RBBC: Will the trend continue? (1 Viewer)

[comfortably numb]

This year, in my PPR league There are 3 sets of teamates that may finish in the top 25.

As of now

Bush #9

Deuce #15

MJD #12

Fred #14

MBIII #18

JJ #25

(Dillon #26 Maroney #29)

Without counting injuries, where a RB misses several games, I don't think we have seen this many successful RBBC.

Looking over last years stats.

I found Tatum #24 and Mike Anderson #12.

Has there ever been a case where this many teammates in a RBBC finished in the top 25?

Is this a trend that will continue?

It's funny that this thread comes about an hour after the thread that "FF is making more stud RBs than ever."

It's funny that this thread comes about an hour after the thread that "FF is making more stud RBs than ever."

I think the "Recieveing RB" also has alot to do with the STUD back becoming STUDLIER.Not to mention tha added emphasis on the Offense by the NFL.

Good postingMost of the recent ones, were goal line backs taking TD's from inside the 5.I wonder if teams will begin using the RBBC more to help keep their players healthy throughout the season.

wow... that's a big draught from 2000 through 2004... based on that historic info, i'd expect the trend to continue

Looking over last years stats.

Has there ever been a case where this many teammates in a RBBC finished in the top 25?

Is this a trend that will continue?

Here's an interesting thread by a good poster - not sure what happened to him.... The future of the RB position - Will feature backs become extinct?
