These are my rankings from what I've seen this year. Basically how I would draft guys if I drafted today
I'm not sure what is so funny. If we're basing this off what they've done so far, then Bush has outscored Forte. If we're basing this off the players moving forward, I wouldn't wager much cash on Forte continuing to outscore those guys.
A lot of gutsy calls on this one in my opinion. Kudos for that, but I think you are very wrong on a couple guys. I'd go something like this:1. Peterson, perhaps by a wide margin2. Gore, he's really looked good and that team should only get better3. LT, I guess I have a lot of faith in him, he usually gets hot in October/November4. Addai, Indy's o-line is healthy and Manning will be back to normal.5. Portis, so consistent6. Barber, only question is how many carries he gets.7. Turner, I get wanting to see him do it against a good team, but Atlanta doesn't face many.8. Westbrook, I'm assuming he's out this week, if healthy he moves ahead of Barber.9. Forte, I really worry about him hitting the wall soon, but he's pretty consistent right now.10. Lynch, really expected more from him this year, where are the yards?ETA: Honorable mention to Bush, CJ, LJ and Jackson.Blackjacks said:
LJ has had two good weeks and two bad weeks. I didn't like him prior to the season and I still don'tAnonymousBob said:
I love how Forte is the focal part of their offense. He always gets his carries and catches. He has shown consistency over the first four weeks and I believe he will continue, especially when the yahve to run the ball in the winter in Chicago.LT has looked better the last two games but still doesn't look right. Turner, I've said many of times I'm concerned about him facing good defensesWesty...health. If I knew he was healthy he would definitely be higher.Bush...I have him and I love him but sometimes his inconsistency gets to meAnonymousBob said:
Yes I wouldTheFanatic said:AnonymousBob said:
So why do you have LT @ #3, Addai #4...What have they shown you (except for having big names) to warrant that spot?Not a bad list we just differ a little
LJ has had only one bad week so far.
That's what I was laughing at. His reasoning on this is ridiculous.AnonymousBob said:I'm not sure what is so funny. If we're basing this off what they've done so far, then Bush has outscored Forte.

I think they are both on great offenses, have good track records and have very good reasons as to why they aren't in the top-5 right now.Injuries to Addai's QB and o-line seem to not be a problem anymore and that was the big reason for his slow start. In LT's case it was injuries to himself, but he seems to be improving and SD has an easy schedule and he's never really been an early season guy anyway, maybe because he never plays in the preseason.
Wrong LBJ, dude...
WTF is LBJ?
This is why I hate the nicknames, you need to follow the SP every day to keep up with monikers. LBJ = Light Blue Jesus = Chris Johnson = CJ (I think?)
WOW is that a serious nickname given by people here?
I hated the nickname at first but it's really grown on me. It's somewhat clever and it's better than yet another CJ. Light Blue Jesus has become the savior to the Titans running attack.
After four weeks Turner is the #1 rb in most standard scoring leagues.
Gotcha. I completely agree with you.With that said, I really hope Blackjacks doesn't stop doing these threads.That's what I was laughing at.

Lyndon B Johnson was a star RB for Yale, wasn't he?
CJ3 would be on my do not draft list, I think he's the most overhyped player in football right now.
Yeah i'd laugh in his face too and say thanks for letting me rob you.
unless, you're
I don't see how you can make that statement. JAX 15/93/6.2; 3/34/11.3/1@CIN 19/109/5.7/0; 2/12/6.0/0HOU 16/74/4.6/0; 2/5/2.5/0MIN 17/61/3.6/2; 3/14/4.7/0He's 7th in the NFL in rushing yards (337) and 2nd in the AFC (behind LJ).
I agree w/ your assessment of Lynch (I own him & Gore). Lycnh actually hasn't looked at all explosive this year; looks a little slow, BUT, he does run hard. Does that make sense? Week 4 at StL was a big disappointment, even though he did have two 20+ yd runs called back due to penalty. I'm not "worried" about Lynch, but I also do not see him as a top 5 guy; I see him as fringe top 10.
Possibly, but too much hype = inflated ADP = no value.He might be overhyped, but he's still top 10.
perhaps, but if you're making your top 10 list, inflated ADP shouldn't be a factor.Possibly, but too much hype = inflated ADP = no value.He might be overhyped, but he's still top 10.
Standard scoring.....no PPR
Thanks, I'll keep doing them. I don't expect everyone to agree with my view. I just hate when people make their statements off rankings instead of watching the games. If a player breaks off a 80 yard run and isn't touched and ends up with 20 carries for 105 and a td does that really make him better than a guy who looked great the whole game and moved the pile but never broke the big one for a long td and ended up with 15 carries for 75, so his stats don't look quite as good? I like to watch all the games I can and judge for myself instead of just where a player ranks. (Hence why I've kind of been down on Turner)Gotcha.

He's only had one bad week and also only had 12 carries that week.
The best part is? I'm in a league with BJs. I play him this week. In that league we are both last in our conferencesAnonymousBob said:Gotcha.

Are you going to make another list based off of week 10 stats too? Guarantee it looks different.Blackjacks said:
Yes. I will update it every week.
No, the best is we were both favorites to be in the playoffs this year and now we are in last place. Damn Tom Brady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The best part is? I'm in a league with BJs. I play him this week.

nice list but your forgetting the #3 rusher in the NFL, Larry JohnsonBlackjacks said:
I'm not forgetting him
Larry showed me what he was made of today
My predictions for next week for your thread:LT down.Lynch down.Gore about same.Portis up.Barber about same.Bush TBDTurn up a few.Forte about same.New additions: Maybe Addai and Slaton?
