It’s August 13, 2007… 8 days until my fantasy football 12-man draft…
My first three picks: 1.8, 2.1, and 2.5
In the back of my head I know that since I will spend my 1st pick on my RB1 (pick 1.8) and my 2nd (2.1) and 3rd (2.5) picks on high-end WR’s, I’m starting to look for possible RB2’s that hopefully I can draft in the later rounds.
There were a number of pre-season NFL games this weekend. I took a look at the various runningbacks who were somewhat active.
Behind the numbers:
Marion Barber (Dallas):
Attempts: 12
Yards: 48
TD: 0
Longest Run: 16
Julius Jones (Dallas):
Attempts: 6
Yards: 22
TD: 0
Longest Run: 7
Jamal Lewis (Cle):
Attempts: 4
Yards: 20
TD: 0
Longest Run: 15
Deshaun Foster (Caro):
Attempts: 5
Yards: 62
TD: 0
Longest Run: 31
M. Lynch (Buff):
Attempts: 2
Yards: 3
TD: 0
Longest Run: 2
Adrian Peterson (Minn):
Attempts: 11
Yards: 33
TD: 0
Longest Run: 7
Tatum Bell (Det):
Attempts: 6
Yards: 19
TD: 0
Longest Run: 11
Brandon Jacobs (NYG):
Attempts: 4
Yards: 15
TD: 0
Longest Run: 7
Brandon Jackson (GB):
Attempts: 16
Yards: 57
TD: 0
Longest Run: 15
*One set of numbers that jumped out at me were the number of carries for both Brandon Jackson of Green Bay and Adrian Peterson of Minnesota. This bodes keeping an eye on. It almost seems like an auditioning of some sort… but why didn’t Lynch get more attempts for Buffalo?
*The second set of numbers are from Deshaun Foster in Carolina. There’s a lot of hype for D. Williams this year, but Foster is currently the starting rb and he showed why this weekend. Who will be the handcuff? Foster or Williams? This also bodes keeping an eye on.
Talk to you again tomorrow!

I believe Brandon Jackson will have a good season....he's a good sleeper pick. I am not thrilled with Lynch's situation in Buffalo. That's not the easiest place to put up yardage. Foster still scares me. He'd be a late-rounder for me.
