Which of the top 3 RBs will repeat? (1 Viewer)

[toonarmy]

Not since LT last headed the FF points totals in 2007 has an RB repeated as #1. In fact, in the last four years only one of the top 3 RBs from the previous year even made the following year's top 10, except for one year - in 2009 Peterson and MJD repeated. So assuming this trend continues and only one of last year's top 3 finishes even in the top 10, who will be that one guy?

It seems reasonably safe to predict that MJD will likely not repeat last year's top 3 finish, given his hold-out and the knock-on effect of missing the pre-season and perhaps more. So that leaves Rice and McCoy. I'm drafting at three, so I'll assume that two of Foster, Rice and McCoy will have already gone.

I like both Rice and McCoy, but I lean towards McCoy due to his schedule weeks 14-16. So I would prefer that McCoy falls to me and is the returning hero, but I may be wrong.

What do you guys think?

I have to choose Rice over McCoy. I don't think McCoy repeats 17 touchdowns. Also I don't trust Vick. McCoy had his 3rd and 4th worst games of the season with Vick on the shelf (was huge in the other ).

Sure Rice could get a lot less catches because Flacco opens up the offense and his rushing td's could drop back down as well. McCoy could easily catch more balls than last year to make up for any lost touchdowns.

I just see a better chance of McCoy's downside hitting than Rice's. Razor thin for me though.

I prefer Rice, but neither is substantively less likely than the other to repeat. Health is the biggest factor in RB turnover.

Have you considered making this a poll? I think you'll get more response that way.BTW-Rice for me.
