If you could re-draft today for the rest of the season, who would your top 5 backs be? (PPR)

1. Forte
2. Murray
3. McCoy
4. Peterson?
5. L. Bell/Lynch/Foster?

Would Charles & Lacy even be top 10 backs now?

wow .
And honestly, this is fantasy football in a nutshell. You have been incredibly fortunate so far (as have I with Forte, Murray, Bell all back to back) with no injuries as all three have a pretty rich injury history. Knock on wood for more good luck.

No. You both play FF with idiots. That's your incredible fortune. All of those guys are no brainer top 2 round guys.

Well Murray was drafted in the 2nd round and we drafted two days after Bell was arrested so he fell to the third.

And bullllshit. Foster was talking about hanging it up last year after his surgery and you had to wonder where his head was and if he was even healthy to carry a full load. If anyone drafted him in the 2nd round, they did on a hope and prayer, not because they knew something everyone else didnt. GTFO with that shite.

Now that's some bullshite. "a hope and prayer" type of player doesn't go in the first 7 rounds

Foster was widely considered a 2nd round guy. But opinions vary around different leagues. It's not that uncommon for him to go in the 3rd and it definitely was not considered a stupid move to wait until the 3rd to pick him. Just depends

No, a hope and prayer player is someone that is drafted ahead of where his value should dictate. Who considered Foster a top 5 back? Top 7 back? Top 10 back even? If you drafted Foster in the 2nd, you over-drafted on him hoping he would bear some semblance to the Foster of 3 yrs ago. It worked as he looks great and is producing but no one expected him to be a 25 carry back again and if they did they are lying.

his ADP on ESPN was fricking 13th. So he was a second round pick in basically every single draft on espn. For reference, Murray's is 18th and Bell's 19th.
