FANTASY FOOTBALL UPDATED RUNNING BACK RANKINGS: ZAC STACY MOVING UP QUICK

Once again it is time to update the 2013 fantasy football running back rankings,.  With that said let's take a look at where everyone currently resides.

1.  Matt Forte:  No one has been better on both sides of the football than Forte.
2.  Jamaal Charles:  Fallen behind Forte with a few quiet games the last two weeks.
3.  Marshawn Lynch:  Beast Mode continues with his uncanny power running/touchdown-heavy ways.
4.  Adrian Peterson:  Huge game against Dallas could be sign of another huge second half outburst.
5.  Knowshon Moreno:  So this is what Moreno looks like when he is finally healthy.  Very nice indeed.
6.  Eddie Lacy:  Lacy's rapid rise up the rankings continues as he has been the best pure runner over the last month.
7.  Frank Gore:  Still going strong after turning 30.
8.  Zac Stacy:  Wow has this kid taken off.  Running has been Lynch-like and Stacy also showing surprising pass-receiving game.
9. LeSean McCoy:  Dropping due to utter lack of any kind of numbers the last month or so.
10. Alfred Morris:  Touchdowns down as Mike Shanahan playing around with backups in the red zone but Morris has been real good running the ball since the middle of October.
11. Arian Foster:  Started to head south due to more leg injuries.  All those carries the last few seasons could be showing itself.
12. Stevan Ridley:  Has really picked up his game since the beginning of October and just in time for the return of Shane Vereen.
13. Reggie Bush:  A bit too up and down at times but that has been Bush in his career.
14. Giovani Bernard:  It took a bit longer than expected but Bernard is now unleashing his big play game.
15. Chris Johnson:  The fact the sketchy Johnson is ranked this high shows you how badly the running game has been this season.
16. Ryan Matthews:  Same story here as Matthews throws in the odd good game among more than a few ugly ones.
17. Ray Rice:  Rice has been absolutely disgraceful this season amid questions he has lost a step.  The evidence is alarming.
18. Darren Sproles:  Once again a huge PPR dynamo but concussion clouds things.
19. Fred Jackson:  Collecting touchdowns at a nice clip but C.J. Spiller coming on now.
20. DeMarco Murray:  Just is impossible to depend on despite talent.
21. Darren McFadden:  Same deal here as above.
22. Chris Ivory:  Now has claimed the starting job over the fading Bilal Powell.
23. Maurice Jones-Drew:  Like with Ray Rice, looks washed up.
24. Steven Jackson:  Throw Jackson into the above grouping as well.
25. C.J. Spiller:  It took half the season for Spiller to have the kind of game we thought he would supply from Week 1.
26. Trent Richardson:  Been simply awful since coming to the Colts.  Nothing else to say. 
27. Mike James:  Nice game against Seattle.   Let's see more of this. 
28. Pierre Thomas:  Just doesn't do enough of one thing to depend on every week.
29. Le'Veon Bell:  Not impressed yet.
30. Andre Ellington:  Need to see the big-play scatback get more work before we move him up.
31. DeAngelo Williams:  Return of Jonathan Stewart bad news.
32. Andre Brown:  Returns from leg injury and has chance to be nice TD guy rest of way.
33. Lamar Miller:  Yuck. 
34. Willis McGahee"  Should of stay retired. 
35. Peyton Hillis:  Can still catch footballs at least.

There you have it.  Let's hear your opinions on these rankings.  Post below.
