2. Michael Turner Don't buy into "the curse of 370" rubbish. Turner came into camp 30 pounds overweight last year and didn't train properly in the off-season. I think he has the potential to be the number one overall RB in fantasy this year if he can stay healthy. Early reports are he is in fantastic shape and ready to roll. He has so little wear and tear on his body after backing up LT for years he will be fresh.
3. Ray Rice The Ravens love this kid. He posted 2000 yards from scrimmage and can play every down. His TD total was low at 8, but I expect those numbers to reach double digits this year. He killed me every time I played against him last year with huge yardage numbers.
4. Adrian Peterson I like Peterson, but better without Favre. The Vikings have morphed into a passing team with Favre under center. Peterson will have more of a prominent role if Tavaris Jackson is the starter and used as a game manager. I think AP's fumbling issues are in his head a bit as well.
5. MJD I am a UCLA alum and love MJD's talent, but the fact of the matter is Jacksonville just isn't that good. David Garrard is servicable, the WR's are below average, and the Oline is ok. I think MJD on another team with better talent would produce top 2 numbers but on this bad team should post decent numbers from your low end number one back.
6. Cedric Benson Wow, what has the world of fantasy come to when Benson is a legitimate number one RB? I like Benson's role on one of the few non committee backfields , on a running team with a solid defense, and with a few new offensive weapons to keep defenses honest.
7. Frank Gore If Frank is going to have a big year, this is it. The niners drafted two Oline studs to help the running game and held off on taking another RB to compliment Gore. With his history of knee surgeries and carries, this is his year to shine while he is healthy and the number one guy.
