Fantasy Football 2006: Top 10 Fantasy RBs

The position of running back for a fantasy football team is where you look to find the most overall production. Most leagues allow you two running backs in their games, and with their amount of touches they have the ability to rack up the points for you on a weekly basis. You also have to account that in today's NFL, many teams employ two-back systems or share the carries. In extreme terms, like the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, you could have any of four running backs handling the ball in any given game. With all of that, how do you go about ranking the top backs in the NFL? How do you even know if you've got the right back?

A couple of pieces of advice for you before I put my rankings up. You want to make sure that you have at least 3 solid RB's on your team. This is neccessary because you want to be able to cover your bye weeks as well as have a third option in case one of your backs is matched up against a better run defense or is hampered by minor or major injuries. Second, be wary of the rookie RBs. They are a lot of times merely a mirage. You may think they'll do well, but the truth is for every Cadillac Williams, there are 5 RBs who don't contribute fantasy-wise to teams. (see. Arrington, J.J.)

That being said, we can go to my top 10 fantasy RBs for 2006.
