I have to start 3 of these 4 rbs in my championship and still don't trust Henry. FYI, I've had Henry on my bench since week 3, including the last 2 weeks. RB Alvin Kamara, Saints RB Dalvin Cook, Vikiings RB Nick Cubb, Browns RB Derrick Henry, Titans I'm a :"dance with who brung ya" type owner and Dalvin's big week last week got me to the big game. Also, I'm really high on Chubb and like his matchup vs the Bengals. I would have traded one of these guys to upgrade my WRs but Cook, Cubb and esp Henry had no trade value until after deadline passed Which 3 would you fellas start?

Based off those articles on Fantasy Pros, I'll make this a post predicting this season's Studs, Disappointments (Top 10 RB dropouts), and Replacements (Finishing in Top 10 RB) The Studs -RB Todd Gurley, RAMS -RB Saquon Barkley, Giants -RB Dalvin Cook, Vikings -RB David Johnson, Cardinals The Disappointments (most from poor team performance/QB play, some from injury/other factors) - RB L'Veon Bell, Steelers - RB Ezekiell Elliot, Cowboys - RB Alvin Kamara, Saints - RB Kareem Hunt, Chiefs - RB Leonard Fournette, Jaguars - RB Melvin Gordon, Chargers The Replacements - RB Christian McCaffrey, Panthers - RB Derrick Henry, Titans - RB Royce Freeman, Broncos - RB Alex Collins, Ravens - RB Nick Chubb, Browns - RB Chris Carson, Seahawks

2018 #1 overall pick has been a consensus RB Todd Gurley Gurley with an ADP around the Overall Pick #20 going into drafts last year and ended up being the Top Fantasy performer. Turns out he was quite the value and won owners a lot of leagues last year. Some of the stats on Gurley's 2017 season vs 2016 season - Increased Yards per carry from 3.2 in 2016 to 4.7 in 2017. - Increased receptions from 43 to 64. - Increased Total TD from 6 to 19 Some of the reasons I believe Gurley had a magical 2017 season - Team had much better QB and WR play - Team had an outstanding Defense - Team had one of the best records in the league and won their division with 11-5 record There is a current running RB with an ADP around Overal Pick #12 going into 2018 drafts that I believe could end up being this season's Top Fantasy performer... His name... Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings - Cook showed tremendous NFL skill set in the short sample of 4 games he played last season before suffering a torn ACL.will - Cook has shown so far this preseason and in camp that he is fully recovered from the injury. - His team will have better QB and WR play this season with the addition of Kirk Cousins and the emergence of Adam Thielan and Stephon Diggs - His team as an outstanding defense, giving him ample opportunites - Team will have one of the best records in the league, after going 13-3 last season and getting better and more healthy this season. Fantasy owners seem a little gun shy on Cook for these reasons. - returning from a major injury - short NFL track record - Latavius Murray still on team to steal carries/TDs from Cook Personally, I'm not concerned about those first two points and Cook is vastly more talented than Murray and the Vikings will realize it before they even break camp and feed Dalvin the rock all year long. My prediction for 2019 Top Five Fantasy Picks 1. RB Dalvin Cook 2. RB Saquan Barkley 3. RB Todd Gurley 4. WR Odell Beckham 5. WR Michael Thomas Both DJ and Bell will start to show their age while their teams give starts to rookie QBs, but both will still put up near Top 10 fantasy numbers if healthy. Bold Rookie Prediction: Browns RB Nick Chubb have 2nd best rookie RB season behind Barkley
