Fantasy Running Back Rankings


Just had one of my two fantasy drafts this past weekend. I think it went well but don't we always say that.

If I had to rank the top 12 RB's for the '08 campaign:


1. L.Tomlinson... no question
2. J. Addai.......... lots of touches and seems to be getting better every game
3. B. Westbrook...I'm not sure a team depends on anyone more
4. A. Peterson.....teams are going to stack the box against him...he'll be ok though
5. M. Barber......he also seems to get tougher, hungrier, and meaner every game
6. Jamal Lewis...going to get lots of touches and the distractions are behind him
7. Stephen Jackson....great back but on a poor team and his hold out didn't help
8. Ryan Grant...should improve on a really good year last year
9. Frank Gore...49ers go-to guy
10. M. Lynch....going to be pretty good
11. Larry Johnson...it's still L.J. but on a poor passing team
12. Clinton Portis...doesn't he always disappoint?
13. Ernest Graham...he'll have a nice year in T.B.
14. Thomas Jones...I think Brett will help him immensely
15. Mike Turner...he's no longer L.T.'s understudy...he's the man in Atlanta

Dude, start the season already. I NEED it.
