Name the only four eight RBs since the merger to not rank in the top 10 fantasy RBs in any of their first five seasons, but would rank in the top 10 in at least one season in their career.

Wow, excellent question. Let me mull this one a bit. Lamont Jordan would be my first guess.

 

[wannabee]

Stephen Davis?

 

[Raider Nation]

Lamar Smith.

 

[Raider Nation]

Tyrone Wheatley.

 

[MarshallRob]

Charles White

 

[Chase Stuart]

Lamont Jordan would be my first guess.

Ranked 8th in his fifth year.

 

[Dirty Weasel]

Tiki Barber is one of them. I'll post again if I can think of others.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Stephen Davis?

Ranked 4th in his 4th year.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Lamar Smith.

Highest ranking was 11th in his 7th year.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Tyrone Wheatley.

Highest rank was 13th in his 5th year.

[Chase Stuart]

Charles White

White is correct. But he wasn't in my initial query. I have no idea how I didn't catch him. I gotta think for a minute and see what I did wrong. , tho.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Tiki Barber is one of them. I'll post again if I can think of others.

Barber is one of the original four I was thinking of. Correct.

Thomas Jones?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Charles White

White is correct. But he wasn't in my initial query. I have no idea how I didn't catch him. I gotta think for a minute and see what I did wrong. :( , tho.

White didn't play in 1983, which would have been his fourth season in the league. That's what caused the problem. He's not showing up as not top ten in his fourth year because he didn't play in that season; so I suppose any RB that missed a full year in his first five seasons would have been missed. I'll see if I can quickly find out how many, if any, other RBs were accidentally excluded.

He didn't achieve a higher rank in his 8th year rather than his 7th?

:(More egg on my face, here. A stupid typing error caused me to miss Hearst here. Hearst, Riggins, Barber, Jones are correct. There are still two more.

He ranked 12th in his 7th year and 14th in his 8th year. Regardless, none of those were top ten seasons. Do you see something differently?

 

[Dirty Weasel]

James Stewart fits the bill, but he did have 13 TD's in his 5th year

One other RB was excluded. I also missed on the first go around a RB that did not rank in the top 10 in his first five years, but ranked 10th later on (I think I was looking at lower than 10th in my initial search, so I missed him).That means there are two more to find.

Garner is correct. I actually thought the first three would be pretty easy: Garner, Barber and Jones. The (original) last one is a little tougher, but someone should get it soon.But there are still three out there (after I found two more).

What ranking are we using? Yards, carries, TD's, or combo?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Hint/Clarifier: One of the remaining players missed a couple of seasons. So he did not rank in the top 10 in any of the first five years after he was drafted, but he did technically rank in the top 10 in his first five years of actually playing. But I'm counting him.
