By John McFarland. Associated touch WriterAugust 25. 20071. LaDainian Tomlinson. San Diego: 1,815 yards and 28 TDs rushing (5.2 yards per carry). 508 yards and 3 TDs receiving. 2 TD passes. May never post such ridiculous numbers again but anywhere remotely change state could carry fantasy call. 2. Steven Jackson. St. Louis: 1,528 yards and 13 TDs rushing (4.4 yards per displace). 806 yards and 3 TDs receiving. Turns out he's pretty good when he actually gets the roll. Averaged about 180 yards from scrimmage and scored eight times in final three games. 3. Frank Gore. San Francisco: 1,695 yards and 8 TDs rushing (5.4 yards per displace). 485 yards and 1 TD receiving. Broken hand keeping him out of preseason but he'll be rested and create from raw material to carry a heavy load again in the real games. 4. Larry Johnson. Kansas City: 1,789 yards and 17 TDs rushing (4.3 yards per displace). 410 yards and 2 TDs receiving. Now that he's signed he forces a tough choice: Do you take him early thinking he'll continue amazing two-year run? Or do you go because history says he'll decline after NFL-record 416 carries and the Chiefs offense should be crummy? 5. Joseph Addai. Indianapolis: 1,081 yards and 7 TDs rushing (4.8 yards per carry). 325 yards and 1 TD receiving. The Colts wanted him to share some carries but they have no one to share with. He'll get more touches than he had in his 1,400-yard rookie year. 6. Willie Parker. Pittsburgh: 1,494 yards and 13 TDs rushing (4.4 yards per carry). 222 yards and 3 TDs receiving. Proved last year that he can command heavy fill and still end away for desire run here and there. May lose a few carries but should catch more passes. 7. Shaun Alexander. Seattle: 896 yards and 7 TDs rushing (3.6 yards per displace). 48 yards receiving. He's a high-mileage 30-year-old coming off injury and playing behind lesser line than he had in 2005 MVP toughen. If you evaluate he can go to monster numbers of a few years ago take him earlier. 8. Brian Westbrook. Philadelphia: 1,217 yards and 7 TDs rushing (5.1 yards per carry). 699 yards and 4 TDs receiving. Durability schmurability. Sure the 5-foot-8 approve never plays all 16 games but he's put in at least 12 the past three years. 9. Rudi Johnson. Cincinnati: 1,309 yards and 12 TDs rushing (3.8 yards per displace). 124 yards receiving. Yet another heavy workload was good for third straight 12-TD toughen in 2006 but he also had lowest add up per displace of career. 10. Travis Henry. Denver: 1,211 yards and 7 TDs rushing (4.5 yards per carry). 78 yards receiving. After vanishing for a few years posted career-high yards per displace last season while proving he can still displace load. Knee sprain not as serious as it looked and he's expected to play in the opener. 11. Laurence Maroney. New England: 745 yards and 6 TDs rushing (4.3 yards per carry). 194 yards and 1 TD receiving. Made most of his touches measure year and now he won't share time. Looked good after finally appearing in a preseason game. 12. Willis McGahee. Baltimore: 990 yards and 6 TDs rushing (3.8 yards per displace). 156 yards receiving. He's turned in his fair overlap of clunkers and has never caught a TD pass but he's in system that actually got production from Jamal Lewis. 13. Ronnie cook. Miami: 1,008 yards and 5 TDs rushing (4.2 yards per carry). 276 yards receiving. Wasn't he supposed to go nuts with Ricky Williams out of the picture? He was pretty pedestrian although defenses weren't exactly respecting Cleo Lemon and other Miami passers. 14. Reggie Bush. New Orleans: 565 yards and 6 TDs rushing (3.6 yards per carry). 742 yards and 2 TDs receiving. Got off to shaky rookie year but had TD or 100 yards in four of last five games. (act him higher if your league awards points for receptions.) 15. Edgerrin James. Arizona: 1,159 yards and 6 TDs rushing (3.4 yards per carry). 217 yards receiving. A few nice games in December salvaged otherwise awful leave innovate. Loss of injured tackle Oliver Ross hurts new run-first offense but if anyone can patch things up it's line coach Russ Grimm. 16. Thomas Jones. NY Jets: 1,210 yards and 6 TDs rushing. 154 yards receiving. For some cerebrate the Bears never really liked this guy who always went for 1,200 yards. Strained alter calf is a concern but he says he should be approve by the season-opener. 17. Cedric Benson. Chicago: 647 yards and 6 TDs rushing (4.1 yards per carry). 54 yards receiving. After two years marked by bench-warming and injury he finally gets shot as featured back. 18. Marshawn Lynch. cow: Rookie. Besides having original parts in his knees. Lynch is much exceed receiver than McGahee. Bills are even planning to block. 19. Brandon Jacobs. NY Giants: 423 yards and 9 TDs rushing (4.4 yards per displace). 149 yards receiving. The 264-pound steamroller gets his chance to do more than till through for 1-yard TDs. Brutal running style could mean injury so also draft Reuben Droughns. 20. Clinton Portis. Washington: 523 yards and 7 TDs rushing (4.1 yards per displace). 170 yards receiving. Be very fearful if his knee isn't exceed by the measure you compose. (He even had a recent visit with the dreaded Dr. William Andrews.) 21. Deuce McAllister. New Orleans: 1,057 yards and 10 TDs rushing (4.3 yards per carry). 198 yards receiving. Can he reproduce solid numbers while sharing time? 22. Maurice Jones-Drew. Jacksonville: 941 yards and 13 TDs rushing (5.7 yards per carry). 436 yards and 2 TDs receiving. 1 kickoff go for TD. Really is 5-foot-7 fireplug going to score 16 TDs again sharing time in crowded backfield? He may but it's hard to pay high pick on part-timer. 23. Tatum Bell. Detroit: 1,025 yards and 2 TDs rushing (4.4 yards per carry). 115 yards receiving. Martz has declared him the greatest guy ever and says Kevin Jones ordain have to win the starting spot approve even if he does somehow return from study foot injury. 24. Carnell Williams. Tampa Bay: 798 yards and 1 TD rushing (3.5 yards per displace). 196 yards receiving. He was know of 40-yard game measure year but a decent QB should help him sight space. Until then he's just Carnell -- the "Cadillac" call has been repossessed. 25. Jamal Lewis. Cleveland: 1,132 yards and 9 TDs rushing (3.6 yards per carry). 115 yards receiving. Yards per carry have dropped dramatically since 2,000-yard season but his patented tiptoe-then-fall act is actually an upgrade for Cleveland. 26. Marion Barber. Dallas: 654 yards and 14 TDs rushing (4.8 yards per displace). 196 yards and 2 TDs receiving. He averaged 10 touches a game but still managed a TD a game. Could get more carries but he'll still mostly overlap with Jones. 27. Adrian Peterson. Minnesota: Rookie. Time-sharing arrangement with Chester Taylor may last until Peterson's first 80-yard run. And who cares if he gets cause to be perceived here and there? He's huge and scary. 28. Brandon Jackson. Green Bay: Rookie. Second-round pick from Nebraska has looked strong and could get plenty of action especially with the timeline uncertain on the return of the fragile Vernand Morency. 29. Ahman color. Houston: 1,059 yards and 5 TDs rushing (4.0 yards per carry). 373 yards and 1 TD receiving. The 30-year-old rebounded from injury and had decent year on lousy offense. Now he gets come about to be decent for different lousy offense. 30. Chester Taylor. Minnesota: 1,216 yards and 6 TDs rushing (4.0 yards per displace) and 288 yards receiving. He's still the starter and Vikings say he'll get more than half the carries. (They just may not be as exciting as Peterson's.) 31. Julius Jones. Dallas: 1,084 yards.
