We're a quarter of the way thru the season. I thought we should rank the RBs top to bottom for ROS. Ill try and do a top 40. This is obviously open to debate which I hope we can discuss.
STUD RB1s:
1. Foster- gets a ton of touches on a run first team, Tate is an afterthought
2. Rice- the team passes too much to put him #1, still a stud
3. McCoy- TDs will come, stud offense
4. Peterson- appears fully healthy, theyll ride him all year
5. Charles- we're finally seeing what he can do when he gets all the touches
Mid tier RB1s (will have the occasional dud):
6. MJD- terrible team but he'll put up his #s by year end
7. McFadden- injury prone and the OLine has issues but still a stud and catches the ball out of the endzone
8. Forte- he's the Bears whole offense, wont get goal line TDs but never did
9. Murray- OLine issues but hes locked in as a big part of DAL offense
Lower tier RB1s (tough to bench but will have a # of duds):
10. Spiller- I see a 60/40 split with FJax but Spiller is such a stud I still think hes an RB1
11. Lynch- boring but gets the job done and will get a ton of carries. Plays in a tough division
12. Richardson- guy is so talented but the team is so bad
13. Bush- guy looks damn good and is locked in to get a ton of touches
14. Sproles- PPR stud
Upper tier RB2s (will put up some RB1 games, matchup plays but you probably cant afford to bench them most weeks):
15. Ridley- ALOT of mouths to feed but the guy is flat out good
16. McGahee- so under rated, just keep performing
17. Mathews- Im starting to lose faith, probably wont get goal line touches. Obviously he can jump into tier 2
18. Morris- I dont fear the Shenanigans anymore, guy is locked in as a fulltime RB, doesnt catch passes
19. BJGE- another under rated player, getting a ton of TDs. Starting to fumble which is worrisome
Mid tier RB2s (the old guard):
20. Gore- Starting to get old, losing touches
21. SJax- tough schedule, alot of miles
22. Johnson- was this week fools gold? I think hes done IMO
23. Turner- he'll get TDs, not much else
Lower tier RB2s (matchup plays):
24. Benson- good offense should give him ample opportunities
25. Martin- he doesnt look good at all, starting to lose touches to Blount. Ill keep him up here for now but can move down
26. Bradshaw- we'll see what happens tonight but I still say 60/40 split with Brown which should be enough. He can easily move up or down
27. LeShoure- getting a lot of touches but Im not sure he can handle the workload or is that good
28. FJackson- worse half of the RBBC IMO
29. DBrown- nothing special, not much competition
RB3s (flex plays):
30. RWilliams- terrible OLine, tough division, little competition
31. DWilliams- getting the goal line looks but splits with Stewart
32. Stewart- gets the catches but splits with Williams
33. Mendenhall- I have no clue if he is healthy but if he is will have little competition and will move up. Putting him here for now
The rest (intriguing handcuffs that can be studs if starters get healthy but still low end flex):
Tate, ABrown, Bolden, Battle, Bush, Thomas, Rogers
Handcuffs that can be studs if starter gets hurt, little value if else:
BPowell, LMiller, Pierce, BBrown, Gerhart, Bell, Blount, Hunter, DRichardson, Turbin
Everyone else is droppable IMO. Feel free to tear this apart/discuss
