Who will be your starter. Has 1 guy stood out over the rest. If you were making a fantasy football pick would you draft one of your guys as the 3rd back on your list. Meaning you think he can reach close to 1000 yds 10+ TDs.

Mizzou it seems its between Murphy and Hansbrough. Tamu carsen? Trey Williams, and Brandon Williams.

Tra Carson is the RB that I think will break 1000 yards.

I think Trey Williams and Tra Carson well get 70-80% of the carries. No idea how it will split between them. Even though we are loaded with talent at RB I would put them at the bottom of your board.

As for Mizzou I would not be quick to take a back as a fantasy option. Hansbrough & Murphy are very similar stat wise about 6.0 per rush and 600 yards last year but no idea who will get the goal line carries. Plus Mizzou will I am sure split the carries again this year adding Morgan Steward in as the 3rd back. As for the #1 Receiver after DGWeed it is a dead heat between Bud Sasser, Jimmie Hunt and Darius White. If I had to choose one of the receivers I would choose Hunt. Freshman Nate Brown has a huge upside as well.

Why doesn't OP just come out and say he is playing college fantasy and needs to know who these two fanbases would select on his roster?

Neither one will get huge numbers. Morgan Steward will be the third back and Mizzou will continue to do it the way they always have. All 3 will share carries relatively evenly. If there is any separation in touches, it will probably be Hansbrough then Murphy then Steward. I personally think Murphy has the opportunity to be more electrifying but Hansbrough is probably more rugged and consistent and holds onto the ball better.

With the losses at WR, it wouldn't surprise me at all in our OC Henson tries to expand the roles of RBs in the passing game this year. So if you're in a PPR league, there might be some hidden upside in Mizzou backs over last year. Pure speculation on my part.

I think that Carson will get the bulk of the carries based on his size and durability. Trey Williams, while more explosive and a bigger threat to take it to the house, just doesn't ha e the frame for 20+ carrier per game. I also expect a lot of Trey's yards to go in the "receiving yards" category, even if he catches the ball at or behind the line of scrimmage.

Carson is our most well rounded back. Trey Williams will have a big role though. I could see James White being important by the end of the year, he's a do it all back along the lines of Malena I think and really impressed in the spring

Not sure how Brandon Williams will fit in but he's explosive

I would take Williams of all those guys. Probably will get the most carries because 1) A&M has only 2 rb to split whereas Mizzou has (possibly) 3, and because Mizzou will probably pass more due to returning a qb who played significant time whereas A&M might run more
