Gimme a list of RBs that will get 80% of touches (1 Viewer)

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

I'm tired of this RBBC nonsense in the NFL.

It may be good for their team, but it is absolutely sucking the joy out of fantasy football.

Who won't be sharing more than 20% of their touches with another RB this year in your opinion?

Assuming complete health?

Ronnie Brown

Caddillac Williams

Edge

LT

I'm not really sure on any of these,

In practical reality, who cares? KC said yesterday they want to run the ball over 500 times. 80% would be 400. Would you avoid Larry Johnson if he only got 70%.

Maybe, is Priest coming back? If so, I see LJ with less than 80%.

Exactly. Frankly, I'd be a tad nervous if LJ ran the ball 30 times every single game, all year - 16 games.

80%?

Few if any. Youd be hard pressed to find an amount that would fill the 1st round.

Assuming they're healthy, this is a pretty solid list, but I don't envision Dom Davis (who ALREADY has knee problems) and Caddy lasting for the long haul.You could probably add Curtis Martin and Deshaun Foster to that list also.

You're kidding right?A RB who has never lasted a full season and they drafted a top RB and you think he will get 80% of the Panthers' carries.

I believe "adding them to the list" was to the dom davis and Caddy list. Ronnie Brown and Steven Jackson are 80%!! Marshall Faulk cannot play anymore.

Probably none will get 80%. Thats an awful high number. If I were to guess at the ones who could though, this list makes good sense. Actually I might add J.Lewis to it as well.

Great point. People are making goofy lists here. LT and SA didn't last year, although Alexander had 370 carries.For all the talk about Chris Perry and RBBC, Rudi got over 80% of the carries, as did Edge. However, both got less carries than Alexander. Percentage isn't nearly as important as total carries and red zone carries.

Good topic.

Assuming perfect health (yeah, right ), the following players will have 70%+ of the RB touches:

LJ - unless Priest is somehow healthy again

SA - no receptions - no problem

LT2 - Turner is good but LT2 will not come off the field in favor or a backup

Tiki - can't imagine Jacobs being a factor other than goalline and garbage time

SJ - Faulk is no longer a threat, Fisher is garbage

Jordan - easy

Ronnie - Morris? Minor? doubt it

Edge - easy

DD - easy

Droughns - Suggs, Green? please - easy

Chester - Tice is gone, Chester could be the every down back

K.Jones - risky but the rumor is they want him on the field in every situation

McGahee - easy

Methinks you're being far too optimistic. You wanna know who was in the 80% club last season?McGahee

Droughns

Edge

Tiki Barber

That's it.

 

[JMJ]

I'd add Rudi to this list also. While Perry did get a lot of touches last season, they were primarily receptions, not carries. And, with Palmer possibly missing a few weeks (or more), I expect Cincy to re-commit to their running game. They have the OLine to do so.

HTH.

 

[nightshift]

Add FWP to the list. As long as he is healthy, he will get the lion share.

 

[Kirby]

I don't think Perry will get much more than 20% of Rudi's.

 

[David Yudkin]

As I mentioned, this is mostly a pointless exercise as even 65% of a big number will be as good or better than 80% of a smaller number. And some people are throwing out names that make no sense.

Willie Parker? He was at 52% last year.

Brian Westbrook? He was on pace for 208 carries on a team that had 301 RB carries (69%).

Curtis Martin? Sure, in the past he has, but there's talk of him taking a reduced role and a possible RBBC.

IMO, we should be talking about guys that are going to get 300-350 carries no matter what % of the workload it is.

% of carries does not matter if your guy is getting a solid 300 touches.

If you are going on the entire team's 2005 rushing attempts, then you are right. I doubt any RB will get 80%.However, if we are dealing with only RB attempts, then the number of RBs that can be in the 60% - 80% range increases.

FWP will get the lion's share of Bettis carries as long as he is healthy. That will out him way over 300 carries in 2006. (closer to 350).

Pitt has not even come remotly close to giving a single back that many carries sinse 2000 when Bettis had 355. I doubt it happens this year.

Nothing personal, but I'm not buying it. From what I've seen, Staley will get first shot at Bettis' role (and carries) followed by Haynes if (when?) something happened to Staley. I do not see FWP getting a huge workload increase. Maybe a couple extra here and there, but his role looks to be the same in my book.

Who is this DeShaun Foster you speak of?

FWIW, there's a HUGE difference between 60% and 80% of a team's carries. That's a whole different discussion entirely.

This looks about right to me. As already pointed out, FWP and Martin should crack this list as well.
