Running Back Rankings - 2008 Fantasy Football Draft Projections

by Kori Ellis on June 19th, 2008

Heading into the 2008 fantasy football season, there will be great debate about which running back should be taken first. On one hand, you have LaDainian Tomlinson who has been a fantasy football stud for many years. On the other hand, you have Adrian Peterson who showed limitless potential in his rookie season in the NFL. Which one do we choose right now?

1. LaDainian Tomlison - He’s been too good for too long to pass up.
2. Adrian Peterson - He has as much upside as any player in 2008.
3. Steven Jackson - Struggled in 2007 but should bounce back.
4. Brian Westbrook - Only injury concerns keeps him from top three.
5. Joseph Addai - Role should get even bigger this year for Colts.
6. Marion Barber III - Touchdown should be plentiful in 2008.
7. Larry Johnson - Can he bounce back and become a force?
8. Clinton Portis - Portis is underrated and could shine again.
9. Frank Gore - Mike Martz makes Gore a riskier pick than usual.
10. Marshawn Lynch - If he stays out of trouble, he’ll produce.
