Here's the dumb list (http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/story/5495694)

As a charter member of the Samkon Gado fanclub I call BS on this list. Talk about no respect! They got him rated as the 58th back in the league, between Eric Shelton and Greg Jones. There are at least four draftees, with zero carries, rated ahead of him.

The first 7 are roughly right, if debatable. Personally, I'd take LT over Johnson or Alexander, but it could be argued either way.

But - how does R. Brown rate #8? And speaking only of GB backs, if Davenport should be rated above Gado, I'll eat my shorts.

How can Tatum Bell Be 13, i thought they weren't even sure he would be the starter.

This list was for Fantasy Football purposes. Because nobody really knows who will emerge as the Packer's starting running back, it goes to reason that none of the Packer backs would be rated very highly. Therefore, an average back like Detroit's Kevin Jones rates higher than any of the Packer backs simply because Jones is clearly the starter. Gado could be a great "sleeper" pick in fantasy football if he doesn't blow his cover with a great pre-season.

Got that, and that's also why Brown is rated so high - Williams is out of town, so no more sharing.

BUT Gado has a chance to get some serious carries in GB. Davenport? Nyet.

Alstott is the worst? That's a little harsh. And how can Green be ahead of Gado after poor season and serious injury?
