Kevin Smith and he doesn't even have a replacement on the team yet.

With so many RBBC's how about ranking each team w/in their division?
AFC East
1. Brown/Williams (If they are shopping Ronnie there must be a reason)
2. Greene/Tomlinson (Is that a chip I see on LT's shoulder?)
3. Jackson/Lynch (I don't see Freddie as being entrenched as the starter yet)
4. Maroney/Morris (if they pick up a RB this gets bumped up)
AFC North
1. Harrison/Davis (Not a Davis fan but remaining skeptical about Harrison)
2. Mendenhall/Moore (Only if Mendy fumbles himself out of the starting role is this an issue)
3. Rice/McGahee (This is Rice's to hold but McG will be ready if called upon)
4. Benson/Scott (If Benson holds up he remains entrenched as the undisputed starter)
AFC South
1. Slaton/Brown (Will Slaton be able to rebound? Someone new may be brought in if not)
2. Addai/Brown (Is Donnie the heir yet? Not this year barring injury)
3. J-Drew/Jennings (Jennings may see some spot action but definitely not a threat to start)
4. Johnson/White (May take an amputation of a foot for anyone to steal carries from Chris)
AFC West
1. Sproles/Hester (I would expect someone to be brought in to help)
2. Charles/Jones (I could see Jones carrying 50+% of the time to protect Charles)
3. McFadden/Bush (Bush has been to productive to not share time)
4. Moreno/Buckhalter (Bucky did well but he is past the age where you can expect him to carry the load)
NFC East
1. Portis/Johnson/Parker (3 headed option that may have the starter changing on a weekly basis)
2. Barber/Jones (More of the same to be expected)
3. Jacobs/Bradshaw (time split based on who is healthy each week?)
4. McCoy/Bell (It is time for Westies replacement to shine)
NFC North
1. Smith/Morris (coming off injury and has not lived up to his hype Smith needs a complimentary back - Morris probably isn't going to be it though)
2. Forte/Taylor (Forte will be given every opportunity but Taylor does give him a short leash)
3. Grant/Jackson (Not a Grant fan but Jackson has done nothing)
4. Peterson/? (I don't even know who they currently have backing him up)
NFC South
1. Williams/Ward (neither have separated themselves... yet from the others on the roster)
2. Thomas/Bush (Expect more of the same as last year)
3. Williams/Stewart (Ditto with Carolina only Stewart healthy for the entire season)
4. Turner/Norwood (I would expect more of an aerial attack than a disbursement of what carries there are to anyone other than Turner)
NFC West
1. Forsett/Jones (Not convinced Forsett is able to carry the load but not sure Jones will be the primary challenge by the time the season starts)
2. Wells/Hightower (May be a close % of the carries if both are healthy)
3. Gore/Coffee (No controversy here)
4. Jackson/? (Is there another viable option on the roster?)

1. Brown/Williams (If they are shopping Ronnie there must be a reason)

rotoworld,
Restricted free agent Jerome Harrison has been showing up to recent Browns OTAs despite having not yet signed his tender.
It's a smart move for Harrison with rookie Montario Hardesty breathing down his neck and plenty capable of winning the starting job. Despite a lights-out finish to the '09 season, Harrison will be a committee back in 2010. His chances of taking the lead back/starting role, however, will increase with reps.
