I have him right there with SJax also at 3-4.. Id definately put him above Westy.. Westbrook got off to a blistering start for my league posting 22,23,39 points in games 1-3 and has fizzled since with 0,17,10,16 points and only 1 big game (29) 3 weeks ago.. But I think Westbrook (as always) wears out pretty quick and feel he will fall in the ranks as the season wears on.. I mean really, look at Kevin Jones. Since week 3 he has rolled up 147 points in 6 weeks, that is averaging 24.5 points per week every week.. And now he has SF and Arizona.. I say after them, he will average over 27+ points for 8 straight weeks and many of you do not puty him top 3-4.. Shame on You
There is no way I can see KJ penetrating that top 5. Maybe he can be 6 or 7, but not top 5
Westy is going down every week. He played a creampuff first few games. He's been held in check since.
I'd lump KJ, S_Jax, and Protis in the same range...and the fact that you can get KJ for WAAAAAAY cheaper I think everyone should be targeting this guy. He gets no respect and all he's done is been the 3rd higherst scoring RB the last 4 weeks.
So they weren't the best...and may have ended the worst. SO WHAT!
Yea, he's definitely up there in the top 10, but he's still a tier down from L.T. and Larry Johnson. I think you can compare him with guys like Steven Jackson and Brian Westbrook best now (those 3 are within 10 points of each other in my league).
