Second tier of rb’s (where this draft will be won and lost) (1 Viewer)

[Snorkelson]

Doesn't have to be a dude off the street. Could be a trade or someone cut after next week. 

The Texans gave a 3rd for duke (4th that will likely turn into a 3rd technically.) If they drafted Damien Harris in the 3rd or any of the other 3rd round backs they’d be chomping at the bit to get them. Duke Johnson isn’t Theo riddick.

How would you rank these players?

Scared of Fournette. burned once, won't go down that road again. Jags offense has been lethargic and slow as molasses in a cold January so far this preseason. nothing to like with him , his history is poor as an NFL RB. would never consider him a top 20 RB 

remember, all tiers have about 60% bust rate, meaning those in top 10 , for instance, 60% of them will not be in the top 10 the following season.same goes for 11-20.

you can throw aaron jones, fournette, Jordan Howard, D henry, D. Williams out of the top 20, and you can add D. Monty, Josh Jacobs, Duke Johnson.

Fournete.LOL. dude hasn't done anything special since LSU days and even then if he sneezed he got hurt. waste of a roster spot. JAG. or as  Mick used say, 'You're a bum.."

1,350 total yds and double digit TD's two years ago in 13 games as a rookie.

Dude sucks.

Also projected last year to 1400 yards and 14 tds in the quarters he played.

Deep stuff here.

Let’s all ignore his rookie stats, but call him a bum because of last year.  You should write articles.

To me the key to this draft is the draft is who in the second tier of rb’s will emerge as true impact players worthy of second round consideration. That said, I cannot decide in which order I should rank the following players in both a 1/2 point per and in standard. How would you rank this tier of players?

Joe Mixon - Talented rb playing behind a bad offensive line w/out AJ Green for the first few weeks

Leonard Fournette - Will we get the solid rookie output or the outright bust of 2018?

Dalvin Cook - Huge potential in good offense if he can only stay healthy 

Todd Gurley -  Superstar playing with arthritic knee. Role in question

Damian Williams - This years ultimate boom or bust player

Kerryon Johnson - Talented runner, but I fear the offense he is in as well as his coach and how he will be used.

Devonta Freeman - In great offense, but has he lost a step? Past first round pick who is still fairly young

Chris Carson - The Seahawks will run a ton, but will Penny steal touches? Is he worth where he is being drafted after a great finish in 2018?

Sony Michael - Underrated. Has huge potential (especially td potential) in NE. I put td over/under at 11.

Aaron Jones - Will he be the man in GB or will it be a committee? Has huge upside.

Josh Jacobs -  Will the rookie get enough touches? How will he be used?

I'd probably rank them like this in 1/2 ppr.

Assuming season of full health, Freeman has RB1 overall upside imo.  He plays in a dynamic offense and is a fantastic receiver.  

Assuming full health for Freeman seems like s stretch though, sadly.
