2011 NFL Fantasy Picks...RUNNING BACKS...the right one or ones will Keep you at the TOP of your LEAGUE

It's that time and I see Fantasy Leagues starting all over and the BLUEDUDE will try to be as informative as I can in helping you with your picks.

First up the RUNNING BACKS.......and with NO CHRIS JOHNSON in TENNESSEE...somebody has moved up. The obvious pick would be ALL DAY Adrian PETERSON but there are some good ones on the BOARD in the middle and later picks.

The 2011 BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK Top Fantasy RUNNING BACKS:

1. Adrian ALL DAY PETERSON PURPLE PEOPLE: He puts up quality numbers and scores enough. ADD QB Donovan McNABB and now you might have even more scores. The only problem is minus Stud WR Sidney RICE who is the GREAT NORTHWEST...might be a problem and getting A P might be FOOLS GOLD without someone to Stretch the FIELD. They still have Percy "I LIVE IN PERCYLAND" HARVIN from talent rich Hampton/Virginia Beach area......so A P will still be productive

2. Jamal CHARLES Lake CHARLES LA Finest...Track Guy in HS and College: with Todd Haley assisting Charlie Weis in play calling...CHARLES will only be more of a threat. He is an excellent RB between and on the outside for his frame. He gets to 2nd Level.......GONE....he is a BURNER as well. Now with the addition of PITT WR Jonathan BALDWIN and an emerging former HAWKEYE TE Tony MEOAKI......CHARLES is even more of a threat to score.

3. Rashard MENDENHALL STEEL CITY Running Game INC.: He had 13 TD's last season......the offensive line is still suspect but add those fast YOUNG WRs #17, #84, and #88...the field should be stretched for MENDENHALL to find more holes. Drafted as a 20 year old Junior....#34 hasn't even reached his prime yet and now they are incorporating him in the PASSING GAME......PRIMANTI'S Brothers SAMICHES for all who cares.

4. Ray RICE aka "CHOPPIN' IT UP TOO MUCH" BMORE: This gut is a terror in both the running game and passing game. He is QB Joe FLACCO's release anytime there is trouble looming in the passing game. He will score in variety of ways and now they have WR Lee EVANS formerly of the BILLS and CAMP RANDALL Complex in MADISON Wisconsin......he will do more damage. A solid pick like MENDENHALL.

5. Maurice JONES-DREW "Pocket HERCULES" JACK CITY JAGS: Another mighty mouse with all the ability in the world. The former WESTWOOD Los Angeles Standout can also get you in two ways and he maybe the most difficult player to tackle in the Trenches because of LEVERAGE. He will definitely score and look for him even to climb on this list with a not so good passing game.

6. LeSean MCCOY Running at the LINC.org EAGLES: He is a silent hitter.....reminds the Bluedude of former UT KNOXVILLE RB and RAIDER Charlie GARNER...real nifty. The EAGLES must clean up their O-LINE but he is the safety valve if they don't. They have all them guns in the PASSING GAME which should really open it more for McCOY.

7. Stephen JACKSON reside in SIN CITY in the Off Season.....plays near the GATEWAY Arch to the WEST: with the development of QB Sam BRADFORD.....JACKSON doesn't have to shoulder the load anymore by his lonesome. Having said that all them years of pounding the PIGSKIN with #39 has taken it's toll. AGE is only reason he is no longer a top flight FANTASY PICK.....but if you see him MIDDLE.....GRAB HIM like quickly.

8. Michael TURNER the BURNER NIU Dekalb ILLINOIS DIRTY BIRDS: I am not sold on him but if it's in the RED ZONE and 2 yards or less.....maybe the best on the LIST. Look the Dude has RHINO LEGS...the ones you see at your local ZOO or your local CLUB. Yeah some CHICS have those RHINO LEGS to......BLUEDUDE is fan of those. He won't be effective anywhere else and by the LOOKS of Pre Season...Falcons QB MATTY ICE might throw it 70 times a game. I know this RHINO LEGS is a Middle Fantasy Pick at RB.

9. Matt FORTE Tulane in the BIG EASY Monsters of the MIDWAY: He is a Poor Man's version of Marshall FAULK and any RB in the NFL would love that comparison. FORTE is Better WR than RB and maybe the best WR on the BEARS. QB Cutler will have to depend on him a lot but he is not a stretch if you get him in the first 6-9 picks.

10. LeGarrette BLOUNT QUACK ATTACK and NON-DRAFTED for previous INDISCRETIONS: The PIRATE SHIP has a New Mike ALSTOTT not as BIG but Quicker. The BUCS have them a good one here to go with a new found passing game from QB Josh FREEMAN. BLOUNT is the #1 sleeper on this board and if you pick him upwards of 5-7 and get the looks.....tell them the BLUEDUDE SPORTALK sent you and if you drop by the WEBSITE...you might get an EDIBLE ARRANGEMENT. I you are picking at this SPOT in your league GRAB HIM.

11. Darren McFADDEN FAYETTEVILLE AR-KANSAS....the BLACK HOLE: imagine what RAZORBACK Coach then Houston NUTT had as his disposal.....RB McFadden, BOYS' RB Felix JONES, and DAWG POUND RB Peyton HILLIS...and HILLIS couldn't get on the field. Look if this guy is healthy......he can score from anywhere. He has a nice balance....RUGGED yet a HR HITTER.....he also can move up on this list.

12. Felix JONES part of RUN DFP at AR-KANSAS.....the 'BOYS: At what point was Jerry JONES going to tell the COWBOYS that the OFFENSE can be a lot better if #28 JONES gets a steady diet of around 25 TOTES per. Look Jerry is already biased in picking from his ALMA MATER the HOGS and his roommate in FAYETTEVILLE was none other than JIMMY JOHNSON. NO.......not the one that in NASCAR....the Architect of the Early-Mid 90's 'BOYS who ran off 3 Super Bowls. If JONES get a lot of action he is SOLID as PEACHES and HERB.

BLUEDUDE's SLEEPERS.....DUDES that can get in the TOP 12...but need help as in SCHEME, O-LINE etc.......

DeAngelo WILLIAMS PANTHERS...good pick with a ROOKIE QB in front of him
Peyton HILLIS BROWNS...Defenses will catch up to him n on MADDEN Cover
Jahvid BEST LIONS....stay out the training room young man....SOFT like BOUNTY
