If anyone can distinguish between these guys, I'm all ears.....
Ryan Grant
Pros: An argument could be made that he was the best Fantasy RB down the stretch last year. Has nose for end-zone.
Cons: New QB, shaky interior line, questionable hammy.
Jamal Lewis
Pros: Offense should be able to move the ball. Unquestioned ball-carrier. Nice offensive line. Gets the ball in red-zone
Cons: Lots of wear & tear. Has lost a step. Was last year a fluke?
Frank Gore
Pros: May have the most talent out of this group. Will definitely be focus of offense.
Cons: Offense will struggle to consistently move the ball. Mike Martz. Has not scored many TD's in the past.
Reggie Bush
Pros: Can take it the distance rushing and receiving. Offense should be explosive. Has a lot of upside.
Cons: Not real tough in short yardage. Deuce may still red-zone carries.
Brandon Jacobs
Pros: May have most upside of the group. Produces like a 1st rounder when he plays.Good offensive line
Cons: May have most downside of the group. Injury Prone. Ward/Bradshaw also get lots of carries.
Laurence Maroney
Pros: Starting RB on highest scoring Offense. Has shown that he can carry the load if needed.
Cons: Didn't get red zone carries last year. What will Bill do this year?
Willis McGahee
Pros: Would be top ten RB if healthy. Had statistical best year last year.
Cons: Can't even jog yet. Ogden retired. Offense should struggle. Ray Rice.
Anyone?
No one is standing out to me.
How different would these rank in non PPR & PPR league?

ros: Favre. Nice passing weapons in Cotch/Coles. Much improved O-line with Faneca/Woody/Ferguson. GREAT blocking FB in Tony Richardson.cons: Only 2 rushing TDs last year. Age/wear & tear. Leon Washington.Also, I'd put LJ in as a giant mystery, too..pros: been a monster before. clear goal line option. will be focus of offense.cons: worst o-line in NFL. terrible passing game. lots of worn tread on tires.Frankly, all RB's after Steven Jackson at #5 have question marks to me. Hell, even SJax does. But LT, AP, Westy, Addai, SJAx are about the only sure bet RBs out there. Hence the larger-than-past-years run on WRs -- in just about every 12-team mock I've done, no fewer than 7 WRs go in the first 19 picks: Moss, Wayne, TO, Braylon, Andre J., Colston, Fitz -- and the top 4 QB's (Brady, Peyton, Romo, Brees) in rounds 1-3.
