Top 10 RBs after week 1 (1 Viewer)

[jurb26]

I'll say now that I think the top RB this year will either be R. Rice or DMAC.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

The Chiefs better get things moving or Charles might just fall off that list.

Pre-Weiss = Post-Weiss? Hope not.

 

[Cookiemonster]

My top 10 is the same exact 10 guys I had when I did my last draft. Only notable change is Mendenhall dropping due to the Steeler's oline issues (i.e. Willie Colon done for the year):

ADP

LBJ

Rice

McCoy

Dmac

Foster

Charles

Felix

Hightower

Mendenhall

Bron Bron?

A board nickname he picked up during his monumental rookie training camp hype thread. Light Blue Jesus = Chris Johnson AKA CJIII, CJ3, CJ2K, CJ4.24

I didn't know former President Lyndon Johnson was an NFL RB. Wow. That's why the SP rocks - can't get info like that anywhere else. Dexter Manley - bringing the solid since 2000.

Ok, let the person who always says how it is, actually break it down for the wannabe fantasy owners. Honestly, it goes to show the type of owner you are if you are panicing on certain players already. To put so much stock into the first week of the season is not what sharks who win leagues do, its also not very smart. It is more then ok to watch talent, and observe situations to see what players may have the best opportunity to win you that title for you this season. But it is not ok to assume a player who did not do well is not worth a roster spot, or is not really good. No need for examples, the fact is, if a players who is a stud did not get you points, your upset, and he sucks. It actually brings down this board a bit as players will misinform people with bias opinion because they are upset their team lost that week.

Take Mendenhall for Example, He played against a stout defense at home in a game that they got behind quick. He started off hot, then was a non factor as they were playing catch up. To think Mendy is not in the top 10 because of players like the Hightower hype is insane. thats why there are people who know about fantasy, and then other who just play it.

1. Rice

2. ADP

3. McCoy

4. Mendy

5. CK2K

6. Foster

7. DMC

8. Turner

9. MJD

10. Hillis

Some of the top 10 shifted, but to think Sproles deserves a spot, or Mendy should have fell out...are you serious?

Look at this coming season, you think Charles really is gonna perform this year? that team is horrible and will trail a lot of games...and he is their only playmaker, they can shut him down....AS THE BILLS JUST DID, LMAO.

Charles is not a top 10 runner this season. All hype from last year, this is a new season.

There's a difference between panic and believing your eyes. Refusal to believe your eyes is worse than panic. The sharks picked up Arian Foster after week 1 last year, even if it cost them a 2nd round player.Mendenhall was barely a top-10 back for me to begin with, so it isn't overreaction. He doesn't get receptions and he'll be lucky to average 4 ypc. Unless you think he's going to get 400 carries, he's pretty much capped out at 1,500 TOTAL yards. So, you're praying for TDs which is fine but their line stinks and there's always a chance Redman takes the GL job from him. Then what are you left with? A rich man's Cedric Benson, at the price of the 7th overall pick.Do you feel that Ryan Grant, Blount, Gore, Moreno, DeAngelo are just as valuable as they were at your draft? If so, then I hope you really enjoy fantasy football because it's tough win a league if you refuse to change your beliefs.

not to mention they lost one of their best run blockers for the year in Colon. That's a pretty huge week 1 injury.

First off let it be known, Foster went drafted in all leagues last year, lol. Average 9th round pick.So after reading that, responding to you is not needed as its obvious your knowledge is not up to par...not to mention your comments on Mendenhall show that you this is not the forum you should be on. You should see if "Home and Gardens" has a forum.

Not to mention Colon missed all of last year as well....and Mendy still had an elite year for runners.DO PEOPLE NOT READ THE THREADS?

 

[cvnpoka]

i wouldnt call rb7 elite. in ppr he was rb11. its not hard to envision a slight drop in carries and tds with roeth running the team in 4 more games.

 

[cheese]

JUST CUZ... I only skim some of these threads so you may have already posted it. Where did you rank Mendy relative to CJ and Foster preseason? Where did you rank Charles preseason?

If you had Mendy above those 2 going in and Charles out of the top 10, that would make sense. Since most of us didn't, Mendy can't look like garbage, put up horrible numbers, lose Colon, have his team play awful, and still jump people. It doesn't make sense.

For Charles, if you already had him out of the top 10, most of us are just choosing to acknowledge what you already believed. That should make you agree. If you had him much higher than that, then you are going against all of your own posts in this thread about not reevaluating (you might call it overreacting) after week 1.

Anyway, I would assume that you had Mendy top 4 preseason and Charles low preseason and you are holding steady which is fine. If so, I think the difference between your ranking of Mendy vs the majority has very little to do with week 1. I didn't want to put words in your mouth though so feel free to tell us your real preseason projections.

1400+ total yards and 13 scores aint elite? OK, glad you provide some info to this board. This comment looks like a guy just saying stuff.

My big league is a TD league, so yes I have Mendy above Charles, didnt even have Charles in the top 10 in my TD rankings. Remember not every league is PPR. In my TD league, the most purest of fantasy league, I play PPR as well and dominate that too...but when a catch for 0 yards is equal to a rush of ten yards, I hasve a problem with that. I also have Mendy in a PPR, but knew better then to start him against Balt...but like I said, I'm a good fantasy owner.

no that is not elite, bc elite is by definition "the best of a group" and when foster puts up over 100 more fantasy points than mendy, he cant be considered elite. nor when hes outscored by hillis, charles, and peterson by 20 fantasy points. not even gonna bother with ppr bc the discrepancy is even more decided.

Tim Hightower saw 47 percent of all the Redskins plays go through him on Sunday. He is officially the workhorse.

By "picked up" I meant traded for him if at all possible, not caring that you're offering your 2nd rounder even though Foster was a 5th rounder. Scooped up would have been better.

Not too many RBs do NOT have a complementary back--only the very top guys like Rice, ADP, and MJD.

Ricky Williams: 12-63Deji Karim: 14-33That's a lot of carries there. Granted Ravens were in a blowout, and Jags were up, too (still think MJD's on a snap count). I'd say everybody but ADP (and THT?) has a complementary back. And I'm not sure if that's great news for ADP or not. Sure, he's Superman, but I'd still worry about a breakdown if the Vikes can't relieve some of the burden (via the pass or more Gerhart).Barring injury, McFadden is Top 10 easily, probably top 5.With the Titans O-line, I'm not sure CJ is top 10. The interior of the line was bad last year, now the tackles are slipping. You can't run on the Jags? Not buying the holdout hangover excuse, selling on CJ, unless he stays heavily involved in the passing game (7 targets week 1 - might be more than he ever had with Kerry Collins).My Top 10 (PPG)1) ADP2) Foster 3) Rice4) McFadden5) Charles6) McCoy7) MJD8) Mendenhall9) CJ10) Jackson (10 PPG on 1 run

 

[oldmoney]

LOL- Bush got a lot of carries.

I think McFadden is top 5 in PPR and close to that in standard.

I'd put him at four ahead of CJ2k. And this is coming from someone who was not that high on DMac and loved CJ coming out of college.

How is McFadden getting a boost in PPR? He had one catch last night.

He had 47 for 507 last year. No reason after one week to think that will regress significantly.

You mean other than what happened in the game, right?

Right. I didn't see anything in last nights game to re-evaluate:
[*]OAK offensive scheme

[*]McFadden's role

[*]McFadden's ability to catch the ball

Maybe you saw something different?

He only had one target, so....yeah. He's on pace for a Turner like year.

And now... he's no longer on pace for a Turner like year. What was the different from last week?
