You drop LT to 9th overall because of his "slow start?

2008

Week 1: 21 carries for 97 yds

Week 2: 10 carries for 26 yds

2007

Week 1: 17 carries for 25 yds

Week 2: 18 carries for 43 yds

Week 3: 22 carries for 62 yds

Week 4: 20 for 132 yds

Week 5: 21 for 67 yds

Week 6: 24 for 198 yds

LT is a slow starter.

But please.. let's continue to ignore that and drive his value down

Just guessing, but that LT ranking probably reflects the toe injury, not a slow start.

 

[the_future420]

Barber should have never been #9. Forte shouldn't have been in the top 10. meh...

It definitely has to do with his injury but I would disagree with the slow start comment. In his last 5 years LT has had 39,30,44,18 and then 13 fantasy points in his first 2 games.

Michael Turner die?

No way in hell you take Forte above him right now.

Michael Turner die?No way in hell you take Forte above him right now.

No way in hell, heaven, earth or purgatory would I take Michael Turner above Forte. Turner had a good game against the Lions, He did nothing against a good NFL defense, like I thought last week he wouldn't, and got dinged up. I haven't been a huge Turner believer all year and I'm not going to start now. Forte looks great and as long as the Bears defense and special teams can keep them in games he's getting the ball.....a lot.

Turner had a GREAT game against the Lions. Forte had a good game against the Colts. Lions ~ Colts. Forte was at 4ypc against the Panthers. The Bucs defense is better than the Falcons.In the divison Turner gets New Orleans and Panthers; Forte the Packers and Vikings. Falcons have Matt Ryan and Roddy White. Bears have Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd.

What the heck is Addai doing in the top 10?

Even Peyton recognizes the Colts run game has nothing going for it right now.

"Our running game is . . . it's hard to call it a running game right now,'' the quarterback said Sunday after rallying the Colts to an 18-15 win at Minnesota that was as one-dimensional as it was unlikely. "I wouldn't think defenses would be biting too hard on our run fakes right now. Even if I hand off, it's not going anywhere.''.

[Chaka]

The omission of Bush while including Addai is highly suspect.

 

[valhallan]

I would take Forte over Turner too. He has posted two nice games and the Bears have the defense to keep giving him opportunities. The Falcons will be playing from behind most of the year.

sigh....Peyton also said Addai needs more touches, so he wasn't blaming Addai.

Looking forward, Addai belongs in the top-10, but based on weeks 1 & 2 he doesn't. I guess the question is - do you base your draft on what people did, or what they will do?

Forte in the the top-10? Maybe #10.

Barber obviously has shown over the first two games that he's top-5. I never expected Jones to be worked in so slowly.

Turner, looked amazing against the worst defense, and just ok against one of the best. I'd have him in my top-10.

Bush belongs in the top-10 too.

LT has to slide, who knows how long the injury will linger.

Westy, ADP, Barber, Lynch, Turner, Bush, CJohnson, Forte, Addai... I've got to be missing someone.... and not necessarily in that order either

They have played two pretty tough run d's so far (Minn. and Chicago). I'm prepared to buy Addai low

That's my problem with Forte. Nice doesn't win championships. I don't know if he'll ever have a 150-2 game. Certainly I could be wrong, but I just don't see that talent in him or the potential in that offense. Now, if Orton morphed into a legit QB and Lloyd into an NFL-caliber starting WR, maybe.(It's easy to come back and say Turner's performance against the Bucs won't, either, but I'd like to see Forte and the Bears against Tampa Bay for a direct comparison. Obviously it's only two weeks and we need to monitor this as the season goes on.)

I'm sorry if the word "nice" set you off, but the operative word was "two". Forte is 4th in rushing yards and it's based on two performances, not just one like Turner.You seem to be pretty convinced that Matt Ryan is light years better than Kyle Orton. I'm not. But regardless of the QB situations, Chicago's defense is far superior to Atlanta's and will provide the opportunity for 20 carries a game for Forte. I could see Atlanta falling behind like they just did to the Brian Griese-led Bucs nearly every week and having to abandon their run game.

I didn't say it was Addai's fault just that they have no running game. And it certainly does not appear that it is going to be fixed overnight. If Saturday comes back complete then there is more reason for optimism.

I get that. And you think Addai will outperform LT for the rest of the year.So why exactly did Bush, who has put up excellent numbers in two games (PPR or otherwise) and has what looks to be a very easy schedule fall out of the top 10, but a guy like Addai who has done nothing and looks to play one of the more brutal schedules in the league merely drop two spots?

First off I love Reggie and would probably have him @ 11 but Addai is a very good and healthy starting rb without a lot of competition for a very good offense. In my opinion I'll go with my gut on this one.And yes I would rather have Addai right now than LT. I had concerns about LT going into the season due to his injury at the end of last year and his age. Addai is in his prime, just wait til Manning gets back to Manning form and Addai will follow

gore deserves top be in top 5, maybe top 3

agreed gore should be higher, if he were on a contender, everyone would be talking about him.

No Earnest Graham?!? for all the talk that he was going to be embroiled in a RBBC in TB, that has not happened yet..He's outplayed Addai, Forte, done more with fewer carries than most of those guys on your list..he's averaging a sick 8.3 yards per carry , tops in the NFL for RB's. Graham is also tied for first place in the longest run from scrimmage category for a RB (68 yards, tied with M. Turner)..and he's only avg'd 12.5 carries/gm, yet is in 7th place in rushing yards after two weeks, on just 25 carries..

 

[jbz]

I think you answered your own question about Earnest Graham. Do you think he can possibly maintain that ypc average? The facts are he's averaging 12.5 carries a game. Clearly not enough touches to be considered a top 10 RB. The ypc will average out and let's say he averages a robust 5 yards per carry. With those many carries that's still far less then 100 yrds a game.
