2007 Fantasy Football RB's: Which Ones to Think Twice About Drafting?

Why should you listen to my fantasy football advice? In 9 years of playing fantasy football I have won 5 fantasy football Super Bowl Championships.

These are the RB's you should be wary of for the upcoming season. None of them are bad players and some have been great and at least one of them is destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. But for the upcoming season they are all risks. I'm not saying you shouldn't draft them but that you should think twice before you do and especially contemplate when you draft them.

Making the right draft decisions with RB's is a key to winning in fantasy football.

Shaun Alexander (Seattle Seahawks) - as good a RB and fantasy RB as you'll find for 5 years prior to last season but was a big disappointment to most who drafted him last season. He's a Hall of Fame RB but he'll be 30 years old by the time the season opens and coming off an injury he's a risk. He could go back to being great this year but he probably will never be what he once was again.

Ahman Green (Houston Texans) - moves to the Texans from the Green Bay Packers. Has disappointed fantasy owners for two years in a row now. He's already 30 years old heading into this season and I just don't see him going back to being the productive back he was in Green Bay from 2000-2004. Thirty years old maybe young for most of us but not for an NFL running back.

Travis Henry (Denver Broncos) - productive year for the Tennessee Titans last season with over 1,200 yards and 7 TD scores but a lot of that was because of Vince Young. Teams were afraid of Young's mobility and that allowed Henry to gain some yards. Teams will not be as afraid of Jay Cutler's mobility and I just don't see Henry being overly productive this season. I'd take him in my drafts but not until the later rounds. I'm wary of him this season.

Chester Taylor (Minnesota Vikings) - decent season last year with over 1,500 yards from the line of scrimmage and 6 TD's, including 42 receptions, but the added presence of 1st round draft pick Adrian Peterson really dampens the outlook for his productivity.
