB in the league by far, and better than a LOT of starters. He is a FA after this year if I am not mistaken. Some one is gonna throw some coin his way next year and he will be a starter, and will be good for many years. I think he needs to be bumped WAY up. I have him in 2 dynastys, and would love to have him in my 3rd. I fully intend to draft him in my 4th at some point if the draft gets to moving. Drink da KoolAid.

 

[Jack Ham & Eggs]

Reuben Droughns is too low.

 

[Bears_Man2]

Nice list. Not too far off from what I have.

Have Tiki a little higher in the 15-20 range. (I don't think I'll ever own him having him ranked there).

I have Turner a bit higher in and around 30. Barring some injury, he'll be starting somewhere.

I have Mike Anderson out of the top 60.

I have Dayne in the low 50's.

I have Gado in the 50's and out of the league in a year or two.

I have Taylor and Greg Jones very close together in ranking like you. Very possible Jones runs with the job & never looks back. Possibly this year's Mike Anderson.

Agree with you on Parker (though I'll never put him under the 20 mark).

Like the Droughns ranking.

 

[Patoons]

J.Harrison should be on that list around Brandon Jacobs.

Droughns low...MB3 should be right before Dayne IMO.

Dom Davis and Deshaun Foster are too high IMO. These guys, while possibly recent redraft players, I'd steer clear in dynasty. Dom's knee is a mess and Deshaun's got DeAngelo and an injury history following him.

I own Michael Turner too and have high hopes. He's is a restricted free agent after this year so San Diego could match any offer. Though, I see some team throwing him a lot of money. Here's exactly what restricted free agency means according to the NFL, in case someone was wondering.Restricted free agents are players who have completed three accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They have received qualifying offers from their old clubs and are free to negotiate with any club until April 21, at which time their rights revert to their original club. If a player accepts an offer from a new club, the old club will have the right to match the offer and retain the player. If the old club elects not to match the offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the level of the qualifying offer made to the player.

Steven Jackson and Kevin Jones too high.

Tiki Barber too low.

Comments?

Hard to comment on dynasty rankings, maybe it is just me, because one league may differ radically from another. To the author, is dynasty next year or within five years?If you are looking long term (3-5 yrs) than the list changes considerably.

Just my two cents as I have looked at this list the last few days and have wondered about how long you view "dynasty"

How in the world you have Tiki Barber ranked 31st is beyond belief.

You will get 2 more years of top 5 production out of him.

You want to let another owner get that be my guest.

That is awful.

You draft a team for a 3 year horizon becuase you can never predict injury and you should want to try to win now.

I am in 10 Dynasty leagues and every team that overvlaues youth ends up in the middle of the pack 90% of time.

Passing proven talent because of age is foolish.

First 3 rounds you draft best at postion regardless.

Take it for what it's worth.

You can get younger guy's later at a value.

Not saying you pass on guy's like Bush and Maroney but no way in hell do I pass Tiki for Maroney...no way.

How you have Edge who has more ticks on the odmeter than Tiki and playing on a team that is dreadful in the run blocking department is also beyond me.

Kevin Jones at #9...wow. He is a bum.

Jospeh Addai who is so overrated it is disgusting.

It just goes to show how different people value players.

Anyway those are the things that jumped out at me.

Good luck in your drafts.

31 is too low, but Tiki will NOT have top 5 production for two more years.
