| 1 | Adrian Peterson | MIN | show |
[Jun 13th] Maurile Tremblay says: Peterson enters the season fully healthy this year. Defenses should be very afraid. I think he's about even money to gain 2,000 yards from scrimmage.

| 2 | Doug Martin | TB | show |
[Jun 7th] Maurile Tremblay says: Given the number of touches he should get, he's the kind of very safe pick that you want in the first half of the first round.

| 3 | Arian Foster | HOU | |
| 4 | Trent Richardson | CLE | show |
[Jun 13th] Maurile Tremblay says: After all the nagging injuries that Richardson played through last season, I am not going to downgrade him based on an offseason shin bruise. Norv Turner will get the most out of Richardson.

| 6 | Jamaal Charles | KC | |
| 7 | C.J. Spiller | BUF | |
| 8 | LeSean McCoy | PHI | show |
[Jun 7th] Maurile Tremblay says: I'm skeptical that Michael Vick will win and hold onto the starting QB job, but if he does, I expect McCoy to benefit from a higher run-pass ratio than we'd see with Nick Foles (or Matt Barkley) at quarterback. Depending on how Vick looks during training camp, I could end up moving LeSean McCoy substantially higher in my rankings.

| 10 | Darren Sproles | NO | |
| 11 | Matt Forte | CHI | |
| 12 | Marshawn Lynch | SEA | |
| 13 | Darren McFadden | OAK | show |
[Jun 13th] Maurile Tremblay says: McFadden struggled behind the Raiders' zone-blocking scheme last year, and he's struggled with injuries his whole career. The Raiders are ditching the zone blocking this year, and McFadden will enter the season healthy. When he is at his best, he has top-five fantasy potential. He is a boom-or-bust pick, but the potential payoff more than justifies his current average draft position.

| 32 | Daryl Richardson | STL | show |
[Jun 13th] Maurile Tremblay says: I'm not on the Zac Stacy bandwagon to the same extent that many others are, and Richardson's performance last season was too impressive to ignore. The Rams will get Richardson enough touches to make him a viable flex candidate.

[Jun 12th] Maurile Tremblay says: I like Bradshaw better than Vick Ballard, but I see this as a committee.

[Jun 12th] Maurile Tremblay says: The Ahmad Bradshaw signing severely limits Ballard's fantasy value.

| 45 | Ben Tate | HOU | show |
[Jun 13th] Maurile Tremblay says: How often will fantasy owners start Ben Tate if Arian Foster is healthy. Not often, in my opinion. Tate has significant fantasy value only if Foster is injured, and his current average draft position is therefore too high.
