This is last year's finishing order for RBs using standard scoring. I included the final fantasy point total so you can see the drop offs from RB1 to RB2 to RB3. If I gave you this equation at the beginning of last season: Knowshon Moreno + DeAngelo Williams = Chris Johnson, you would've said I was nuts. This list demonstrates the importance of getting a stud RB early, as there just aren't enough to go around in a 12-team league. It also shows why Johnson is holding out for more money...he's worth it!

Man, I can't believe I lost in the playoffs with CJ and Rice as my starting RBs last year . . . is that proof of the nonexistence of God?
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but my question is who were your QB and WRs?
ReplyDeleteMy WR's were godawful (Housh, Hines, TO for too much of the season), which I know was the real problem. I had McNabb at QB, who wasn't bad.
