Outlook on rookie running backs.

What is everyones thoughts on the rookie running back class including Hyde, Hill, Sankey, West, Crowell, Freemen, Mckinnon, and whoever else I may be forgetting?
Hyde seems to be the beast of the bunch and I suppose has a decent chance of becoming the lead back by the end of the year. Do people think this happens, and if so, when?
How about Jeremy Hill? The guy has been tearing it up in junk time. Gio has had trouble running the ball but does everything else so well. Could Hill become the feature back? How relevant does he become?
Freemen is lost in the rbbc and will not likely change.
West is nice but is going to be behind Tate and Crowell. I would figure that Crowell beats out west and the real question is who wins between the two. Does tate maintain the lions share, does it turn into an rbbc, or does Crowell get the lions share?
Sankey is someone I just don't know that much about. Is it his time? What is this about footwork? Will he be relevant shortly? It would seem as though he has the shortest distance to go, but is in a dumpster fire of an offense right now.
Does the fact that I just dropped Hunter for Matthews mean that Locker will find his juju again and suddenly have a career year? This might just be a great thing for the titans team because the fantasy gods hate me.
And how about that freak that has done nothing, Mckinnon? Does Asiata get sat down because I could outrun him? Or is Mckinnon just way out of his league right now?

Sankey

West, Crowell
quote:No clue
Freemen, Mckinnon, Hyde
quote:Looks good but is playing second fiddle to Bernard. Will continue to get more carries, though.
Hill

What's your thoughts on Lorenzo Taliaferro?

Hill has the biggest impact right now because of how the run their offense.
Hyde is the future in SF but Gore still has some life left in his legs and is superior in pass protection. Hyde could take over full time if Gore gets hurt. Aside from that, Gore finishes out his contract there, then Hyde takes over.
Sankey is a good player but he's too raw to start now. He saw a bump in carries last week and maybe that trend continues, and maybe it doesn't. Just have to wait and see. He seems like the most talented back the Titans have, but he can't be trusted to do everything they need in a RB yet.
Crowell seems to be gaining steam in CLE as a better back than West. Both have been bright spots early on, but they will play to compliment each other. That said, they spent money on Tate and will give him the lion's share of the carries in the RBBC that is ahead.
McKinnon will see his role grow with AP gone, but that offense will struggle some with Bridgewater taking over.
Freeman has shown flashes of being good but its a crowded backfield and ATL seems content on RBBC with their 4 guys.
You made a smart move stashing Mathews. He will get a lot of touches without Woodhead there when he gets back. I wouldn't worry about dropping Hunter too much.

Sankey, Hill, Hyde, and Taliaferro are the ones I want to roster the most. I prefer Crowell over West, but it seems like the Browns are pretty even on them or favor West a touch.
