We saw some surprises last year in Conner, White & Lindsay. If you were smart enough to jump on these guys in your draft you were sitting pretty.

Which of the RBs, that finished the season as an RB2, wouldn't surprise you to see them in the top 12 this upcoming season?

According to FantasyPros (.5 ppr), the top 12 were:
Gurley, Barkley, cmc, kamara, zeke, conner, gordon, white, mixon, DJ, Hunt and Lindsay.

The next 12 were:
Cohen, Henry, Carson, Chubb, Drake, AP, Coleman, Howard (surprising, considering how shitty of a season he had), Mack, Miller, Aaron Jones & Ekeler.

Chubb is the obvious choice to take hunts slot in the top. Other than that I'm really going to be looking hard at Mack & Jones.

Mack should be 100%, if he can stay healthy I think he will dominate. He showed his ability to grind out yards, make dudes miss, and catch the ball out of the backfield. With another full season of healthy luck & T.Y. defenses won't be able to stack the box. Marlon should feast.

Aaron Jones. This was my GUY last season. When given the opportunity, Jones shined brighter than most. If LaFleur is able to see what we ALL saw last year Jones should get between 15-20 touches a game.

Well Hunt will be taking carries away from Chubb eventually...

Cohen and Howard would be along with someone drafted this year

Well, you don't have Guice listed.

If a SF back gets 50-55% of the touches, they will probably be a low end RB1. I'm thinking Tevin Coleman

Mixon and Mack carried me at the end of the season especially when gurley got hurt

Guice
Adams (Oakland)

Dalvin Cook will be healthy and the lead back in Minnesota.

Josh (Oakland) sorry didn’t mean Adams



I think cook will be top 10 maybe top 5 at the end of this year.

Bigger question is how many handcuffs will you draft later in your draft and stash on your bench articulating happening this year what happened in the latter parts of the 2018 season.

Damien Williams should be in the mix, post draft and FA it looks like its still his backfield

I have a feeling Marlon Mack is going to be overdrafted this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Spencer Ware takes some of his touches, and he's not really a factor in the passing game. He'll likely be really game script dependent on a team that passes a lot and won't be playing an atrocious schedule like 2018.

Had Conner and Bell. Assuming I take Conner as my keeper for this season who do I draft in the first round?
