2 Ricky Williams, MIA You can't ignore rushing for 149 yards per game and 16 TD's, will battle for #1
3 Ladainian Tomlinson, SD Adding David Boston only adds to the overall package of Tomlinson
4 Clinton Portis, DEN In the last 12 games, Portis scored 16 TD's and averaged 136 yds per game
5 Priest Holmes, KC If it wasn't for the hip injury, Holmes would rank #1 overall with his 24 TD's
6 Shaun Alexander, SEA Alexander would rank higher in TD only leagues, led all RB's with 18 TD's
7 Deuce McAllister, NO Led the NFC in rushing yards and TD's and faces a very easy schedule
8 Travis Henry, BUF Drafting rookie Willis McGahee won't impact Henry's performance this year
9 Ahman Green, GB Green suffered from injuries and an injured line, so look for a rebound in 2003
10 Edgerrin James, IND How can you all James a sleeper, easy, he'll return to his old form in 2003
11 Jamal Lewis, BAL Lewis would rank higher if he had any offensive support from Baltimore
12 Fred Taylor, JAX Health has been a concern for years but we expect a Mack-less Taylor to be big
13 Corey Dillon, CIN In yardage leagues, Dillon would rank higher, otherwise, he still plays for Cincy
14 Stephen Davis, CAR Davis will once again be the focus of a team and will hit double-digit TD's easily
15 Tiki Barber, NYG Barber would rank higher if he received his share of the inside-the-five TD's
16 William Green, CLE An improved offensive line and 25 carries a game will make fantasy owner sing
17 Eddie George, TEN Look for a consistent 1000 yard, 10-12 TD season as the normal for George
18 Amos Zereoue, PIT Zereoue would rank higher if not for the Bus stealing the goal-line touchdowns
19 Charlie Garner, OAK 1900 yards from scrimmage and 11 total TD's, but Crockett is used at the goal
20 Curtis Martin, NYJ Jordan prevents Martin from being the main man he once was and he falls to 20
21 Kevan Barlow, SF If Barlow starts the season at #1 he'll be a great sleeper, but watch out for Hearst
22 Doug Chapman, MIN Chapman was named starter but will still lose goal-line TD's to Moe Williams
23 Correll Buckhalter, PHI Buckhalter could easily be #1 when the season opens, we'll monitor his health
24 Antowain Smith, NE NE expects to pass early and often and Kevin Faulk takes away even more
25 Warrick Dunn, ATL Too many factors limit Dunn, such as Vick, Duckett and a  pass happy offense...
26 Mike Alstott, TB Alstott may never be the fantasy superstar, but 7-10 TD's isn't out of the realm
27 Duce Staley, PHI Philadelphia is shopping Staley around, if he lands with another team, look out
28 Onterrio Smith, MIN Onterrio could still end up the starter once the season gets under way
29 Stacey Mack, HOU The main man in Houston will be featured and that means a chance at 10+ TD's
30 Garrison Hearst, SF Hearst falls to #30 due to Barlow's increase time and a pass-oriented offense
31 T.J. Duckett, ATL Will rank higher if he can beat out Dunn and stay healthy, keep an eye on him
32 Adrian Peterson, CHI Keep an eye on this race as Peterson may very well start the season the #1 RB
33 Marcel Shipp, ARI Shipp will have to hope Smith gets injured in order to achieve anything in 2003
34 Michael Pittman, TB Sharing time with short yardage TD expert Alstott equals a mediocre year at best
35 Troy Hambrick, DAL Hambrick could be the steal of many drafts as he finally gets his chance at #1
36 James Stewart, DET It's hard to get excited about the Lions and Stewart in the West Coast offense
37 Anthony Thomas, CHI Adrian Peterson could easily derail Thomas as the number one back in Chicago
38 Lamont Jordan, NYJ As long as Martin is around, Jordan is relinquished to a backup role and 4 TD's
39 Trung Candidate, WAS The presence of Ladell Betts and Kenny Watson make Candidate a risky pick
40 Kevin Faulk, NE If Antowain Smith falters early and often, Faulk is ready to assume the #1 role
41 Larry Johnson, KC (R) Not too many rookie impacts this year, but Johnson will be one if Holmes is out
42 Moe Williams, MIN Chapman will start but Moe will get the goal-line TD's and could eventually start
43 Zack Crockett, OAK Crockett is the designated scorer on short scores and scored 9 TD's for Oakland
44 Jerome Bettis, PIT Bettis' role with be that of a goal line back so keep that in mind when drafting him
45 Emmitt Smith, ARI Emmitt may start #1, but it's only a matter of time before Marcel takes the Shipp
46 Lamar Gordon, STL If Faulk goes down, look for Gordon to become an immediate impact player
47 Ladell Betts, WAS Keep an eye on the situation with Candidate because if he falters, Betts will rise
48 Dominic Rhodes, IND If James goes down to another injury, you'll want Rhodes there for insurance
49 Olandis Gary, BUF Gary would replace Henry in the event of injury so grab him if you have Henry
50 Mike Anderson, DEN Anderson is Denver's fullback but an injury to Portis and he could be #1 again
51 DeShaun Foster, CAR S. Davis puts a damper on an otherwise promising second season for Foster
52 Jonathon Wells, HOU Wells will back up Stacey Mack but it'll probably take an injury to get the start
53 Tony Richardson, KC Richardson will battle rookie Johnson should Holmes not recover from his injury
54 Jamal White, CLE White's production was cut by William Green and no reason to think otherwise
55 Robert Holcombe, TEN George would have to go down to injury which hasn't happened too often
56 Tyrone Wheatley, OAK Not enough carries to go around in Oakland but take Wheatley to backup Garner
57 Jesse Chatman, SD (R) This rookie will be backing up Ladainian so grab him in case something happens
58 Shawn Bryson, DET If Stewart goes down, Bryson would get the call but he still plays for Detroit
59 Maurice Morris, SEA Morris will back up Alexander and should be taken to limit the risk of an injury
60 Ron Dayne, NYG Dayne's days may be numbered with the Barber and the signing of Levens
