Michael Pittman will finish in the top 55 but I refuse to list the wife beater on any of my draft boards.

 

[On The Rocks]

i havn't had my coffee..I thought for sure that "top 40" was a "top 55" on the original post.

[pfine1165]

Prodest Monkey - Portis #11 ?????DC - I honestly dont see how you can rank Barlow, whos never been a full-time back in his career over Fred Taylor, who--when he stays away from injuries--is a definate fantasy starter?

You think Portis is going to pull a Ricky Williams eh?

 

[Phlash]

Heh, I realized I forgot him after someone told Proudest Monkey he put Portis at #11 And I think, like every year, the top 10 RBs is going to have a 50% turnover like it does every year.

[Clayton Gray]

Guys, these are great here at RB, but we need at least 10 lists at every position. If we don't get enough everywhere, we can't use any position.

As strange as it sounds, I think he's LOW risk this year to be solid, yet has HUGE upside if he can up his TD total.
