FanNation | FANTASY SPORTS ANONYMOUS's Blog | FANTASY TOP 20 RUNNING BACKS 16-20

16. Ronnie Brown. Brown had a disappointing season last year. He will have a great bounce back year. With Camreon has the new coach. Ronnie is a poor poor mans LT. The new head coach with the dolphins will get him the ball earily and often. He will get all the carries for the phins. Brown will also be a good option out of the backfield. I would look to take Brown late second round earily third. He will be out to proven he can cut it in the NFL.

17. Edge James. Last season for the Cards Edge had 1159 yards rushing and 6 td's. With a new coach and offensive line coach both from Pittsburgh. They will run the ball alot more and will be more effective at running the ball. The Cards offense is a bomb waiting to go off. They have all the weapons and once the passing game gets going Edge will have huge holes to run through. With Edge getting all the carries I would not be surprised if by the end of the year Edge might just jump up into the top 10 in rushing yards and maybe even td's.

18. Clinton Portis. Portis was hit earily and often with injuries last year. Portis is still the main back in Washington but Betts is very close behind him. Portis will have to split carries with him. Just to keep Portis fresh and injury free. When Portis is at his best he is no question a top 10 fantasy back. That is remains to be seen. Portis will get plenty of carries and even some looks out of the backfield. He might be worth the risk to take late first round earily second if you think he is back to his old forum and the injuries are behind him.

19.Maurice Jones Drew. Jones Drew came out of nowhere last season with his 1377 all purpose yards and 16 total td's. He put on a great rookie fantasy performance. Jones Drew is a great split carry back along with Frd Taylor. Jones Drew will get plenty of touches while the Jags try to keep both backs fresh and healthy. Jones Drew will look to better his last season stats. I feel he might come up a little bit short of his rookie season. Jones Drew is a great third round pick. He might be worth the risk to reach for him in the second round.

20.Deuce McAllister. Deuce had a solid comeback season last year. He was healthy and his new running mate kept him fresh and heathly. Deuce will be splitting carries with Bush all season. That is fine the Saints offense is very good and will put up points in a hurry. Deuce put up great numbers last season 1057 yards rushing and 10 td's. You can not ask for more in a split back situtaion.
