Starting Running Backs Most Likely To Get Injured?

[SeeingRed]

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.

Herron is back up there?

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

McFadden IS the list.

Even with the best O-line in football !! He is softer than a roll of Charmin.

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 .
