Felix Jones is a rookie who will stay under the radar for a little while, but will get playing time and put up some decent numbers. Expect him to play a role similar to the role of Julius Jones, and share carries with Barber.
Jones will be a good late round pickup this season, with [...]

LaMont Jordan is a bit of a late round sleeper pick after finding his way to Denver. The Broncos have been busy this offseason loading up at running back. Adding Jordan to the backfield gives them depth, but he has a legitimate chance to win the starting job.
Jordan is only a couple years [...]

Matt Forte came out in his rookie season and put up some real nice numbers. Expect that to continue in 2009.
The Bears offense is now set up to revolve around their stud running back Forte. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, run between the tackles, and has good speed. [...]

Ad Peterson could be a sneaky little sleeper pick for the 2008 fantasy football season.
The Bears drafted Matt Forte in the draft, and cut Cedric Benson. Their intention is for Forte to start, and they have said they won’t be bringing in additional running backs. If that is the case, Peterson [...]

Kevin Smith could be a nice pickup this season, and I expect him to run even better than he did his rookie campaign.
Smith came in with lofty expectations. He was likely drafted before Forte in last years draft, but performed nowhere close to how Forte did. This season, Smith should slip to the [...]

Tatum Bell has potential to be a starting running back come the 2008 fantasy season, but first he has to win the starting job in Detroit.
Keep a close eye on the running back situation in Detroit. They have Kevin Smith coming in this year, Tatum Bell who was brought in last year, and I [...]

Darren McFadden is an interesting selection coming into the 2009 fantasy football season. He showed flashes last year of greatness, but was not very durable. In addition, the Raiders have Fargas entrenched in their system, making the two Raider backs a running back by committee.
Even sharing the load, however, McFadden is worth a [...]

Shaun Alexander is not worth drafting in any leagues at this point. Keep an eye on him to see if he winds up somewhere that would give him a chance to get on the field, but likely his days of glory are over.

Jerious Norwood is an interesting player entering the 2008 fantasy football season. The Falcons brought in Mr. Turner to be their starting running back, but the jury is still out on whether he can be a full time starter in the NFL. If he falters, Norwood could be poised for a big season.
Even [...]

Everyone likes a Denver running back, but coming into this season, it’s a hodge-podge of players, and will probably be a gamble on who gets the lions share of touches until opening day. With that being said, I like Selvin Young’s prospects.
Young has been taking reps with the first team, Shanahan has spoken [...]
