NFL writer ranks Brees/Peterson/Thomas #8 trio in league

Its hard for me to just put AD instead of MI there for Saints but in any case, i'd say Saints should be #4-#5 ranking.

I agree with including Ingram over Peterson it's the proven trio for this offense currently...I think the raking is in the right range, but I would have them ranked over Carolina without question.

If Ingram is swapped out and he was a 1000 yard rusher last year, Peterson has to be better.

Dallas should be lower.
Carolina should be lower.
Oakland should be lower.

Green Bay should be higher.
New England should be higher.
New Orleans should be higher.

Dallas:
Dak: Rodgers, Brady, Brees are better
Elliott: Better than Montgomery, White, or Ingram/Peterson
Dez: Nelson, Gronk, and MT are better, even taking to account injury times

Carolina:
Cam: Rodgers, Brady, Brees are better
McCaffrey: Not better than Ingram. Might be better than Montgomery and White
Olsen: Is not better than Nelson/Thomas, better than injured-Gronk

Oakland:
Carr: He's right up there with Brees, but not better than Brady/Rodgers
Lynch: Out of football a year, not better than Ingram. Probably still better than Montgomery and White
Cooper"
Cooper: About the same as Thomas, not better than Nelson, better than injured Gronk. Not better than healthy Gronk

It should be:
1. Pittsburgh (tier 2 QB with #1a WR and #1a RB)
2. Atlanta (tier 1 QB with #1b WR and tier 1 RB)
3. New Orleans (tier 1 QB with tier 2 RB and tier 1 WR)
4. Green Bay (#1a QB with tier 3 RB and tier 1 WR)
5. New England (#1b QB with tier 3 RB and tier 1 TE)
6. Oakland (tier 1 QB with tier 2 RB and tier 1 WR)
7. Dallas (tier 2 QB with #1b RB and tier 2 WR)
8. Carolina (tier 2 QB with tier 2 RB and #1 TE)

If I were to keep them all top 8 still.

It makes me smile inside that Ingram isn't in the trio. I hope it gives him motivation and he just doesn't go cry on the sideline.

He hasn't even taken a fricking snap yet!! Not one.

I agree, but its not unfathomable to pencil him as better than James White and Ty Montgomery. I think both of those guys #s combined barely reach 1k yards (rushing and receiving)

Think its a national writer thing. Most around this area think it will be Ingram as the starter. Save a few hold out Ingram never going to like him haters.
