Ranking RBs more confusing this year? (1 Viewer)

[lazyike]

Really having a hard time ranking the some of the RB2s in PPR leagues Williams, Ingram, Greene, Best, Wells, Bradshaw, F Jones, Mathews.

Tough to determine the number of touches many will get much will be determined by performance, which ones are most likely to stay healthy and who can carry the load. Yes some have more opportunity but will they succeed? Many opinions out there about what the coaches plans are. Some will get goaline touches will others won't but will be more involved in the passing game. These are always the issues but this group really has me wondering who to take when I get to this spot in the 2-4 rounds.

Consider the health concerns:

Ingram has had major knee issues

Best has concussion concerns

Bradshaw has ankle problems

Williams had the foot sprain and at 28 is the oldest

Mathews and Wells have both been criticized for not being able to stay on the field.

Its not more confusing, its the usual. The hard thing is figuring out which ones end up Top 12 RBs.

Based on the talent of the 8 you listed, IMO at least 2 of them end up as Top 12 RBs. My bet is Felix, DWill, or Ingram.

In PPR I would rank them like this:

Williams: Panthers an enigma, but he is the clear-cut #1 and signing BIG 'new paper' speaks volumes going into this season

.

Bradshaw: Not a true bellcow, but is RB1-A, and more versatile/dynamic than Jacobs, should get similar workload as 2010

.

Ingram: He may be a year away from big time production, but TD opportunities and upside is just too good to pass up

Mathews: Tolbert is more of a threat to his touches than Jacobs or Pierre Thomas present to the two ahead of him IMO

Felix: Not a bellcow and I don't trust him to hold up to that kind of a workload, but PPR and Dallas offense gives him a bigger boost than Best.

.

Best: Not a bellcow and I don't trust him to hold up to that kind of a workload, but PPR gives him a boost

Wells: Wildcard-swing for the fences and all that, has enough talent to finish atop this group, but I just don't trust him enough to draft him as my RB2, would consider him and Best interchangeable in my rankings

Greene: Another swing for the fences type, but I consider him just a notch below Best/Wells

I'm considering oing WR-WR with the 12th and 13 th picks tommorrow in my local draft and with the 36 and 37th picks I would likely be looking at some of this group to be my RB1 and RB2. I sure hat e to pick the wrong 2 and end up with a couple that finish in that 20th to 30th range. I'm thinking Ingram and Best and handcuffing Harrison. I'm hoping I can find something in the 7-10th rounds with upside such as Starks, Hunter (after Gore goes down with his annual injury)
