I’ve gotta go Forsett, Barber, Harrison, Jacobs, Maroney
Forsett should have no problem overtaking Julius Jones, and Leon Washington is a complimentary back who won’t take too many touches from Forsett. He’s by far the most skilled runner of the three, and that will have him getting the majority of carries, and he showed how good he can be last season.
Barber’s further down on draft boards than he’s been in a few years, so you can really get some value out of him this year. He had a down year last year and still had 932 yards and 7 tds, he’ll give you alotta bang for the buck
Harrison is the guy in Cleveland, and yes while it is Cleveland, that’s still more job security than most running backs. He’s been having trouble with fumbles in the preseason, and there is a lot of risk involved, but the way he came on last season to total 561 yards and 5 TDs in the last three weeks can’t be ignored.
Jacobs will be pushed by Bradshaw this season and has knee problems, but he’s still one of the better goal line options in the game, so he’ll get his fair share of scores as long as he can stay on the field.
Maroney’s a guy I’d just stay away from. He’s had every opportunity to become the guy in New England and he just can’t do it. The Pats aren’t even playing him in the preseason, and have been known to go with different looks in the backfield. There’s a small chance he could finally realize his potential and breakout, but it’s not a risk I’d be willing to take.
