Updated RB Ratings

1. LaDainian Tomlinson - Solid as an oak and still has some years left to dominate

2. Brian Westbrook- He is the best player on his team, he's explosive, if healthy he is fantastic

3. Adrian Peterson - Stay healthy and hes a machine, best runner in years.

4. Joseph Addai - 12 touchdowns last year don't lie and he has great offense around him

5. Marion Barber - If he can keep the goal line touches he will be a top 5 producer in TD's

6. Steven Jackson - If he can get back to the 06 form and get Bulger passing hes set to go

7. Marshawn Lynch - Not sharing his load and he is just starting to show what he can do

8. Frank Gore - He has the potential but can he not fumble and hold off the competition

9. Clinton Portis - His numbers don't lie, still one of the best at putting it in the end zone

10. Larry Johnson - He needs alot of help from Bowe and the line. The talent is there

11. Laurence Maroney - Should do more then last year but a big risk for a 1RB

12. Ronnie Brown - If he is healthy he is one of the best, can his line hold up?

13. Maurice Jones-Drew - Explosive and now he is the man, expect big things this year

14. Ryan Grant - Great line, great WR's. Could be great or could lose out to Brandon Jackson

15. Reggie Bush - He has to find the endzone and get more carries, the talent is there

16. Willie Parker - In 06 he had 13 TD's, in 07 he had 2. Yards are not the problem with him

17. Earnest Graham - He will get at least 8 TD's and should put up solid numbers

18. Jamal Lewis - 1304 yards and 9 TD's last season, good line, good WR's. Solid pick

19. Selvin Young - A lot of potential if he can get the bulk of the carries

20. Michael Turner - He has the talent to do wonders but will his line and offense help him?

21. Brandon Jacobs - He is the goal line back but the giants love to throw TD's

22. Thomas Jones - I expect him to be pushed for the starting position, a low end 2RB at best

23. Edgerrin James - Tim Hightower may take his job by the middle of the season

24. Rudi Johnson - He is still a solid low end 2RB

25. Jonathan Stewart - This kid has talent and will push for the starting job if not take it

26. Lendale White - He is good but they don't score enough to make him more then a low 2RB

27. Felix Jones - If he was the starter I would have him in the top 15, a lot of upside here

28. Chester Taylor - To bad he is the number 2 because he has the line and the talent

29. Matt Forte - Terrible line, terrible offense, nough said

30. Maurice Morris - I think he holds off Jones and is a good low end 2RB

Players to watch - Kenny Watson (CIN), Leon Washington (NYJ), Steve Slaton (HOU)
