2005 Top Fantasy Performers - Running Backs

The Definitive Standings

Stats that reflect a player's season totals are often misleading. A couple of great games can hide the down weeks that can kill a fantasy season or playoff drive.  

Conversely, a string of missed games due to injury can often artificially lower a player's season totals, hiding a true producer.

The weekly scoring totals lays it all out on the table.  

We use the Freaks' standard scoring system and all of the scoring totals are rounded to the nearest whole number. 

So study hard, and come next fantasy draft you'll have the best stocked roster in your league.
