Week 4 RB Rankings

Here are my rankings for RBs for week 4 action;

1) Marshawn Lynch
2) LaDanian Tomlinson
3) Clinton Portis
4) Marion Barber
5) Maurice Jones-Drew
6) Reggie Bush
7) Frank Gore
8) Adrian Peterson
9) Jamal Lewis
10) Steven Jackson
11) Michael Turner
12) Jonathan Stewart
13) Chris Perry
14) Steve Slaton
15) Selvin Young
16) Larry Johnson
17) Ryan Grant
18) Matt Forte
19) Earnest Graham
20) Darren McFadden
21) Edgerrin James
22) Pierre Thomas
23) Thomas Jones
24) Micheal Pittman
25) Chris Johnson

I have Lynch ahead of LT, because I see San Diego getting up 30-6 at the half, and resting LT. At least that's my hope, as I go against him in my league. It's Bush v Gore 2008, and Bush narrowly comes out ahead this time again. New Orleans has a decent run defense, and I could see Bush catching 10 passes and rushing for another 60-70 yards. Adrian Peterson has a tough matchup this week. That game might actually feature a combined running back line that will look like this; 42/57/0. Ugly stuff, but you still have to start him. Selvin Young should see plenty of action against the woeful Chiefs. Larry Johnson stinks, and if you are Mike Shannahan, who are you scheming for, Larry Johnson, or Damon Huard? McFadden is running against a surprisingly mortal San Diego defense, I see a huge variability in that game. Chris Johnson could see a lot of full backfields, and catch 5-8 passes this weekend, making him worth a look against an otherwise insanely tough run defense.
