Prisco's Top Ten Running Backs

[DFWJC]

Okay, okay, I know it's Prisco (and another guy) but I'm just helping to keep it lively around here. I think this is a "real" and not fantasy football ranking...or guys like MJD and Forte would be higher. Can't wait until you guys get a load of this.

I dont know how Portis could be on either list and didnt Slayton just get drafted?

These lists are always debatable.
However
As a rookie last year, Slaton was fantastic. 1282 rushing with a 4.8 ypc...plus 50 catches for 337....10 total TDs.

Portis gained nearly 1500 yards rushing last year and was leading the NFL in rushig for most of the season until a late season nagging injury.

They both belong in the discusssion, but some would debate if they should be top 10.

I don't get how anyone could say Portis isn't top 10 other than their entire defense of that being, because he plays for the Commanders which is, frankly, a stupid reason that he shouldn't be in the top 10.

The guy is a machine and posts numbers pretty much year in and year out despite being just about the only real, consistent, weapon the Skins have.
