Levi Farmer's Week 5 RB Projections **UPDATED THURSDAY NIGHT** (1 Viewer)

LMF

Footballguy
I hopefully plan to do WR's, TE's, & QB's by SAT. Just thought this might help out a few of you guys out there with bye weeks.

Blue = Non PPR.

Orange = PPR.

Green = Has upside to finish better than projected.

Red = has downside to finish worse than projected.

1. LaDainian Tomlinson 21.5 25.5 - This guy has absolutely torn up the Denver Broncos Defense in recent years. He will get the ball and get it often.

2. Edgerin James 18.8 21.8 - James is just looking plain good this year. He is playing a defense that is vulnerable to the run.

3. Willie Parker 18.0 21.0 - Not the best matchup this week but he tends to produce when on his home field.

4. Larry Johnson 17.0 21.0 - He is at home and he will punish them later in the game.

5. Willis McGahee 16.5 18.5 - Willis has been pretty consistent so far. Baltimore will control this game well.

6. Ronnie Brown 16.0 21.0 - Houston has a tough run defense but Brown has put up some steller numbers in the last 2 weeks.

7. Marshaw Lynch 16.0 18.0 - Tough matchup on Sunday but he has looked pretty good all year.

8. Marion Barber 15.5 19.5 - Cowboys should control this game from the kickoff. Barber could have a potential huge day.

9. Reggie Bush 15.0 19.0 - Panthers have been giving up stats to the RB's this year. Lets see what Bush will do with the load.

10. Frank Gore 14.5 17.5 - Tough place to run and QB problems but has put up numbers all year.

11. Clinton Portis 14.0 16.0 - Will loose carries to Betts. Also depends on his status Sunday morning.

12. DeShaun Foster 14.0 16.0 - NO has been giving a ton of points up to RB's so should be a good play.

13. Thomas Jones 13.5 16.5 - Should be able to run on this defense if the offense can keep them on the field.

14. Joseph Addai 13.0 16.0 - If he is 100% healthy he will put up some good numbers. His status on Sunday is the key.

15. Shaun Alexander 12.5 14.5 - Extremely tough matchup.

16. Travis Henry 12.0 14.0 - Would be a tough matchup even if healthy. Another RB that neets to be checked Sunday morning.

17. Laurence Maroney 12.0 14.0 - Great matchup if he is cleared to start. Seems endless but check his status Sunday morning.

18. Julius Jones 12.0 14.0 - Good matchup. Will put up solid numbers.

19. Brandon Jacobs 11.5 12.5 - Awesome matchup against weak run defense if he plays. Check on Sunday morning for injury status.

20. Ladell Betts 11.5 13.5 - If Portis is out he automatically moves up the charts. Check Portis on Sunday morning.

21. Ron Dayne 11.5 12.5 - If he starts he will put up good numbers against an atrocious rush defense in MIA. Check on status on Sunday.

22. Maurice Jones-Drew 11.0 16.0 - Tough matchup. Good start in PPR leagues.

23. Jamal Lewis 11.0 12.0 - Wont put out much against NE. Hopefully a short TD.

24. Michael Pittman 11.0 12.0 - I believe he will get the most carries here this week. Colst defense is pretty beat up.

25. Sammy Morris 11.0 12.0 - Good start as a flex. Will put up great numbers if he gets the start.

26. Lendale White 11.0 14.0 - Good matchup against Falcons D. Could put up larger numbers.

27. Cedric Benson 11.0 12.0 - Will have to carry this offense once again. Not a great start

28. Brian Leonard 11.0 12.0 - Tough matchup against a tough run defense in ARI. Offense has some problems

29. Fred Taylor 10.5 11.5 - Will put up decent numbers on the road. KC has tough run defense though.

30. Kevin Jones 10.5 15.5 - Still a little bit iffy, but should be getting more carries. Good start in PPR.

31. DeAngelo Williams 10.5 15.5 - Good matchup. Good flex or RB2 in PPR.

32. Leaon Washington 10.5 16.5 - Should be pretty active, especially in the passing game during this one.

33. Ahman Green 10.0 11.0 - Excellent matchup if he can be cleared to start and healthy. Another one with up and downside and one to watch his status on Sunday.

34. Chris Brown 10.0 12.0 - Good matchup if you need a flex with upside.

35. Warric Dunn 10.0 11.0 Titans have a pretty good front 4. I don't see him doing any better than this.

36. Derrik Ward 10.0 13.0 - Status depends on Jacobs status Sunday morning.

37. Selvin Young 9.5 12.5 - His points will completely depend on Henry's status on Sunday & with the possible suspension.

38. Jerious Norwood 9.0 11.0 - Tough matcup against the Titans. He hasnt put up great numbers this year either.

39. Earnest Graham 9.0 10.0 - By the time he gets the ball they will probably be out of contention. Best bet would be in TD heavy leagues.

40. Kenton Keith 9.0 12.0 - Could put up good numbers if Addai cannot play.

41. Aaron Stecker 8.5 12.5 - Should be active in giving Bush some breathers. He will be active in the passing game.

42. Vernand Morency 8.5 11.5 - Still an iffy start. Should get the most percentage of carries but against a tough Chicago defense.

43. Sam Gado 8.0 10.0 - Totally depends on Green and Dayne. Any RB here that is the starter against MIA should be an automatic start on your team. And yet another guy with up and downside.

44. Tatum Bell 7.0 8.0 - Not a good matchup and not in a position to produce.

45. Adrian Peterson 7.0 8.0 - Not a good play here but its hard to leave him off when he touches the ball every week.

46. DeShawn Wynne 6.5 8.5 - This team is all about the pass and hes in a horrible fantasy RBBC.

47. Jesse Chatman 6.0 9.0 - Cant rely on him as it appears that Cameron has finally put is faith in Brown.

48. Kevin Faulk 5.0 6.0 - Horrible start if Maroney plays. If Maroney doesnt play the he obviously has some upside.

49. Musa Smith 5.0 7.0 - The Ravens will control his game by running, he should get his share of carries against SFO.

50. Mike Bell 3.5 4.5 - Could see some action if Henry is supended or declared inactive for Sunday.

SITUAIONAL INJURY PREDICTIONS

IF Joseph Addai starts 100% healthy he goes from 13 16 to 18 22.

I like your call on Edge this week.

I also think you need to swap Sammy Morris and Laurence Maroney.

I think that Maroney would put up better numbers than Morris if he gets the start. On the other hand Morris did look good on Monday night. I think Edge will go off this week.
 
I don't like that Selvin Young and Earnest Graham are not listed in your top 10. It makes me doubt the whole thing.

Now here is a guy that is ahead of the news. :rolleyes:
 
Gettin ready to add some more RB's and other projections for them.
Good stuff. This is a useful format.You might want to check on the Denver RB situation, I hear there might be some news on that front.
Thanks! Always good to hear when someone appritiates the work! I dont want to speculate until i hear officially that Henry is out or suspended and Young is in. Thanks for the suggestions, they are ALWAYS welecome.LMF

Haha yea that is pretty ludacris. LOL. But again noone knows Henry's status right now 100%.LMF

 
nice man, I like it.

One thing i don't agree with is that, you have Sammy Morris' projected pts for when if Maroney can't play LOWER than Maroney's points if maroney can play. Don't you think it would be the other way around, since if Maroney plays, he will be sharing carries with Morris, but if Maroney doesn't play, Morris should score more pts because he will be pretty much featured once again?

 
Really nice post, thanks for your hard work. While I may not agree with everything here, it's a great list, and gems like this make the shark pool worth sifting through.

:unsure:

Thanks for all the comments and support guys! Really makes it worth it! I will probably have QB's and maybe one more up this afternoon. Also on LATE Saturday night i will probably put togather a master thread with all the rankings so you dont have to go back and forth between posts if your using it for making last minute changes.Thanks,Levi

I was actually just being a jerk when I posted that the other day. I thought it was funny. Now, it seems like I was serious in a way, but i wasn't.

I enjoyed your post. Good thoughts, thanks. I was kidding earlier. :o
