I just want to see where you put Lynch next week…
@Sam:
You and me both… I was hoping for this day as soon as they drafted Spiller, I have him in my Dynasty league, and now i dont know how i feel.
If he goes back to the Lynch that was there his first two years he will be a top 15 back going forward and could be that guy that helps push teams over the top.
We shall see this time next week
Also a side note… i ranked these guys as if they were playing.
If for example Pierre Thomas is ruled out go a head and upgrade his back up, and i would place them right around the same spot as the starter to just a little bit lower.
As always if you have a question just leave it in the comments section
Where is Ray Rice, or has he really fallen out of the top 50?
@Todd Embley: No he has not fallen out of the top fifty he has merely been skipped over, as were all the Baltimore backs.
Ray Rice v. Den put him at 13
Willis McGahee v. Den put him at 26
Sorry for that error…
So it looks like Darren McFadden isn’t playing. Does that mean Michael Bush should be ranked around 22 or still at 25?
@Rainman:
If it stays that way and McFadden stays out i would move Bush up to about 18. He will get all the carries as Oakland tries to keep the ball out of Philip Rivers hands.
