• RB – Cedric Benson – 11.3 ppg
• RB – Correll Buckhalter – 6.0 ppg
• RB – Jamaal Charles – 6.9 ppg
• RB – Chris Brown – 3.2 ppg
• RB – Adrian Peterson – 15.8 ppg
• RB – Ricky Williams – 13.4 ppg
• RB – Darren Sproles – 7.3 ppg
• RB – Rock Cartwright – 3.1 ppg

The numbers make it easy to select who to put on the strongest team, but there’s always late-season surges to account for (such as Jerome Harrison for Cleveland scoring 21 fantasy points against San Diego).

The potential surprises will probably make the bench of the stronger teams, as a just-in-case thought.  Full and final rosters coming soon.
