JOSEPH ADDAI Colts
He's the first NFL back to rush for 1,000 yards in a season without starting a single game.

TRAVIS HENRY Broncos
The free agent parlayed a comeback season with the Titans into a plum job running behind Denver's heralded line.

LAURENCE MARONEY Patriots
Expect him to pick up most of the departed Corey Dillon's 50 yards per game.

AHMAN GREEN Texans

LARRY JOHNSON Chiefs
A weak passing game means foes will stack the line against this former top fantasy pick.

CLINTON PORTIS Redskins
The man of a thousand personas will have a hard time gaining 1,000 yards while splitting time with Ladell Betts.

LAMONT JORDAN Raiders
Dominic Rhodes's four-game suspension gives Jordan a shot to reestablish himself as a full-time player after a poor '06.
