Safest RBs in the 30-40 Range (1 Viewer)

I'm in a 12 team, start 3 RB, non PPR, keep 4 league. When I'm drafting my 3rd RB, I'll be choosing amongst the following:

Morrency

Betts

C Taylor

C Brown

B Jackson

Foster

Droughns

White

This this will be an every week starter for me so I'm mostly interested in the lowest risk, safest bet for modest production.

Ranking your Top 3 with brief reasoning would be very helpful.

This really belongs in the assistant coach forum.The lowest risk I think would be B Jackson. The highest ceiling I think would be White.

Foster will most likely get work every week, but may have some very bad weeks.I think Morency will get the starting gig once he's healthy and would probably go with him, but there is some added risk with Jackson around and his current pre-season injury.I'd go with one of these two if you need a weekly starter.

Foster is a walking injury.

Not last year
 
The safest bet is to grab Jackson and Morency or White and C. Brown.

There is more of a chance that White and Brown will be there by the time you pick again if you pick in the middle. If you are close to the corners then Jackson and Morency is the better play. I like Morency to get the start when he is healthy, but because of his injury right now, I would take Jackson first then Morency with the next pick.

I honestly hadn't thought about using my first two picks to grab two RBs from the same Committee, but that probably is the safest. It will impact my quality at WR (we start 4 WRs) since I'll be waiting another round to address that need, but there are players I like at that position throughout the draft.Any other thoughts?

WRs non-ppr are a dime a dozen. Especially at the end.

This is the answer. :rolleyes:
 
when looking at RBs 30-40 why do you want a safe bet?

thats the time to look for boom/bust players, with low floors and high ceilings

I want a safe bet because my league starts 3 RBs every week. Based on my keepers, I have a contender and don't want to risk a bust with my first pick.
 
I really don't like any of these guys as a RB3. Can't you keep a better RB, drop a WR/QB/TE and then look to draft in that area?

Even if it's a start 2 league, I would always grab my #3 RB before my options got this slim.

in order:C Taylor - not concerned about sharing time with Adrian Peterson. this is a run, run, run offense. no passing threat. plenty of opportunity and he has shown he can produceB Jackson - best option right now for GB to develop. low ceiling, but low riskC Brown - he's the starter in Tenn, and he's shown his PPG is very high when healthy
