Lower End RB2 and WR2 (1 Viewer)

[3nOut]

I think there pretty much is a consensus (more or less) on the top 19-20 RBs and WRs, perhaps ordered slightly differently. I think that the dicey choices start at around #20 (at each position) for your #2 RB and WRs in a 12-team league. These choices can make or break a lot of seasons. The following are what I think are the tiers for lower end RB2s and WR2s and the negative arguements I've heard about them. Many sites have most of these players ranked at 20-28 range. Which would you feel confident in drafting as your #2? Wouldyou be against havoing a rookie as your #2? Rank the top 5 of each if you'd like or simply discuss.

RBs

E. James - Too old? Not the same as he was in Indy.

A. Green - Too old. Plays in a bad offense?

A. Peterson - Rookie and splitting time with C. Taylor. Will Taylor be the #1 in Minny?

C. Williams - Over-rated. Injury prone/herniated discs.

D. Williams - Not proven. Will split with Foster.

M. Lynch - Rookie and RBBC

J. Lewis - Washed up. Majority of his yards came AGAINST Cleveland.

B. Jacobs - Can he carry the load? Injury rsk because of his upright style? Splitting carries with Droughns?

T. Bell - Kevin Jones will eventually be back. Will he lose carries or the #1 spot when he does?

J. Jones - Whos the #1 in Dallas? Jones or Barber?

WRs

P. Burress - Eli not improving? All depends on him.

Reg. Brown - All depends on McNabb

D. Branch - Is Seattle O on downturn? Is Seattle's #1 really a decent FF #2?

S. Moss - Injury prone, young QB. Weeklyhit or miss.

J. Galloway - QB questions. Soid but a #2?

C. Chambers - Talent but QB is in question.

V. Jackson - Run first team and Gates makes more of a high WR3

B. Edwards - QB issues and injury prone?

For me it would be a tough choice picking a #2 from these buckets.

Noone has an opinion on these RBs and WRs? Even the "human scarecrow" thread whch was in the worng forum received more responses.

 

[gump]

IMO...

Edge is clearly #1 of your list.

Next I'd group Deangelo and ADP. Maybe Lynch if I like what I see in preseason.

A little lower with Caddy, Green, and Jacobs. Just not sold on Green.

Burress clear #1 WR on your list.

Then Edwards, Brown, and Moss.

I'm in 10-team leagues and usually wait on QBs...so don't expect any of the listed to be my RB #2 or WR #2...except possibly Edge.

Thanks gump, but aren't you afraid of Edge losing GL carries to Shipp?

 

[-Crippler-]

Burress is the easy pick of those WRs. For RB I think Edge and Jacobs stand out for me.

If you want any info on these guys individually, there are other threads for each of them. I'm sure you can find rankings everywhere on this site as well. I'm not surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for the 100th thread asking basically the exact same thing over and over...rankings

 

[3nOut]

So edge and Burress are the only guys on this list you'd feel comfortable with as your #2s? If not them, then who would be good #2s? Or is the dropoff so bad that they are all the same and it doesn't matter (you're screwed)?

That may be true, but most threads that I've seen primarily discuss the top 20, where I believe we are all in consensus (pretty much). The success of you team does not lie there (IMO), but instead at these positions. I'm just trying to focus in for this discussion.

 

[Jayrod]

I'd rank these RB's like this:

#1 E. James - Not too old yet and has a new run oriented coach and a stellar passing game to keep defensive players out of the box.

#2 B. Jacobs - Not really an injury risk, but more of an issue of consistancy. Is a force in short yardage, won't get great yardage numbers, but should get good TD #'s (10+).

#3 A. Green - He's a great fit for Houston and the O-line is actually good at run blocking, they just suck at pass blocking.

#4 D. Williams - While still splitting with Foster, is the better back and will get more consistant looks this year and has a lot of room to improve.

#5 A. Peterson - Chester Taylor is solid and will be a big detractor to AP's success this year. AP is good, but not in that offense with limited carries.

#6 M. Lynch - Talented, but has the learning curve and will not carry the full load for Buffalo this year (who doesn't have a good offense to begin with).

#7 C. Williams - That team is just bad and he may never be as healthy as he was in 2005.

#8 J. Jones - Should get 50 - 100 yds/game but very few TD's.

#9 T. Bell - Will be a great start until Kevin Jones comes back, then he will be a change of pace back. If KJ is ready to start the season, T Bell shouldn't even be in this tier of backs.

#10 J. Lewis - He is in a run-down back on a bad team. Will be more consistant than some of the above backs, but has no upside.

Surprised more people haven't chimed in on these. This is where the scouting comes into place and when the Football guys distance themselves from the casual Fefers RB's

Lynch i see his athleticism, have heard and seen good things about him,picking up blocking scheme. Jauron runs the ball, A-Train is only there to challenge him and to lessen the workload (Addai,Rhodes)

Jacobs Runs over people that are smaller than him which includes most everyone, shiftier than people think

James the number of carries alone should give him decent numbers plus new coaching staff, 2nd half he improved

Green He has had 6 1k seasons, Reunited with OC Mike Sherman and improved QB situations

Wr's

Burress Eli's top target, bad defense equals lots of shootouts

Jackson End Zone threat option, Defacto #1 Parker gone, he is tall and 3rd year

I would take those guys as #2's, I have these 3 rb's in my top 20.

 

[TheWick]

RBs

E. James - Should get better in new offense and can carry the load.

A. Green - Clear #1

J. Jones - Could be top 10 if he gets the carries...big upside

C. Williams - if healthy

D. Williams - For some reason Fox like Deshaun

A. Peterson - Seems to get dinged alot

M. Lynch - RBBC

B. Jacobs - RBBC

T. Bell - Could be VERY good for the first half of the season then will wear down or KJ will be back.

J. Lewis - No way would I want him as RB2. Zero upside

Thats my order. I'm not sure what the current ADP is of T. Bell but haveing him and KJ would be nice. Who ever is starting will be very good in PPR

[Native]

From the receivers you listed, I like Plaxico, Branch and Chambers the best. I think these guys can all surpass 1000 yards and have upside as high as the top 12-15. Im not saying that they will definitely finish there, but I feel they have higher ceilings than the others. Vincent Jackson is a nice breakout candidate but id put him at the next tier.

Regarding RB's, I'll start with those players whom I dont like. I think Edges game has regressed to the point where I wouldnt be surprised if his yardage and TD totals continue to drop in 07. Hes not nearly the same player as the guy who won the rushing title with the Colts. Likewise, I have little faith in Jamal Lewis (too slow and bulky) or Caddilac Williams (too much finesse and a poor offense for a guy that will be picked relatively high). I also feel the Vikings offense will struggle with a new QB under center and will stunt the growth of Adrian Peterson. Who does that leave?

Of the group you listed, I like Ahman Green the best. Hes probably not a popular choice, but I still think he has some juice in his legs and will have some opportunities to score points in Houston. I think Tatum Bell has the chance to establish himself as the #1 RB in Detroit. Finally, I like Marshawn Lynch's upside and would list him at #3 on your list - even though he has an equally good chance of flopping.

Good topic for discussion here.

 

[crimsonrebel]

jamal lewis' upside is an imporved o line in cleveland. Id take him as rb 3, and definitely as a rb 4

Not surprisingly, we continue to have a variety of opinions on certain "bordeline" players (Edge, Caddy, ADP) although more of a consensus on others (A. Green and J. lewis ) This is what makes this decision tough and can ruin your season if you make the wrong choice.

 

[3nOut]

Let me bump this up now tht its 2 weeks later. Still have many questions regardng thse players:

RBs

E. James - Hasn't looked good. I don't believ they will be a run firt team. Leinart and the recivers will e the focal point (its their strength)

A. Green - Loked OK, but RB2? I think I'd wait and hope he falls. would be great RB3.

A. Peterson - Some threads/stories claim that Taylor will remain the starter despite AD's impressive performance. Lets see after the next game.

C. Williams - 3 carries for -1 vs. Jax? McCown outrushed him by 38 yards!

D. Williams - Is Foster the starter? Foster has looked a little better than D. Wiliams. Foster had 3/18 vs PHI.

M. Lynch - Rookie and RBBC. Will F. Jackson be part of te mix (9/22 rushing and 3/31 rec. vs ATL)?

J. Lewis - Solid outing vs DET (7/28). averaged 4ypc, but thats against DET...

B. Jacobs - Can he carry the load? Injury risk because of his upright style? Splitting carries with Droughns? Questions remain thugh he lookd solid.

T. Bell - Has looked good (vs CLE) but K. Jones will eventually be back. Will he lose carries or the #1 spot when he does? Now add TJ to the mix.

J. Jones - Whos the #1 in Dallas? Jones or Barber? Both looked good, but is either a RB2?

WRs

P. Burress - Eli not improving? All depends on him. Giants O does not look good.

Reg. Brown - McNabb looked good but did brown even play?

D. Branch - Is Seattle O on downturn? Is Seattle's #1 really a decent FF #2?

S. Moss - Injury prone, young QB. Weekly hit or miss. Hs looke OK but a WR2?

J. Galloway - Not impressed with TB O. I think Boston may be a bettr value later.

C. Chambers - Talent but QB is in question.

V. Jackson - Run first team and Gates makes him more of a high WR3, although he had three targets and got a redzone TD. Not a big name yet and may fall.

B. Edwards - QB issues and injury prone? Has looked retty good... but its CLEVELAND...

Is there anyone else that should be considered for RB2 or WR2?

 

[Alias]

Has Edge looked bad? I was targetting him for my RB2, him or Jacobs - I am fairly certain Benson will be available to me as well but I don't think I could pull the trigger on him. This is a 16 team league (start 2 RB w/ a flex) and I pick 11th.

ETA - Don't put too much stock into preseason stats.

 

[Wingnut]

WRs

P. Burress - Eli not improving? All depends on him.

Reg. Brown - All depends on McNabb

D. Branch - Is Seattle O on downturn? Is Seattle's #1 really a decent FF #2?

S. Moss - Injury prone, young QB. Weeklyhit or miss.

J. Galloway - QB questions. Soid but a #2?

C. Chambers - Talent but QB is in question.

V. Jackson - Run first team and Gates makes more of a high WR3

B. Edwards - QB issues and injury prone?

When DJax was healthy in Seattle, he was a monster (ff ppg). After having all offseason to work together, I think Hass and Branch will have good chemistry this year, and Im sure Branch knows the offense inside-out by now.If SA is even 85% healthy this year, I dont see a huge drop off production wise for this offense. Id definately be comfy with Branch as my WR2.

 

[Scruff Mcgruff]

RB- Edge, Jacobs and Ahman Green

WR- Plaxico Burress, Reggie Brown and Braylon Edwards

I think Edwards is probably the most surprising choice. I am much higher on him than most this year. I just feel like he's too talented to not make an impact regardless of the QB issues. Jamal Lewis is in the twilight of his career but is still more talented than the rbs on the team last year. Winslow emerging last year gives the browns a powerful option to take the pressure off Edwards. Not to mention he is completely healthy going into the season this year.

 

[Bartguy]

I think the biggest issue here is where these guys are being drafted. While all these RBs are best as RB3s, some of them are better values at RB2 in round 4 (especially when combined with the stud WR you could take in round 2-3) instead of the RBs in the 15-20 range.

So, if you're leery of burning your #2 or #3 on say, Portis, Benson, Thomas Jones, EDGE JAMES etc, here's how I'd rank them.

Edge James ADP 23 - you'd have to take him in the late 2nd of a 12 team league, so I think he is the poster boy for the guy you'd pass over to pick one of these other guys below.

A. Green ADP 49 - Could put up similar numbers to Edge, but going in the late fourth, early fifth. He might be getting on and doesn't offer much upside, but could hold the fort at your 2 spot and gives you the opportunity to add a T.O., Reggie Wayne in the second round.

A. Peterson ADP 48 - Big upside, but might let you down early in the season as your #2. (That's a problem for me because my league starts with 3 interdivisional games and I like to come out of the gate strong.) Also think his ADP is rising fast, so by the time a lot of us draft he could be a late second, early third round guy. NET: A better choice as a #3 for the stud RB drafter than a #2 for the guy looking to wait at RB this year.

B. Jacobs ADP 40 - Looks like a pretty safe choice to put up at least decent RB2 numbers because you know he'll get the red zone carries. Upside to be a really good RB2.

M. Lynch ADP 44 — Young legs and should catch a lot of passes to augment his rushing numbers. But a brutal schedule. I like his chances to be a worthy #2.

Cadillac Williams ADP 42 — doesn't split carries and should have a better passing game this year to take the pressure off. But I worry about a guy who didn't split carries last year and couldn't get it done.

DeAngelo Williams ADP 51 — Has had every chance to win the staring job and hasn't. Potential, but might start the season as the RB2 on his own team. That's not good for the RB2 on your team.

Jamal Lewis ADP 55 — As a 5th round choice, you could roster him as your #3 AFTER taking a bunch of the other guys we're talking about. So, no upside, but a safe downside.

T. Bell ADP 73 — Another guy who's ADP would allow you to roster him after many of these other players. If you're waiting until the 6th-7th round to take your RB2, I think your problems aren't about who to pick as your 2, they're about WHEN. Good #3 for the beginning of the season or if you think K. Jones won't rebound from his injury.

J. Jones ADP 63 — Good value here, but you could also get him as a #3.

This seems like a bit of a contradiction. If the Giants are going to be in a lot of shootouts (coming from behind a lot), then they would most certainly be abandoning the running game in the 3rd/4th quarters. The Giants are going to be a bad team this year. I wouldn't take Jacobs as my 3rd RB, let alone my second.

honorable mention: Marshawn Lynch is not going to do anything this year either. Buffalo has the toughest schedule against the run. A lot of people on these boards are expecting a break out year from Losman which would help Lynch, but I don't see it.

I would be more inclined to go with Edge or Green over Jacobs or Lynch.

But Edge, Grren, and possibly lynch may mot get GL carries.

 

[3nOut]

A. Peterson ADP 48 - Big upside, but might let you down early in the season as your #2. (That's a problem for me because my league starts with 3 interdivisional games and I like to come out of the gate strong.) Also think his ADP is rising fast, so by the time a lot of us draft he could be a late second, early third round guy. NET: A better choice as a #3 for the stud RB drafter than a #2 for the guy looking to wait at RB this year.

Excellent point. My first three games are divisoinal games and divisional games are used as tiebreakers sometimes in my league.

 

[3nOut]

With all the hype, i don't expect AD to fall to me in my keeper league 1st round. Of all the Rbs i mentioned in my initial post, I am now leaning toward these three (IF AD falls):

Jacobs: scored 9 TDs with Tiki there, how can he not improve on that. My league is TD heavy scoring so he may be worth the pick.

AD: A lot of upside thugh i will need to find a solid RB3 for the first 3 or so weeks before AD becomes the main back

Edge: more carries and yards but losing the GL carries hurts

All of the others have too many questions to be considered as a RB2.

 

[UW72]

Am I the only one who thinks Jamal Lewis could be great this year?

He is the clear starter in an offense with an unexperienced QB (whoever it will be), so I asume CLE will run a lot to take pressure from the QB.

The O-Line has improved during off-season, so why is there no love for Jamal?

From the listed players I'd go with:

Edge

Jacobs

Lewis

Burress

Brown

Branch

in that order

 

[cnguy19]

could deuce be added to this group of rbs? if so where would he rank among these guys

 

[3nOut]

Although Deuce is part of an RBBC, he still contributes and will be a very productive RB2. He will and should be drafted before any of these guys.

 

[Raiders Fan]

Am I the only one who thinks Jamal Lewis could be great this year?

Nope I am with you.. I am hearing good things. No bone spur. Has showed burst which he didn't last year. On a team where he is the clear cut #1 and most likely goalline. He is only 27 people.. I took him as my #3 RB.. Hopefully get through my bye weeks..
