Running Backs Rankings -
1. Jammal Charles: JC was a monster for owners in 2013. His first round draft status was sustained. He is one of the best backs I have ever seen catching ball out of the backfield. He can take short gainer and turn it into 20+ yards. Its also helps he get a boatload of goal line carries. Especially since the Kansas City offenss is all about short passes and letting Charles carry the offense.
2. LeSean McCoy - Shady arguably have the quickest reaction when avoiding tackles. He so good at spinning , turning and everything in between. His football pedigree may be his ability to break consistent long gains on catches out of the backfield. I love what he brings to the table. The arrival of Sproles hurt his draft value a bit. Which is the main reason he doesn't make a case for number one overall.
3. Adrian Peterson: AP went from near record breaking (2012) to disappointing in 2013. He wasn't bad last season. But his numbers weren't what were expected out of the number 1 overall selection. Peterson now is primed to get back on track with a new coach (Turner) and quarterback (Waterbridge). Peterson can do it all. His abilities to break tackles and gain yardage after the first hit is unbelievable.
4. Matt Forte: Fotre is a legit back. In the past , he have had trouble staying healthy for 16 games. Last year he broke that trend. I consider him the complete back in some sense. He is terrific out of the backfield. The bears love featuring Fotre in different place. Matt will normally lineup at running back. But often , Matt will lineup as a Wide Out. What I love most about him, he can block downfield unlike any other.
5. Eddie Lacy: Lacy is one of my favorite backs. What a season he had for the Green Bay Packers. Before Lacy came around , Ryan Grant was the last Packer to rush 100 yards in a game (let alone 1000 yards in a season). Many view Lacy as overweight , but he just a power back. He is tough as nails. You aren't gonna bring this freak of nature down without a fight. Can he repeat his 1200 yards year? Definitely. Least 1000 is in his wheelhouse.
