Help me break up this tier of RBs (1 Viewer)

As the title suggests, please rank the following: (Dynasty, non PPR, startup) I am having a hard time breaking this tier up. Obviously, I would like to grab one or maybe two of the remaining to maximize value. All starters or figure to split carries. Some younger, some olders, some more proven, but all around the same value in my rankings. But how would you rank em?

A. Foster

M. Forte

A. Bradshaw

R. Brown

M. Bush

D. Brown

F. Jones

Thanks!

 
ronnie brown ( stays healthy he's top 15 )

matt forte ( former 1st round fantasy pick)

bradshaw ( should get 60% of rb touches )

Foster (unproven)

Mike Bush

felix jones (dont sleep on barber)

d brown

 
ETA - this is a redraft view/not dynasty

1. R. Brown - Talented primary back on a run first team

2. M. Bush - I'm high on him and think he earns a greater role this season. Raiders will run it well and he is talented.

3. M. Forte - I play only PPR, so I'm a little higher on him in that format due to Martz's passing game.

4. A. Foster - Top back on a high powered offense, could lose touches to Slaton only major detractor.

5. A. Bradshaw - I like him as a 3rd or 4th RB, but Jacobs will have a big role and limit his ceiling.

6. F. Jones - He's still just a COP back no matter how people want it differently...but dang, that offense will score.

7. D. Brown - Average talent, backup RB on a pass first team.

Forte, Bush, Bradshaw, and DBrown are really the only guys I want in dynasty. I want no part of Ronnie, I think Jones is never really that big in fantasy, and Foster's just waiting to get replaced in HOU. Like they tried to do this year haha.

Michael Bush and Bradshaw are my two favorites now and to the future.

 
1. Felix Jones - Always go talent in dynasty leagues, and he is easily the most talented of this group.

2. Amhad Bradshaw - Is better than Jacobs in every way, averaged 5 YPC last year with two bad feet, and is now completely healthy.

3. Donald Brown - Is clearly the better runner, as soon as he gets a better grasp of the offense, including pass blocking, he will get the majority of the touches in Indy. Addai is a FA after this year, and i doubt he is back with the Colts.

4. Matt Forte - He will be better this year, Taylor doesnt concern me much at all, he might even help push Forte as well as keep him fresh.

5. Michael Bush - Will be splitting touches with Mcfadden, plus he is kind of old for a guy who has only been in the league for a few years.

6. Arian Foster - Has some redraft value with Tate lost for the season, but that doesnt make him any more talented.

7. Ronnie Brown - Another decent pick in redraft, but i dont want anything to do with him in a dynasty league. Too old, plus i bet Miami brings in a good/younger back for the 2011 season.

I find myself writing off Jones too at times. But he is one of the most talented guys in the bunch, along with Ronnie Brown. If Ray Rice can put up huge number in non-PPR, then Jones can too, given the opportunity and health permitting. As for Foster, I don't know that Houston was trying to replace him. He was unproven, his backup had serious injury concerns, and they really had no choice but to add another back. He will get a chance to procuce as a #1 back this year. If he does, he could be a top 10 fantasy back for the next 5 years, seeing as how he is only 23 years old, and will be playing with Shaub and AJ for the duration of his career.Not that you are wrong. You are right about your concerns. But I have concerns about all of the above. On the flip side, I can see scenerios in which all of the above blow up in the near future.

Thanks, mate!I think your rankings are pretty spot on. I value current season a lot more than most, so I would rank Brown a lot higher. I also don't think that Brown has done much, if anything, better than Addai. Aside from that, I agree with your rankings.

If you put that much value on the current season, then yes, bump RBrown up. Donald Brown may not have had better statistics than Addai, but after watching the two run, there is a sizeable difference.

Felix Jones (has shown us something)Forte (still enough reason for optimism)Foster (can't ignore #1 RB in HOU with little competition)Bradshaw (not as convinced on his talent but with Jacobs having his little meltdown I think the road to the starting gig is wide open)M Bush (not a beleiver)Brown (last legs)D Brown (no talent, can't stay healthy)

I'm comfortable throwing the following out as my RB2, and I think you could do worse with the others. Not everyone can have Ray Rice as their #2 back. A. FosterM. ForteA. Bradshaw

In dynasty, definitely not. In redraft, for instance, I have Bradshaw and Spiller as my #1 and #2. Of course, my wideouts are AJ, Moss, Roddy........more than one way to skin a cat.Bradshaw could very well end up a RB1 anyway, if he gets enough touches.

starting a draft with a CJ or ADP or MJD, I would be ok with rolling bradshaw or ronnie/ricky out at my rb2. Play matchups etc. That is with the understanding that my wrs are a couple of the top tier guys.
