Top RBs

[mad benjamin]

Well, about 3/4 of the year is over and I thought it might be interesting to see how everyone would rate this year's RB group.

*- injury has affected rating
**- likely to go up by year's end
***- likely to drop by year's end

1.) Alexander
2.) Barber
3.) Dillon
4.) Holmes*
5.) Martin***
6.) Edge
7.) LT2*
8.) Droughns
9.) Brown*
10.) Taylor
11.) McAllister*
12.) Portis
13.) Green*
14.) Lewis*
15.) McGahee**
16.) Staley*
17.) Pittman**
18.) DDavis
19.) Rudi
20.) OSmith*, **
21.) TJones*
22.) KJones**
23.) Dunn
24.) Faulk***
25.) JJones*, **
26.) Westbrook
27.) ESmith
28.) Suggs
29.) Goings**
30.) Wheatley
31.) Morris
32.) Barlow

Mind you, this has more to do with performance and consistency throughout the year. A guy like Pittman, for example, who started fewer games gets the nod over Rudi and could leap-frog a few other players if he performs as he has. A 30-something like Martin who started out great and has tapered off some may drop below some under-performing studs like LT, Brown or McAllister. Rookies who are finally taking the reigns like K and JJones can pull up a few notches if they build upon what they started.
