i think Brown alone puts our backs inside the top 10. Probably the most exciting back we have had since Dillon. Guy can score from anywhere on the field.

Top 10 probably around 7 or 8
In no particular order Bal, Wash, Tampa, Detroit, Philly, Minn, Atl all come to mind . If McCaffrey is healthy and that’s always a big if the Raiders are there. Tampa is interesting in that they will have the same top 2 but I think Irving will be the #1 guy this season over White. Of course, I might be biased since Irving became the savior of my injury ridden fantasy team last season

I would add Buffalo, Detroit, Giants, Jacksonville, Chargers, Rams, Jets, and Miami (maybe).

I voted second option, but probably 10-20 range . The RB situation should be higher ranked this year for passing downs with Perine back and Moss as well. And Chase has the speed and burst.

This could fall anywhere from 10-18 as we are bunched in with so many teams. I feel like chase alone is around top ten. I’m not so sure about the rest of the room.

I went 12 to 18, closer to 12 than 18. Brown a lot, I am not sure about our depth.

I went 12-18.
Hard to tell with RBs these days. We know teams like Philly and Baltimore are at the top of the league but there are so many bunched up after that first group. I think Brown is still getting better so I would rank them towards the top of the 12-18 range.

I don't think we have enough depth to be better than 12-18. Hopefully Brooks can be impactful early.

With Chase Brown showing that he is a 3 down back last year and adding a proven tough RB in Samaje and then getting a stud like
Tahj Brooks I think we could be top 10. But we don't use our backs as often as we should running the ball IMO. Still voted 5-11 based
on potential. Chase Brown can take it the distance if he gets some good blocks and we got much better in short yardage with the
additions of Samaje and Tahj. We will see if Moss can get back to what he was with the Colts.

We entered last year with Moss at RB1, now he's RB3.

My top 5:
ATL
PHI
DET
BAL
CIN

I usually don't vote (especially early), just like in the Gameball threads.  Because it's widely acknowledged I'm the smartest man in the forum and don't wish to sway folks,

Middle of the pack, we just aren't dedicated to the run like we could be.

^This^

I voted middle of the pack on pure running the ball stats. ZT and Co. have a track record of totally abandoning the run in games - too much and too soon.
