Mine :


Yards -

1) Adrian Peterson, 1850
2) Jamaal Charles, 1550
3) Arian Foster, 1450
4) Doug Martin, 1400
5) CJ Spiller, 1350

Honorable mentions to Alfred Morris, Trent Richardson, and Marshawn Lynch (think his numbers go down, but only because I feel like he's gonna get less carries as to partly preserve him and to utilize other talent. And let Wilson throw more)


TDs -

1) Adrian Peterson, 14
2) Trent Richardson, Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin, 12
3) Alfred Morris, Ray Rice, 11
4) Arian Foster, Stevan Ridley, 10
5) Frank Gore, Cam Newton, 9


Stats.

I see a bounce back year for Chris Johnson, maybe not in TD's, but in yards.

I think Foster gets more than 10 TD's, but the yards look about right.

I like your top list except I'd probably insert Alfred Morris in the 4 spot and have TR battling Doug Martin for the 5 spot. I feel like Richardson will have a 1400 yd season, and Morris/Foster will both be high 1400s possibly in the 15s. I have a feeling ur top 2 will both stay healthy and AP will duplicate this last season and JC will finally have a complete year.

ETA: and by Jamal Charles finally having a complete year, I mean not only staying healthy like last year, but not having games where he only gets 5 fricking touches, and the coach not even having an explanation why. If this dude doesn't get hurt, and gets a guaranteed 17 to 20 carries a game, he may very well hit 2k. I wouldn't be surprised if he finished the season at 6+ ypc. He's very capable

I'd have SJax as an honorable mention

Even though hes up there in age, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do once he's not the only weapon in an offense

Lol I happened to damn near agree with him. And I gave your boy some props too.

But TR is primed to step into that top 5 leading rushers category.

ETA: and I have zero problems seeing TR score 12-15 tds next season.

Y'all do throw a lot, so I'm not sure. Maybe he will be higher in total yards from scrimmage.

Mojo is not done yet either, he'll get some yards. On the cusp of top 5.

I think S-Jax will have a very decent split year. Prob between 800-1100 yds rushing. But he'll chalk up another 4-500 receiving. He may hold a shite ton of fantasy value for his TD potential. And he'll probably consistently get 15 or so touches with max production per touch. This will be the first time since I can remember, him not being THE guy on offense, and I think that will benefit him greatly in his old age. He'll make so much out of his opportunities and hopefully stay relatively healthy, even though I hate the Falcons.

Is this yards or TD's?

I hit submit to quick. That's in yards. I'm not going to do TD's as I don't like how some teams handle goal line work.

That's what I figured. I agree with you.
