Which rookie/new starting RBs will produce?

Postby LSUby50 » Fri Aug 17, 2012 11:30 am

Trying to come up with some middle round steals. i guess Trent Richardson is thought to be the best but will be drafted high. What are your thoughts on these guys? Are you targeting any?

Doug Martin
Leshoure/Kevin Smith
Toby Gerhart
Ridley
David Wilson
Starks/Benson
Ryan Williams
isaac Redman

(im specifically looking for THIS year only. redraft league)

Of those, I like Doug Martin and Ryan Williams. Martin is going to get a bulk of the carries. It's only a matter of time before Wells gets injured. I'm really liking Williams this year. He might not help too much early, but I have a feeling that will change over the course of the season.

The rest I just don't see getting enough touches to be worth it. Gearhart could be worth a late pick, especially if AP aggravates his injury. If anything, he'd then be great trade bait for someone who will be scrambling to fill a GIANT hole.

Doug Martin -- Love him, esp PPR. Will be a rock solid #2
Leshoure/Kevin Smith -- there is no draft value in either and I think they both battle injuries
Toby Gerhart -- one of the most underdrafted guys out there. Even if AP comes back, he will have a role as the baby AP to full strength
Ridley -- Losing the luster as Vareen closes the gap, still the NE RB I'd want, but avoiding the backfield
David Wilson -- I don't see much value for this year
Starks/Benson -- moving on
Ryan Williams -- next year he will be great, don't like RB coming back from his type of injury
isaac Redman -- Pretty high on him and taking Mendy late offers great value

In a re-draft league, I like Doug Martin the most out of those you listed. Toby Gerhart is another player I'm starting to really like as I am skepticle that AP will be to his old form this season. One you haven't listed is C.J. Spiller, I believe he outshines the brittle Fred Jackson this year.
