By now, it's a safe assumption that LaDainian Tomlinson and Steven Jackson will go #1 and #2 overall any upcoming fantasy football drafts. Most earlier fantasy drafts have seen Larry Johnson and Frank Gore getting selected at #s 3 and 4 overall. Now, with Johnson's holdout and Gore's broken hand they may be risky picks at those positions. So, Who should you pick if you get the third or fourth overall pick in your fantasy football draft?
You could of course still choose Johnson or Gore. The minute Johnson ends his holdout he'll be a safe #3 overall pick. If Gore starts the season he should produce - He has a hand injury and not a leg injury. His biggest problem will be taking the handoff from Alex Smith.
If you get that third or fourth overall pick in your fantasy draft and consider Johnson and Gore to risky there are a few running backs you should be looking at.
Shaun Alexander's coming off an injury riddled season, but came back big late in the season. He's not on the cover of Madden this year and could have a nice comeback this year. It was only 2 seasons ago when he scored a then record 28 TDs.
Joseph Addai doesn't have to share carries with the departed Dominic Rhodes anymore, and has one of the best passing offenses around him, so he's poised for a huge season. Expect him to put up the stats Edgerrin James put up when he played for the Colts.
Reggie Bush could go as high as #3 in some fantasy football drafts. If the Saints decide to give him the nod over Deuce McCallister in carries and he keeps catching the ball, he could break out big this year. Bush is a threat for a gamebreaking play every time he touches the ball.
