Name

1: D. Martin 365 1606 4.4 10 47 450 2 324 He is not a better runner than AP, but he will catch and get much more YAC 2: L. McCoy 310 1271 4.1 5 71 620 4 320 If he can stay healthy he will have a career year in the new offense 3: A. Peterson 360 1764 4.9 13 35 190 1 314 I feel like without all the naysayers, Adrian will not have that extra boost to claim the number 1 spot in ppr. 4: M. Forte 268 1232 4.6 5 73 664 3 310 Forte will be fed more than ever in the passing game this year 5: J. Charles 300 1530 5.1 6 48 455 2 294 Jamaal has an amazing skill set and always has the potential to win a week for you. 6: Ray Rice 300 1410 4.7 8 51 390 1 285 The Ravens are still his team and while Bernard may steal some carries this team will go the way of Rice. 7: T. Richardson 310 1209 3.9 9 58 404 2 284 I wouldn't describe Trent as elusive, but he gets positive yardage and can catch the ball with consistency 8: C. Spiller 305 1403 4.6 4 52 511 2 279 If CJ was on a respectable team he could be number 1, but alas he is a Bill. 9: A. Foster 325 1398 4.3 12 37 200 1 274 This is not based on injury, while he is breaking down, his inability to make more out his receptions is what hurts him 10: M. Jones-Drew 295 1209 4.1 8 44 431 2 267 MJD has that same chip on his shoulder that AP had last year. 11: R. Bush 235 1081 4.6 4 59 412 2 244 It seems like the perfect scenario for good ol' Reggie, he should be in heaven in this offense that loves to pass to RBs 12: M. Lynch 335 1407 4.2 11 19 164 0 241 Another great year for the beast, now if he could just be utilized in the passing game.

13: D. Sproles 85 484 5.7 2 69 632 6 228 A PPR Dream, gotta love a team that designs TD passes to the RB as the 1st choice 14: S. Jackson 280 1064 3.8 9 33 208 1 219 The O-line is bad, but they should be in the lead a lot more than the Rams were 15: D. McFadden 215 924 4.3 6 46 281 1 208 A lot of "ifs" here. If he can play a dacent amount of games and if the change back to the old system improves the 3.3 avg. 16: A. Morris 275 1265 4.6 11 10 64 0 208 Shannahan is nuts. Even if Alfred has another great year he is not a stud RB in a PPR format. And Shannahan in nuts. 17: G. Bernard 203 974 4.8 6 41 265 1 206 The Bengals have a history of keeping the incumbent and terrible RB as the main guy ie; C.Benson, however Gio's talent will be hard to ignore. 18: D. Murray 215 881 4.1 7 44 249 1 204 He will do a fine job when he is healthy, when that will be is the concern 19: D. Wilson 240 1152 4.8 3 29 226 2 196 Got to love the big play abilty, don't love the automatic sub inside the 5. 20: C. Johnson 280 1092 3.9 5 29 201 1 194 28 in Septmber, the second he loses a step his career is over. 21: A. Bradshaw 227 930 4.1 8 31 215 0 193 A lot more potential to have a big year than some might think, but these numbers are probably more realistic. 22: S. Vereen 45 198 4.4 1 65 609 7 192 The Patriots could just be screwing with us, but while Vereen is not great in standard leagues he has value in a PPR 23: F. Gore 249 1070 4.3 6 21 184 0 182 Solid Frank Gore, he will always score you some points, his 3 100 yd + games came BK. (Before Kaepernick) 24: S. Ridley 266 1117 4.2 9 7 56 0 177 Ridley will always go too high in PPR formats, yes he had 1200 yds, yes he had 12 tds, but he caught 6 passes.6! 25: C. Ivory 220 858 3.9 7 26 186 1 177 Ivory is their best option, but I would be afraid to own any Jet this year. 26: E. Lacy 200 880 4.4 6 27 174 0 168 I honestly think Rodgers audibles out of 50% of the running plays just assuming he can gain 40 yards instead of 3. 27: R. Mathews 190 741 3.9 2 46 264 1 164 Maybe he's just waiting until absolutely no one believes in him. Now is the

time Ryan! 28: L. Miller 180 846 4.7 3 33 228 1 163 The Dolphins are for some reason still giving Daniel Thomas more chance. This may be an infuriating timeshare 29: D. Williams 241 1012 4.2 2 22 171 0 152 The best years of DeAngelo's career have been wasted away by a man they call Jonathan Stewart, It's a shame really. 30: D. Richardson 190 893 4.7 4 19 164 0 145 The Rams will want to see what they have in Pead and Stacy as well. 31: M. Ball 185 721 3.9 7 16 141 0 144 Right now he will be lucky to be the 1st and 2nd down back, Hillman may eat into those carries as well. 32: M. Reece 64 294 4.6 1 55 348 3 142 He will spell McFaden and is truly gifted in the passing game. 33: D. Woodhead 75 330 4.4 0 49 305 4 136 Another pass catching specialist to get you consistent points. 34: R. Mendenhall 150 615 4.1 4 18 159 0 118 The Cards will be at the bottom of the NFC West and they will want to see if they any talent in their young RBs 35: R. Hillman 100 410 4.1 2 33 235 1 115 If could stop fumbling he may actually have a shot at winning the starting job. 36: M. Ingram 135 513 3.8 7 4 21 0 99 Is it impossible for the Saints to see Pierre Thomas is significantly better? 37: A. Brown 65 292 4.5 9 9 38 0 95 TD only backs are not nearly as valuable in PPR 38:Ben Green-Ellis 112 425 3.8 5 7 38 0 82 Gio has proven to score TDs in the pre-season, so the vulture role may even be taken away.
