    I have them ranked in this order.....Portis, Jacobs, Barber, and Westbrook

    POrtis is a complete stud and Campbell is so inconsistent, they live and die by running the rock

    Jacobs will have his carries increased this season plus he's the feature goalline back

    Barber will also have all goal line carries, despite F. Jones returning...

    Westbrook is coming off a surgery and it has been noted that the Eagles will decrease his workload this season..They drafted a young RB McCoy that will help their RB duties...Carries will be shared..

    Portis: He is the Redskins, the Redskins live and die by Portis, so he gets the bulk of the carries, has been durable, and puts up consistent numbers(borderline HOF numbers), and is probably the best pass/blitz blocking RB in the league.

    Westbrook: Has a rookie as a backup(McCoy) so he will still be the featured back and is the best receiving back in the division.

    Brandon Jacobs: Huge, the size of some linebackers, thus makes him a dangerous threat in the red zone, while also being a valuable short yardage back.

    Marian Barber: Has to share the load with two other solid running backs(Felix Jone, Tashard Choice) but runs relentlessly and is the primary red zone threat of the three RB's in Dallas.
