Starting Running Backs Most Likely To Get Injured?

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?

Last year was the first year that Demarco Murray has ever played in all 16 games. He is also coming off a season where he had 400+ touches...

Ryan Matthews could have a good year in Philly, but like Murray he has only played in all 16 games once in his career.

I go with Murray.

He might have played all 16 games last year but that was only due to playing with a broken hand that most HB's would have sat with...

Makes sense but the back up is equally as injury prone.....also im thinking David Johnson is a sneaky pick up behind Andre Ellington

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06-14-2015, 07:21 PM

McFadden IS the list.

what about Andre Ellington? David Johnson could be a sneaky pick up

I feel like every RB gets hurt at some point. Are you asking for guys that are likely to miss extensive amounts of time or just anyone with a backup that might be worth taking a flyer on?

Demarco Murray has an injury history and had a shit ton of touches last season. Matthews and Sproles will steal carries from him anyway, though.

Lesean McCoy's had an insane amount of carries over the past few seasons. He hasn't had much trouble with injury in the past but he's not a big guy. I wouldn't be shocked if it catches up with him this year.

Darren McFadden and Arian Foster are both all but guaranteed to miss a handful of games.

Lynch is getting old as dirt with a ton of hard miles.

CJ Anderson because Denver players are pussies.

Jaymaal because he's getting old.

its crazy how "old" is considered late 20s for RBs. I don't even think McFadden will start in Dallas. Foster/Blue handcuff could be a good one
