Running Back (RB) Rankings Analysis
By Edward Gorelik (@EdwardGorelik)
Ameer Abdullah sees the highest boost for me in PPR because he'll be immediately thrust into the Reggie Bush role for the Lions.
I still believe he'll be able to take over full-time by the end of the season as long as he can keep his fumbles under control, but even without that happening his floor on an offense that's going to be able to give him tons of underneath space to catch and run should be very high.
