Dave Buicks Top 25 Running Backs & How Long They Will Last at Your Party on the River

Hey party people. Whats going on this weekend? Tell your fantasy football commissioner to order twice as much beer as he thinks he needs. Better to be safe than sorry. This is a little production/durability metaphor thing to use for your fantasy football league

1. Larry Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs- Sunrise for this guy.
2. Shaun Alexander, Seattle Seahawks- Sunrise. Will be sitting next to LJ but beware of him sneaking off into the tent during the playoffs if his team has the NFC West locked up.
3. LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers- Middle of the night. Tomlinson could make it until sunrise but hes been a little banged up the past couple of years and the Chargers are going to expect him to drink a case every weekend.
4. Tiki Barber, New York Giants- Sunrise. Statistically, Barber is right there with the top 3 backs and is the clear cut # 4 overall.
5. Edgerin James, Arizona Cardinals- Middle of the night. James has been dinged before, well see if he can still shotgun beers at 5 in the morning.
6. Rudi Johnson, Cincinatti Bengals- Sunrise. Another underrated back. I put him ahead of Portis simply because this guy is going to be lounging next to the goal line quite often in that high powered Cincinatti offense.
7. Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins- Sunrise. Portis is surprisingly durable for his size but can he score at this party?
8. Stephen Jackson, St. Louis Rams- Middle of the night. Jackson will be carrying all of the Rams beer by himself through the woods & to the River, well see if Jackson holds up.
9. Lamont Jordan, Oakland Raiders- Middle of the night. This guy didnt make it until sunrise last season so whose to say that this weekend will be any different.
10. Ronnie Brown, Miami Dolphins- Middle of the Night. The first year carrying the load makes brown a candidate to be passed out on the beach at some point this season.
11. Carnell Williams, Tampa Bay Buccanears- Middle of the night. Williams ran right into a wall last year early on and was inconsistent the rest of the way. Was nursing his beers by the end of the year.
12. Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints- Sunrise. Ive never partied with Bush before but I have a feeling hes going to be up their with the big guns at sunrise.
13. Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles- Midnight. I expect this guy to start making excuses around eleven then slipping into the trees and walking to his car.
14. Dominick Davis, Houston Texans- Midnight. This guy only played eleven games last year. I dont trust him.
15. Willis McGahee, Buffalo Bills- Middle of the night. McGahee was portrayed as a bit of a wine cooler drinker last year but he has never missed a game in two years as a starter. Low touchdown totals definitely knock him down some notches.
16. Julius Jones, Dallas Cowboys- Early evening. Jones may roll into the season at eight and exit by ten. Who knows, hes missed 11 games the past two years and has a backup that knows how to party.
17. Reuben Droughns, Cleveland Browns- Middle of the night. This guy hasnt missed a game for two years. While racking up 1200+ yards last year he only found the end zone twice.
18. Willie Parker, Pittsburgh Steelers- Middle of the night. Fast Willie just might be up for this lifestyle. Fantasy football manager, take a chance on Willie.
19. Kevin Jones, Detroit Lions- Midnight. This guy was King Buster last year. Lightweight.
20. Chester Taylor, Minnesota Vikings- Midnight. Hey, Chester may party longer, I have no idea. Hes never had a full time gig and his tolerance is unknown.
21. Tatum Bell, Denver Broncos- Middle of the night. Who knows? He plays in Denver. When he gets to drink, hell be there with you at sunrise. Fantasy football league managers take note.
22. Jamal Lewis, Baltimore Ravens- Midnight. 900 yards in 15 games. Yikes. What happened to this guy, he used be able to party with the best of them.
23. Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts- Midnight. He is certainly showing up to river with the cool guys but will he be able to hang? Worth a risk, throw him a sixer.
24. Laurence Maroney, New England Patriots- Middle of the night. He might not show up until midnight but might just drink until noon.
25. DeShaun Foster, Carolina Panthers- Supper time. Hes yawning already.
