1. Peterson
2. Portis
3. Jackson
4. Tomlinson
5. Marion Barber

Rookies who could make the list soon: Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Jonathan Stewart, and Steve Slaton*

*I included 4 rookies because I think that Portis, Tomlinson and Jackson are/will soon be past the point of being "really productive."

I think Addai is probably slighted on this list as well, but he had a down year last year and he just didn't make the cut. Also, I think that Marion Barber could easily be removed for any number of other backs, but I like the way the runs, so he made my list.

Also, I feel that Peterson isn't in first place going away. He's poor in pass protections AND he had 9 fumbles last season. The same sort of case can be made against Portis for fading in the 2nd half last year, but whatever, this is my list.
