DeMarco Murray or Jeremy Hill

OK. I caught some flack for my RB rankings in the top 10 post. Specifically, I left out Murray and added Gore. You might be able to talk me into that, but I am sticking with Gore. However, Jeremy Hill was well within my top 10 and he was a guy called out as a player to remove. I'd be curious to hear what you think is the case for Murray I see Hill as an elite option. His rookie numbers compare to only Clinton Portis and Adrian Peterson as rookies. those guys were awesome in their second seasons. Gio is just a change of pace guy. With A.J. Green back, Hill is going to have a lot more room to run. Murray has been abuse unlike any RB in recent history, but there is a long list of RBs that break down after that kind of workload. Reference: http://www.footballdocs.com/running_back_carries.html That kind of injury risk makes him not worth the early pick in my books. And yes ... I won't be surprised if even the indestructible Frank Gore outproduces Murray in 2015.

Not sure if you're referring to me as the guy who called out Hill but what I said is he's not top 5. He's definitely top 10. I'm keeping him in my money league this season.

As for ranking Gore ahead of Murray ... eh, I don't know, Murray may get more touches. I'm still big on Frank though, I'll miss him

PPR - Murray
Non PPR Hill

I think Murray is going to catch a lot of balls in Philly and Hill will lose 3rd down catches to Bernard.

Hill. Believe it or not, I think if healthy, Hill will lead the NFL in rushing this season.

I don't doubt he will have a good year, but #1 is a bit of a stretch
