A pretty good amount of respect in these rankings.

I like that spot for Russ, behind Brady and Rodgers, but ahead of Brees. If we want to get really greedy, the durability argument could be made against Rodgers, but for now, I think this is fair. May be worth revisiting depending on what happens in the postseason though.

The fourth spot is fine for Marshawn, but I'm not sure I agree with much of that list. ADP and McCoy are a clear top 2, but I really don't like Gore at #3. I guess it depends on what you value, and I think Gore deserves to be lauded for his incredible longevity, but I like the high-end seasons of Lynch, Charles, and Foster over Gore's steady decade. Matter of preference I guess.

3. Russell Wilson. A Super Bowl champion in only his second season, Wilson has become one of the most dangerous quarterbacks, with his underrated passing skills and uncanny mobility. The highest-paid player in league history, the Seahawks wisely have built the team around a guy who is destined to be one of the Top 10 quarterbacks of the next decade, too.

4. Marshawn Lynch: Lynch is back with the Seahawks just in time to close out the decade in style. He has 7,778 rushing yards and 67 rushing touchdowns this decade and another 1,551 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 194 receptions. Lynch was at his best in the postseason, too, with 937 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games this decade. He earned four Pro Bowl berths and was voted All-Pro in 2012 when he rushed for a career-best 1,590 yards.
