He was 20-15th at best


He was 13th in my league last year... PPR.

Again, thats borderline top 10 RB as a rookie.

Gio already broke out.

I actually really like Ben Tate in the starting role with the Browns as a breakout this season.

Tate averaged 5 ypc over 421 attempts over 3 seasons.

The Browns OL is in the top half of the league, especially after retaining Alex Mack.

Draft Sammy Watkins to team up with Josh Gordon and Jordy Cameron to open the field up and you could be looking at the top RB in fantasy next season emirite?

Turnin was my "lock of the century stud" when he came out. Still holding out hope

Top? No chance. Top 10? I think it's possible.

If healthy, Lesean is the top RB this year.

Even with Sproles there? I like the offensive system for him and I think he will put up top 5 production, but I'm worried that his carries are going to go down.

There is no way to say who will be the top rb. Look at the last few years.

I am sure you predicated Arian Foster and post surgery AD to be the top backs.

...care to elaborate? I'm curious.

My top RBs that I'm considering going after as an RB2 are Lynch, McCoy, or Forte. I think a case could be made for all 3, but I was starting to lean away from McCoy whenever they got Sproles.

Good luck with that.

Look at opportunity vs. ability. McCoy is talented enough in his own right to be the top RB in any given year. Add to that this new offense, and the only thing that could hold him back is injury, IMO.

In my keeper auction draft, I am keeping Jamaal Charles for $16 (out of $200), so I can spend top dollar for my RB2. Or you can call whoever I pay for my RB1, and Charles can be my RB2, either way is just dandy by me.

Solid. I'm on long term lease with Lynch myself.

Yeah getting Charles for $12 the season after coming off his ACL tear was huge for me. Unfortunately we can only keep a player for 3 years before we have to release him, so this upcoming season will be the last for me to reap the benefits of that draft.

My other keeper will be Percy Harvin. I drafted him for $5 last year and held him simply to have a solid, cheap WR keeper for this season.

My other keeper was going to be Gronk for $22, but....

We use a similar structure with increasing cap.
