I think one of these guys will be available to me as an RB 2 or flex. Standard NON-ppr fantasty points scoring. Redraft league.

Some of the lists and magazines out have very different opinions about these guys.

What order would you rank these guys?

D Ward
K Moreno
D McFadden
J Stewart
D Brown
E Graham
Larry Johnson
Jemal Lewis
Felix Jones
Willie Parker
R Mendenhall

1. D McFadden - Poised for a breakout season
2. J Stewart - Going to eat up a lot of D Williams' 20 TDs from 2008
3. W Parker - Will still get bulk of Steelers carries, but not red-zone carries
4. L Johnson - Comeback player of the year candidate; healthy and motivated
5. K Moreno - Best RB in the '09 NFL draft and he will prove it
6. F Jones - Cowboys may start Jones and M Barber III together; Jones 8.9 ypc in '08
7. D Brown - Will steal J Addai's starting job in Indy, but not right away
8. R Mendenhall - TD vulture and a must-have handcuff for W Parker owners
9. D Ward - Can he be full-time guy in Tampa? I don't think so
10. E Graham - Another TD vulture that D Ward owners must have
11. J Lewis - I wouldn't be surprised if Browns go RBBC; there's too much tread on Lewis' tires

I posted the 1st time you did this. But I'm a little iffy on Moreno now.

He is listed as #3 behind buckhalter and ...L.Jordan? I know some are drafting him as a #2 RB or Flex but that is still kinda iffy right now...no?

McFadden still has Bush and Fargas in town to steal time. But if healthy he should get the rock!

Good luck.

Egg, I think the Broncos are just trying to take some heat off their rookie. You don't draft Moreno in the middle of the first round and then bench him behind two career backups in Buckhalter and Jordan.

Denver will play it cool, let Moreno "win" the starting job in camp and he'll be the clear #1 when the season begins.

Even if it's a dreaded RBBC to start the year I still see 15 touches a game for Moreno to start the year and it will increase as he proves himself.
