Background:

Background: Each week the top Running backs will go against each other in this market. This market is just comparing these 10 running backs. If there is a tie, the market will be settled and then resettled so both running back options win. Since it is week 1 I will be trying out different types of markets to see what is popular and what is not.

Settlement details:As reported by NFL.com

Just a minor point, but in the spirit of egalitarianism, shouldn't there at least be a none of the above option.

Great question! But in the future, could you add the opposing team for each option as well? LT-Chargers vs. Carolina, or something like that.

wheres ronny brown? he had the most yards hands down before he went out with an injury last year.

I left Ronny Brown off cause there seems some conflicting reports about how big of a role ricky williams will play. Each week we can change some of the running backs. I chose this list because they were top 10 RB taken in my fantasy draft.

Going into the Monday night game the current leader is Tomlinson with 97 yards. It will be him or Peterson that wins.
