Young RBs could shine in Bears- Saints

More young players something to prove in Week 17 ...

Saints vs. Bears

Pierre Thomas, Saints - The rookie undrafted pick is stuck at a crowded position, but could shine in his first NFL start.

Devery Henderson, Saints - Likely playing his last game for the franchise. Henderson needs a big game just to top 500 yards in a disappointing campaign.

Garrett Wolfe, Bears - It's a small sample size, but Wolfe wants to improve on his 2.9 yards-per-carry average as a rookie.

Mark Bradley, Bears - Once thought of as a surefire future number one, Bradley could get a start with Muhsin Muhammad banged up. Bradley will have a shot to replace Bernard Berrian or Moose in the starting lineup next year, but he has a lot to prove.

Seahawks vs. Falcons

Ben Obamanu, Seahawks - Seattle does a good job developing receivers and Obamanu looks like their most promising young bet other than Deion Branch. Seattle is likely to take out their starters if they get a sizeable lead.

Laurent Robinson - The whole staff in Atlanta will be new next year, so I'm not sure this game means much for them. Robinson could open some eyes with back-to-back 100 yard games.

Obamanu - looks like their most promising youngster - other than DJ Hackett - who is a star in the making(if he can stay healthy)

Kind of a dull time - so i figured i would list my RB's for next year-Liek to do this while fresh in my mind:

RB: (all rankings based on PPR leagues-the only way to play)

Tier One:
LT – Still as good as it gets
A Peterson – Monster in the making
S Jax – injury plagued year- might let him drop a little – but prob not
J Addai – No risk – will catch ball AND score, all purpose monster
B Westbrook- Injury is only thing that you ever need to worry about – but has played 2 full years now
M Barber – ranking based on J Jones leaving and him being the sole man in Dallas backfield

Tier 2A:
R Brown – supposedly ahead of schedule – Miami getting even a little better will make him even better – all purpose stud
Michael Turner – The Burner will EXPLODE on the scene next year and I mean EXPLODE
Ryan Grant – G Bay found a gem – as solid as you can get
E Graham – it will all be about what his role will be, if he is clear cut #1- then he should be a top 15 pick
F Gore – the risk is the S Fran offense- but if they get even a little better he will get back near the top next year
R Bush – the catches bail him out all the time – always reliable for a 15 if healthy because of his catches, even in a time share, may be a great value pick next year
D McFadden – wherever he lands – a stud is born

Tier 2B:
C Portis – reliable when healthy, had a nice year
K Watson – again basing this on his being the primary back and Bengals releasing Rudi
J Lewis – if back with Cleveland as the starter is how we are ranking him
W McGahee- nothing special but gets his 12-14 a week, consistent
LJ – Chiefs line and injury concerns drop him down
M Lynch – Solid rookie year should only get better


Tier 3:
W Parker – good NFL RB – very average Fantasy Back
B Jacobs – could be real good if he could take a hit- Giants backfield too crowded
J Fargas – showed he could be very good if given the chance, ranking may actually be a little low
S Young – IF and BIG IF – Denver lets him be the guy – he could have huge upside
E James – days of being fantasy relevant are coming to a close
T Jones – Jets may look for a young runner, if he is still primary he can get job done
D Williams – you would think it is time for Panthers to make him the guy (ranking based on that)
J Jones - Sleeper - depending on where he lands



Tier 4:
L Maroney – want no part of him, doesn’t catch the ball or score, a fantasy bust
L White – doubtful he will be the lone man next year
S Alexander – Holmgren wants him back – question is why
D McCallister- was slow before injury – Stecker is a better RB – Saints would be wise to realize that
J Norwood – until he becomes the primary RB can’t put him any higher
K Jones – torn ACL second very serious injury in 2 years – may never be what he could have been
C Benson- Bears will no doubt look for a new starter
D Foster – should be no more than a back up next year
W Dunn- Stinks, No other way to put it
