Two second year backs in my top four. Is that messed up or not?

I thought the Falcons would throw more this year, but now...maybe not so much. |

Forte, Matt |

The Bears will probably TRY to throw more, which won't help. |
|
4 |
Slaton, Steve |
HOU |

Odds are Schaub will get hurt at some point. |

Jones-Drew, Maurice |

Holt will help, but these are still the Jags. |

Brown, Ronnie |

Ready for his first 1000 yard season |

The Redskins SHOULD be throwing more this year. Should. |

How does Schaub getting hurt HELP Slaton?

I agree
This is a pass happy offense. Without a healthy Schaub, teams will key on stopping Slaton and make the backup QB beat them (who is Houston’s backup QB anyway?).
I really do like Slaton this year though. Having said that, I wouldn’t rank him 4th over a guy like MJD. That guy will be a beast and will post 1800 all purpose yds with 50 receptions. Count on it.

Wow
Ronnie Brown and Kevin Smith are WAY too high for my liking. I would drop them at least 5 spots each, maybe more. Other guys like DeAngelo (especially with currently injured Jonathan Stewart), Steven Jackson and LaDainian Tomlinson. Actually I think I would rather have Westbrook or Jacobs over those two guys as well.
And Barber, IMO, is too high as well. All the names I listed above I would be more comfortable with. With a healthy Felix, Barber is not a top 10 RB.

Schaub
That was more of a warning than an advertisement. Houston’s backup is Dan Orlovsky who isn’t a complete waste.
Wow, I don’t see how you can count on Westbrook or Jacobs over a solid RB1 like Brown. But that’s one of the big stories of this season, how the RB rankings are so unsettled. There isn’t the “given” Top 5 or 10 guys like most years.
