Looks good except I would put Foster at #4 and drop MJD down to #12

brandon jackson must be on your team.

What in god's name is B Jackson doing at #16? I had the #1 WW when Grant went down, picked up this loser and immediately attempted to move him. With only a few days before his first stinker of a game, the best offer i got was Demaryius Thomas who i was incredibly high on. I stupidly turned it down hoping he would have a decent game against one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL, so i could move him for higher value, but unfortunately he couldn't even do that. I played high school football, was pretty good too. I should have got some sleep medication, put it in his morning tea, knocked him out of commission for 2 days, made a bjackson mask, colored my skin darker, and went in his place. I'm sure i could have raised his value higher myself. This isn't much of a confidence in my own abilities, just a realization on how worthless b jackson truly is. The rest of your list is ok.Mine would be (with the names you provided, since it is too much work to see if you left anyone out that i like):1 Adrian Peterson2 Chris Johnson3 Ray Rice4 Maurice Jones-Drew5 Frank Gore6 Arian Foster7 Jahvid Best8 LeSean Mccoy9 Rashard Mendenhall10 Steven Jackson11 Michael Turner12 Deangelo Williams13 Matt Forte14 Cedric Benson15 Darren Mcfadden16 Jamaal Charles17 Ahmad Bradshaw18 Knowshon Moreno19 Pierre Thomas20 Justin ForsettIf it is a keeper league i would rank them different. I believe the MJD bashing is overdone. I am in the process of trading Vick for MJD in my main keeper/ppr league. The guy won't do it straight up, so i added the horrible brandon jackson hoping beyond hope that he is still under the impression that Bjak has value. I have Vick and Orton as my backup, he has Carson palmer, lol, as QB. I was also thinking of a Vick+LT+Bjackson for MCfadden and Beenie Wells. I am very high on Beenie. He is going to be an absolute STUD!

 

[ponchsox]

I'm curious where Peyton Hillis falls on this list since he has outscore many of the 10-20. #21?

 

[gethugefast1]

As a D-Will owner I would put him lower than #13.

I like having 3 of ur Top 9.

 

[JMJ]

LaDanian Tomlinson anyone? Guy looks ridiculously good and quick again and has pretty much taken over the starter's job and the lion's share of the carries on a very good football team.

Not saying top 10, but he has already done better and should be projected to do much better than a lot of the guys you have ranked 11-20.

 

[Touchdown Syndrome]

I'm definitely taking Ryan Mathews over Brandon Jackson.

He looked more than capable before his injury, and he could be back as soon as this week.

 

[OMG! Ponies!]

how in the hell is MJD in ANYONE'S top 5? really?

eta: if that's the case, why aren't all you people out there buying up MJD stock?

 

[BBRULE]

I'm curious where Peyton Hillis falls on this list since he has outscore many of the 10-20. #21?

 

[shnikies]

Obviously, if you think Brandon Jackson is top 20 you must own him. He might not even be the most valuable Packer running back right now. Throw in the fact they might trade for a back and he's barely top 30. Brandon Jackson and Moreno don't belong in the top 20, I'd swap in Forsett and Wells probably.

 

[Eric Stratton]

[Patswinin10]

once hayley quits the crack and give charles 20+ tocuhes a game he will be top 5 every week. You just may have to wait a little bit but he is on my team and i am on confident that at one point in time he will carry my team and im hoping its int he play offs.

Edit: bolded the ones that are most different from others in this thread.

 

[Late225]

Can someone explain why Deangelo was being drafted so high? He has one of the league's best number two's and he's in a terrible offense. Is he a PPR guy or is there something else that I've been missing?

 

[atcdav]

Why is Leshon McCoy so high on everyone's list? He had 1 breakout game against the Lousy Loins, he other 2 games very very mediocre. He is not getting any carries to speak of with the Vick show in full bloom. I am not saying he isnt good but is this all based on last year?

 

[Da Guru]

This is why pre-season rankings do not mean squat. After two weeks you can throw them in the trash.

Crack is a very addictive drug, so I really doubt Charles will get 20+ carries on a consistent basis this year.

 

[Sgt_Russia]

There's a reason most of these guys are ranked top 5/10/20; they're proven producers with a track record. To significantly change your opinion of them after 3 games is probably a mistake.

How pissed were you when you dropped Deangelo Williams after his 1st 4 games of 2008( 201 yds, 0 TDs, 3.7 ypc)?

 

[Utter Chaos]

Beanie Wells? I know he's only played one game but he looked pretty good out there. I bet he'll end the season with more fantasy points then at least 5 of these guys. He's averaging more points per week than Forsett and DeAngelo.

 

[basher]

Turner has to be top 8. Also, I really wouldn't sell out of Rice yet. Best has had 1 out of 3 highly effective games. He made up for the first one by scoring a couple touchdowns. It is a little early to anoint him top 10.

 

[JahVideo_Kilt_Radio_Star]

McCoy love is laughable. Not one of the top 15 RB's in the league.

Stop the insanity.

 

[Ghost Rider]

When looking at the production... if you are willing to consider adding in part of what Snelling got from Turner getting punched in the sack... Michael Turner would likely be close to #1. That would be good enough to be top 5, for sure.

*removed some hyperbole.

Except that Turner almost never catches passes, so it is not likely that he scores the receiving TD that Snelling did.Besides, durability is part of the equation. Fluky or not, if a guy gets banged up as much as Turner seems to, even if is just for a week here and there, it makes taking him very high more of a risk.

 

[NYRAGE]

LaDanian Tomlinson anyone? Guy looks ridiculously good and quick again and has pretty much taken over the starter's job and the lion's share of the carries on a very good football team.Not saying top 10, but he has already done better and should be projected to do much better than a lot of the guys you have ranked 11-20.

Define Lion's share. LT has 37 carries versus Greene's 30 carries which includes him being benched during game 1 for fumbling. It's 26-25 for LT over the last two games and the weather hasn't gotten nasty yet.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

McCoy love is laughable. Not one of the top 15 RB's in the league.

Stop the insanity.

I assume the OP is talking about redraft. If so, then yeah, McCoy is top 15. Mike Vick is an RB's best friend.

 

[DoubleG]

Interesting that Ced Ben doesn't crack anyones top 10, even though he is top 5 in carries among RBs. While I realize he's only in the top 15 in most leagues, it is in large part due to the fact that he has only 2 rushing TDs. Add 1 more tuddy and he's a top 10 already - and he will likely improve on the 3.1 ypc.

I'm just saying I think some people figure Ced to be a 1 year wonder - it seems that 1 year may become 2 or 3, as he is still only 27.

 

[JMJ]

Well lets see, first there is this:
[*]Shonn Greene played just 17 snaps in Week 3 compared to 42 for LaDainian Tomlinson

Then, Tomlinson had 15 carries this past weekend to Shonn Greene's 10. LT also had 3 receptions (on 5 targets) to Shonn Greene's 0 receptions (on 0 targets).

So in their last game:

[*]Tomlinson = 18 touches

[*]Shonn Greene = 10 touches

So out of 28 RB touches in the game, LT received 64% of them while playing in 71% of the team's offensive snaps. They also tried to get the ball to him two additional times making it 20 attempts to get him the ball in 30 tries to get the ball to the RBs (66%). I'm pretty sure that fits the definition of "lion's share."

Also, I'm pretty sure now is the time to try and buy LT in your leagues. Once him (and Greene) destroy Buffalo this week, his owner will not be looking to move him.

 

[theglorydays]

Can someone explain why Deangelo was being drafted so high? He has one of the league's best number two's and he's in a terrible offense. Is he a PPR guy or is there something else that I've been missing?

Do you remember 2 years ago when he put up 1500+ and 20 tds in the same situation? What about last year when he had 1350+ total yards and 7 tds in 12 games?

 

[Wolfpacker]

What in god's name is B Jackson doing at #16? I had the #1 WW when Grant went down, picked up this loser and immediately attempted to move him.

Rant of the day! I love it. I'm sorry plyka, I'm not laughing at you, but this is classic.

Yeah, but right now he's on pace for 1024/4tds. As other's have said, I don't think it's him, but his coach doesn't seem to be giving him the opportunities to bounce back. In my money league the site we use lists him as a top 10 bust. I got him @ 2.09. Under our scoring, he has a total of 19pts, where Foster and ADP are at 74

In a non-PPR or PPR, I still can't see any rb ahead of ADP or Chris Johnson. They have to be 1a and 1b in any format. I agree that Turner should at least be top 10 (probably in any format as well).

In my money league the site we use lists him as a top 10 bust. I got him @ 2.09. Under our scoring, he has a total of 19pts, where Foster and ADP are at 74

Look at Deangelo's stats for the first 3 games for 2009 and 2008. I'm still holding out hope. Maybe he's just a slow starter?

 

[gandalas]

Beanie Wells? I know he's only played one game but he looked pretty good out there. I bet he'll end the season with more fantasy points then at least 5 of these guys. He's averaging more points per week than Forsett and DeAngelo.

I was coming here to post this as well. In his first week back in action, he had 14 carries for 75 yards, a healthy 5.36 YPC average. He will only do better as he gets healthier and his coach gets more confidence in him.

 

[Judge Smails]

how in the hell is MJD in ANYONE'S top 5? really?eta: if that's the case, why aren't all you people out there buying up MJD stock?

I did. MJD for Gates in a non TE mandatory 3WR start 12 team redraft league...Should pair nicely with Foster and LT in the hole..He's out of the top 5. But outta the top 20? if he can walk I don't see it..

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Obviously, if you think Brandon Jackson is top 20 you must own him. He might not even be the most valuable Packer running back right now. Throw in the fact they might trade for a back and he's barely top 30. Brandon Jackson and Moreno don't belong in the top 20, I'd swap in Forsett and Wells probably.

Moreno is pretty much at the same production level as Rice, and actually higehr considering Denver's offense and the fact that Moreno has missed a game but is also pretty much the only goal line solution, whereas Baltimore has turned towards Boldin, uses McGahee a great deal still and that Rice is dinged.Would Rice go before Turner right now?

 

[VaTerp]

If I had to choose a top 20 right now Id go something like:

ADP

CJ2K

Gore

Mendenhall

Turner

Rice

Foster

MJD

McCoy

Best

Charles

Pierre

Bradshaw

SJax

Benson

DeAngelo

McFadden

R Brown

Addai

Forte

LT2

ETA- Have to get DeAngelo in there somewhere. My top 21. (Next group would include Mathews, TJones, Greene, Hillis)

 

[Chaka]

Judging from what I have been reading here lately I think that if the draft were held today people would step over the graves of their mothers to draft LeGarrette Blount and Ryan Torain 1 & 1a overall.

 

[Koya]

If we drafted today, people would be looking at a full season - thinking is different (for better or worse) when people are prepping for a draft vs. doing weekly lineups and/or trades.

1. ADP

2. CJ

Tier of guys 3-7 in no particular order, depends on taste:

Gore - one of the few all around all downs RB

A Foster - Great opportunity and apparently decent enough talent.

Turner - His game last week would win back a lot of folks

Mendenhall - Has done well against some tough defenses and is the man - Roeths back in a game

McCoy - Some owner would see Westbrook 2.0.

Tier 7-10

Benson - just doesnt get the respect, but could go ahead of one or two above

Ray Rice - Injury would push him down, otherwise may crack above but I feel he's lost some value in the minds of most

MJD - Someone would still believe, but he is falling with teams ineptness

Tier 11-15

Matthews - Maybe he and MJD swap places. Injury hurts, have to see him this week.

Bradshaw - Clearly the guy on a pretty good offense that wants to run the ball more/better than it does

J Charles - Guy obviously has skills. just a question of how much opportunity

Best - Tough injury to gauge. Otherwise he would be bottom size of top 10 in all likelihood. Dont know if, even healthy, he deserves it though

Addai - Someone will take the guy from Indy especially with Brown hurting and thoughts of Addai only running in a drafter's head

Tier 16-20

Wells - Is now healthy. Well, whatever healthy is for Wells. Looked good last week.

McFadden - Bush coming back means he misses the tier above - but might get into there anyway.

Peyton Hillis - Maybe he continues, but it was one great game. A great game, but is it enough?

Forte - Martz offense means fewer carries for backs, but receiving yards and TDs. Will struggle some, will hit some home runs.

LT2 - Someone would take him as he looks to be the starter

That would be my first pass top 20. Sure I left someone out.

[eakfootball]

As a D-Will owner I would put him lower than #13.I like having 3 of ur Top 9.

I'm a very frusterated D-will owner too, but I think by the end of the year he will still have some very good stats

Now this list I'm down with. Solid work. I might throw Moreno into the final tier, but only when he proves he's healthy(er).ETA: I might also juggle some guys in your lower tiers (i.e. bump Wells and McFadden up and Charles and Addai down, based on touches also Best's injury concerns me a little for this season). But again, top 10 is solid, as is the list as a whole.

 

[coltsnut]

Bradshaw is way too low.

He's on pace for like 1300 rush 200 rec and 11 tds.

These are not MY rankings, but how I would see things pan out in a draft. Personally, Im down on Rice and might actually prefer McCoy. Rice is banged up, but more important I never got the love - he does NOT get goaline looks at all, so I dont see him all the way up there.My rationale for McCoy is that having played some very productive games, in that offense, someone owners would see Brian Westbrook production in their mind and take him higher than I would.

MEA CULPA - I somehow left out D Williams... bad as that team is and he has been production wise, I dont see him past the 12-15th RB taken if it were a draft today.

brandon jackson must be on your team.

I'd take Jackson off any top 24 RB list also

how in the hell is MJD in ANYONE'S top 5? really?eta: if that's the case, why aren't all you people out there buying up MJD stock?

Gotta believe MJD would not go in the first round if we drafted today.
