4. Arian Foster

5. Ray Rice

6. Matt Forte

7. Maurice Jones-Drew

8. Michael Turner

9. Stephen Jackson

10. Darren McFadden

 

I have some real concerns about MJD's and Jackson's health and the fact their their O-lines aren't the greatest and neither are their QB's(Bradford should get better with time) so I think the wear and tear on them over the season will show.

Adrian Peterson

Chris Johnson

Jamal Charles

Maurice Jones-Drew

Arian Foster(I'm not sure if he would put up the same numbers this year)

[GA_Eagle 595]

Shady over forte really blue ?

 

I'm confused. He was better last season. Not by much but definitely better. Its not a stretch to think he'd be better again. Perhaps I'm missing a joke.

 

edit: Forte did a nice job receiving so its pretty damn tight. pretty debatable about who had a better season. Dunno why it would be rofl worthy though.

Blount, Mccoy, Forte, Deangelo Williams, Bradshaw and Ryan Matthews could wind up on here with big years this season.

[BC 331]
