Any reports on how Arian Foster is doing so far? I might take him in a late round if it looks like he'll get the SY/GL carries.

I'm also interested in these other Rook RBs:

James Davis, Cleveland Browns - Jamal Lewis's legs have to be getting worn down. Davis, although taken in Round 6, could be a steal for them. Might be a late round pickup for me.

Chris Wells - probable Day 1 starter in AZ.

LeSean McCoy - Westbrook's bound to get hurt again...at some point.

At WR, Percy Harvin and Hakeem Nicks look like good early gambles.

What do y'all think? Any other rookies out there worthy of top round status? Thanks for the insight.

Knowshon Moreno. Guy is running behind one of the best O-Lines in the game. Denver will have to commit heavily to the run with Cutlers departure and the possibility of Marshall leaving and/or getting suspended for some games.

I wouldn't take Foster. Even if he does make the team, he might get about 2 TD's this year.

Moreno, Chris Wells and Donald Brown all seem to be the early rookie rb favorites.

i see percy harvin becoming the next desean jackson, not the biggest guy but will kill you with the speed, also dangerous return man

don't forget about Maclin in the Eagles. They're high on him already. He's definitely going to get some goal line looks.

I'm high on Wells in AZ because the Edge is dead and Hightower didn't really do that hot when he was the featured back.

Moreno in Denver should be good, draft him late, start him early if they aren't doing RBBC. ;)

If Frank Gore goes down, pick up Glen Coffee. in 10 team leagues he won't even be drafted. LeSean McCoy is going to start eating into westy's carries.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely grabbing Robiskie (wr-cleve) because of the lack of awesome that is Edwards.
