4th Pick - Keeper League - Which RB?

[manicottimafioso]

I am in a 10-team, H2H, PPR (WR/TEs only) league that allows 3 keepers. My 3 are likely going to be Brees, Westbrook, and D-Bowe. Owners can only keep 1 player at any 1 position, so I am planning to draft a RB with my 1st round pick (#4 overall). After the keepers are selected, here are the RBs that look to be available. Please rank your top 4. Thanks.

- Matt Forte
- DeAngelo Williams
- Steve Slaton
- Chris Johnson
- Marion Barber
- Pierre Thomas
- Ryan Grant
- Joseph Addai
- Marshawn Lynch
- Kevin Smith
- Darren McFadden
- Ronnie Brown
- Larry Johnson

I'd say Forte #1, CJ #2, Slaton #3. CJ/Slaton are pretty close though in my opinion. DeAngelo is probably #4 but I am not high on him at all this year.

Would you mind taking a look at mine? viewtopic.php?t=439605

Forte
DeAngelo
CJ
Slaton

As for those of you that are scared of DWill...

1. JStew has never, is never, and will never be completely healthy.
2. DWill had to outperform Foster for 2 years before he got a shot to start.
3. DWill outperformed JStew last season.
4. DWill scored 20 TD's in his 1st season as a starter. 20!

What more do you want?

+9,321. Del Rio seems to be loyal to his vets, as he was with Foster. I think the "demise" of DeAngelo Williams is overstated and is a tremendous value if he falls through the middle of 1st round redrafts this year. Even if you don't think he will duplicate 20 TDs again, 80% of that production is still high-end RB1 work.

You must mean John Fox and not Jack Del Rio if you're referring to DeAngelo Williams.

For the record, I don't think Williams gets 20 TD's again -- Stewart will take the majority of the goal-line carries.
