1. Adrian Peterson, MIN - Could rush for 2,000 yards if reigns taken off.

2. Matt Forte, CHI - Most productive rookie season in Bears history + 63 Recs.

3. Michael Turner, ATL - Averaged 106 yards and 1 TD per game last year.

4. DeAngelo Williams, CAR - Can he produce at an insane level again?

5. LaDainian Tomlinson, SD - Had 1,500 yards, 52 Recs and 12 TD in “down” yr.

6. Maurice Jones-Drew, JAC - Never had 200+ carry season. Durability?

7. Clinton Portis, WAS - Most productive RB thru 8 weeks last season.

8. Brian Westbrook, PHI - Health is the eternal question and only limit.

9. Brandon Jacobs, NYG - No Derrick Ward+ Goal line carries = undervalued.

10. Steve Slaton, HOU - Led AFC in yards from scrimmage + 50 Recs.

11. Marion Barber, DAL - One toe injury and everyone is ready to avoid.

12. Steven Jackson, STL - Injuries, plus no help in passing game limit value.

13. Chris Johnson, TEN - Should be able to replicate 2008 numbers; LenDale looming.

14. Frank Gore, SF - Just a matter of time before a knee explodes!

15. Ronnie Brown, MIA - Remember his game vs. Pats? Value pick.

16. Joseph Addai, IND - Drafting D Brown doesn’t hurt value, injuries do.

17. Ryan Grant, GB - Didn’t have 100 yards or a TD until week 7!

18. Darren McFadden, OAK - Rookie yr was a wash; think week 2 vs. Chiefs.

19. Pierre Thomas, NO - Definitely goal line back, but what if Bush is healthy?

20. Larry Johnson, KC - The team was a mess under Herm last yr, no one suffered more.

21. Lendale White, TEN - Insert fat joke here, better than you want to believe.

22. Willie Parker, PIT - 246 yards and 2 TD in 3 playoff games. I think he’s back.

23. Kevin Smith, DET - I know he finished strong, but I just don’t believe it.

24. Marshawn Lynch, BUF - 3 game suspension makes value hard to ascertain.

25. Thomas Jones, NYJ - Still getting no respect after 15 TD season.

26. Reggie Bush, NO - Avg 94 total yards and 5 TDs thru week 7.

27. Jonathan Stewart, CAR – Lingering toe/foot injuries scare me.

28. Jamal Lewis, CLE - Jamal isn’t dead yet. Unquestioned #1 RB, weak passing game.

29. Fred Jackson, BUF - Last 3 games; 304 total yards, 2 TD, 10 Recs. Rhodes cut..

30. Donald Brown, IND - Don’t expect him to take Addai’s job, unless he gets hurt.

31. Willis McGahee, BAL - Injuries limited in ’08, but getting him here could be shrewd.

32. Cedric Benson, CIN - Goal line back will also get 15-20 carries a week.

33. Derrick Ward, TB - Apparently will be used as the starter, splitting w/Graham.

34. Knowshown Moreno, DEN - Crowded backfield situation, shaky offense as a whole, knee.

35. Leon Washington, NYJ - See Darren Sproles; Shonn Greene hurts value. 

36. Tim Hightower, ARI - Will steal job from Wells, they just don’t run that much.

37. Darren Sproles, SD - With LT healthy will see most work on kick returns.

38. LeRon McClain, BAL - Even if he is moved to FB gets most goal line work.

39. Earnest Graham, TB - Seems to be favorite for goal line back role.

40. Edgerrin James, SEA – What does he have left in the tank?
