Ask the Expert Question: Which rookie RB will have the best career?


Rookie running backs have been emerging in the last few weeks. Based on what you've seen and respective situations, which rookie runner do you currently believe will go on to have the best career?


Best career? Way too early to call that. Much will depend on skill sets (talent) and opportunity. Front runner has to be Mark Ingram in my mind, simply because of where he was drafted. In my first fantasy football book, Fantasy Football Guidebook, I point out that the first RB taken in the NFL draft is a stud 80% of the time. That percentage goes down the further away from the 1st round you go.  So the NFL scouts kind of know what they are doing. Statistically, the higher a RB is drafted, the greater the chance of a better career.
