Harmon Updated RB Ranks

As with the quarterback position, the top of the pack at the running back position isn’t disputed. However, the debates begin pretty quickly as you reach the back-end of the RB1 ranks (8-12).

Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice & Maurice Jones-Drew stand atop the mountain, but Jones-Drew’s knee injury is weighing heavily on the minds of fantasy owners at the crescendo of the draft season. Obviously, there’s some question about whether Chris Johnson can come close to replicating his frightening 2009 totals. The Minnesota receiving corps is concerning and, for whatever reason, Rice is usually the last mentioned in this group (McGahee? Flacco’s rise?).
