Brandon Jackson, RB from Green Bay. He has looked good in preseason, and he will most likely win the starting job. Jackson is a rookie, and they would like to establish him at the # 1 back. I think they will only split carries if Jackson proves ineffective.
Lamont Jordan, RB Oakland. Since Rhodes is suspended the first 4 games, Jordan will get #1 back carries for at least those first few games. After that, I still think he will get carries. In addition, he is a receiving threat out of the backfield. In his last full year (2005), he caught 70 passes. Plus, he is only 28 years old.
If you have a 10-12 person league, I wouldn't pick either guy in the first 4 rounds. I think the 5th-6th round for a potential sleeper is fair.
