We've done the Big Dog RBs, Second Tier RBs, Third Tier RBs, and Fourth Tier RBs, now it's time to look at the next wave of RBs. We're getting your bench RBs and Bye Week plays. You can use these guys for trades or simply use them as insurance policies in case of injury.
Selvin Young - Usually a Denver RB is as good as gold. I just can't quite trust any of them this year. Selvin had 960 total yards last year, but only 1 TD. Michael Pittman and Ryan Torain could steal touches from Young.
Rudi Johnson/ Kenny Watson - Early indications are that Rudi is back. He's in terrific shape and is hitting the holes hard. Problem is Kenny Watson easily outplayed him last year. I think this is going to be a true RBBC with them splittiing carries fairly equally (barring injury). Kenny Watson had over 1000 total yards and 7 TDs. Rudi had 600 and 4. You would think Rudi would be the short yardage back, but Watson will probably get plenty of work in the redzone because of his pass-catching ability.
Jonathan Stewart - Since DeAngelo Williams hasn't lived up to the hype, I see the Oregon rookie stealing the show down in Carolina. He's a bruiser at 5a€²11a€³, 230 Lbs with good speed. He ran for 1722 yards for the Ducks last year, and should have a solid rookie showing.
Matt FortA(c) - Things looked real good for the Tulane rookie before Kevin Jones inked a deal with Da Bears. That said, I'm not sure KJ is healthy enough (or will remain healthy) to keep Forte from being a decent fantasy play. He ran for 2127 yards and 23 TDs in his Senior season. He's also capable of catching the ball out of the backfield.
Kevin Smith - Another rookie that could make waves this year is Detroit's Kevin Smith. He doesn't have great speed, but he tore it up for UCF last year racking up 2567 yards and 29 TDs. If the Pro game isn't too fast for him, he could be a steady contributor.
