well, i think ya gotta know the relevant stats to properly put the backs in order. for instance, is a TD-only league? TD w/ bonus 3pts for over 100 yards? point per 10 yards rush/rec?
but here's my rankings (early offseason):
1. Priest Holmes, KC
2. Clinton Portis, WASHINGTON (his skills w/ Gibbs? no brainer)
3. Ladanian Tomlinson, SD
4. Ahman Green, GB
5. Deuce McAllister, NO
6. Shaun Alexander, SEA (always seems to be overlooked, yet puts up big TDs year after year)
7. Ricky Williams, MIA (beware the 4 game suspension)
8. Jamal Lewis, BAL (Only because you're drafting now, and you don't want to burn your #1 pick on Prisoner #24601 - agree)
9. Marshall Faulk, STL
10. Travis Henry, BUF
11. Michael Bennett, MIN
12. Edgerrin James, IND
13. Stephen Davis, CAR (beware the vulture of Foster)
14. Fred Taylor, JAX (though he could have a greater upside)
15. Dom Davis, HOU
16. Corey Dillon, NE
17. Curtis Martin, NYJ
18. Rudi Johnson, CIN
19. Garrison Hearst, DEN
20. Kevan Barlow, SF
21. Kevan Jones, DET
22. Tiki Barber, NYG
23. T.J. Duckett, ATL
24. Brian Westbrook, PHI
25. Marcel Shipp, ARI
26. Julius Jones, DAL
27. Duce Staley, PITT
28. Thomas Jones, CHI
