in the NFL Sports bets, the running back is one of the most important players to think about. As we see it, here are the top five running backs, in ranked order, heading into the 2006 fantasy football season.

1. Shaun Alexander (Seattle) – Sure, you might hear some people make a strong case for Larry Johnson as the No. 1 pick, but the numbers don’t lie. 1,958 combined yards from scrimmage. A league record 27 rushing touchdowns, and perhaps more importantly, 23+ rushing attempts per game. At 28, these numbers have been building up to this point in his career, and we see no reason for him to slow down in 2006.

2. Larry Johnson (Kansas City) – After patiently waiting behind Priest Holmes for two seasons, LJ burst onto the scene last season with 2,093 combined yards and 21 total touchdowns. At 26, he may actually be better than Alexander, but the retirement of 11-time Pro Bowl tackle Willie Roaf and the Chief’s renewed commitment to the passing game at least makes us wonder if the numbers can drop a bit. little bit.

3. Ladanian Tomlinson (San Diego) – The number one in 2005 only falls slightly this year due to the superhuman stats of Alexander and Johnson last season. Is there anyone who doesn’t think Tomlinson gets 1,500 yards and 20 TDs just for showing up every week? It should be noted that he also threw 3 TDs last year.

4. Edgerrin James (Arizona) – New team. new grass. Without Peyton Manning. A fast receiving corps that will keep defenses honest. If he stays healthy, and two years after his knee injury, there’s no reason to think he shouldn’t, James has the potential to put up numbers this season he previously only dreamed of.

5. Tiki Barber (New York Giants) – Barber fans have expressed frustration that Barber has teamed up with a running back (Ron Dayne) who gets more carries at the goal line, but Tiki has the potential to break a long one on any play. Plus, 2,390 all-purpose yards is nothing to sneeze at. Oh yeah, did we mention Dayne is no longer there? Barber belongs to the upper echelon of runners in 2006.

So there you have it, the top 5 bookmakers in the NFL that anyone serious about sports betting should consider before placing any bets. These are the back parties that can make or break a game.
