Dominic Rhodes, Anthony Thomas or Ron Dayne. Rhodes would be my first choice, but he has a 4 game suspension to start the season and I think Lamont could be pretty good this year. Dayne is my likely choice as I have my doubts about Green + Ahman always gets injured. A-Train would be a bet that Marshawn will not start...which I see as unlikely.

Any thoughts on who you would pick?

*this will be for a bench spot, not a active roster spot*

I'd probably take Rhodes as he has the best chance to actually start and get a decent amount of carries. The 4 game suspension hurts, but when he comes back I think he'll get the most carries for the Raiders. Lamont Jordan could still be okay, but if anything they'll split time (they do have that Bush kid too, who could steal some carries, but I wouldn't worry about that as much). I'd stay away from the other because there's no guarantee that they'll even be backups when the pre-season's over (both teams have some young RBs who are sleepers to move up the depth charts)

I am so not on the Priest train....I could be wrong, but I don't think he will amount to much.

agreed. He's lucky to see 5 carries all year.

Michael Bennett may likely see more carries this year than any other KC running back. I pray that's not true since I have LJ on my $$$ team, but that sumbitch is still holding out.

I know, I wish he'd sign so I could use my #2 pick in the first year of a keeper league on him. I like S. Jackson and all, but I don't see him as being as dominant as LJ can be.
