Assuming you're in a redraft...

1) Ricky Williams
2) Shonn Greene

Tough list...but I think if you need decent immediate production It's probably gotta be Le'Ron McClain. If you need someone to stash until week 6 or so then roll the dice with Shonn Greene. The rest of those guys I break down like this

McGahee is done. His past injuries won't allow him to play 16 games for the rest of his career thus McClain gets 10 tds last year.
Sammy Morris' backfield is like rush hour in NY city and no one knows who'll get the bulk of the carries at this point.
Chester is a very good back but you can't predict an ADP injury which is the only way Chester gets decent PT.
Justin Fargas same as Sammy Morris. Michael bush is very talented and is finally healthy and should see PT with McFadden.
Ricky is just about done and can't be trusted to give you much production
Norwood should get some PT but it seems like we say that every year about him so it's a wait and see game that you can't afford to play.
Buckhalter is now a Denver RB...do I need to say anymore? Probably not.
Rhodes is pretty useless unless Fred Jackson gets hurt in the 1st 3 games. In games Fred has started he usually gets 15-20 carries which won't leave much for Rhodes imo.

im guessing that thats your roster in your Sig, so with seeing that i see that your big 3 RBs all have different bye weeks (4,8,10) so thats huge baring any injuries you would be safe with a great pick up of Shonn Greene and hold on him til he steps in to steal some carries... thats how i would go...
