Starting Running Backs Most Likely To Get Injured? - Page 2

SeeingRed · 06-12-2015, 09:47 AM

Who are the starting RBs most likely to get injured? I would say McCoy is not built to be a workhorse back and drafting Fred Jackson late makes sense...any other backs who will likely go down and have a quality back up ready to step in? Thoughts?

I really like the way Leveon Bell runs but isn't he suspended for a few games? Coming off an injury only to be suspended he is not a sure fire bet either.

Paying particular attention to who is lighting it up during pre-season and the final depth chart at the end is key to getting a real steal on a back up RB to a premier starter. Can't tell you how many times this has helped me .

Whatever RB I draft in the 1st round of my FFL. Once that happens ill put it here so you all will know.

Charles should always be the name on this list.

He's really no more injury prone than the next back.

Marshawn Lynch, Lesean McCoy, Adrian Peterson, Leveon Bell.. They've all missed games.

Aside from two ACL tears, which can happen to anyone, Jamaal's been pretty durable.

He had an ankle or something that slowed him up early last year but he is only good back with two ACL tears in the past few years.

Yeah, he had a high ankle sprain that should have kept him out for 4-6 weeks. He came back after missing 1 game and scored 3 TDs.

Besides that and these two ACLs he hasn't missed any time. And the ACLs are just kinda fluke shit, IMO.

That's why I say the people that call him injury prone are reaching.

Arian Foster is ALWAYS missing time for dumb little nagging injuries. A groin here, an ankle there.

Lesean McCoy has missed two straight games for some baby shit.

Marshawn Lynch has missed a couple games this year and had a nagging knee injury last season.

Adrian Peterson shredded every ligament in his knee and prior to that missed several games due to less serious injuries.

If you're a running back, you're going to miss time. Especially with this new CBA. I'd say gone are the days of seeing RBs take 350 carries for 12 straight seasons and not miss time.
