This is the weakest dynasty crop of RBs that I remember in my years of playing. There are plenty of talented RBs out there, but a very high number of them are 26+. Not necessarily old, but not what I’ve looked for when picking in the top 5 of a start-up, most years.
The consensus seems to be a two man top tier, with Martin and Richardson. While they are likely my top two RBs, I can’t bring myself to pay the cost of acquisition. Richardson has sizable red flags with his knee and is in a poor situation. Martin is a guy I am less high on than the norm, in terms of his talent. He’s a talented back, but not a guy I’d feel great about using a top 3 startup pick on, compared to past years.
After the two top backs, there seems to be a divide between those who prefer LeSean McCoy, and those who prefer Adrian Peterson, despite his age. Both are guys who at one point in their careers I’d be happy to take at the 1.01 (and did), but today carry additional risk; Peterson’s due to age, McCoy’s due to a concussion, a talented young backup, and a lack of TD production last season.
What does the Shark Pool have to say? Is there a RB worthy of the 1.01? If so, who?
