UPDATED AUG. 9
-- LeSean McCoy has to fall down this list given the tenuous state of his NFL future. He's now in my low-end RB2 range until we know/hear more.
-- Yes, I still like Lamar Miller more than most. He was actually quite productive last season with Deshaun Watson, and I still don't see a better option on Houston's roster for as long as D'Onta Foreman is on the mend.
-- Sony Michel's knee ailment does scare me. I've demoted him six spots to No. 32.
-- The more I read, the more I don't want anything to do with the Colts' backfield this season. That's probably going to be a headache-inducing situation. I've dropped Marlon Mack seven spots and have included rookie Jordan Wilkins.
-- I've moved Dion Lewis up 14 spots because it sounds like he is going to have a bigger role than I initially imagined.
-- Other players moved down slightly:
Derrick Henry
Jerick McKinnon
Alex Collins
Carlos Hyde
C.J. Anderson
-- Other players moved up slightly:
Kenyan Drake
Ronald Jones
Ty Montgomery
Nick Chubb
