No rules... Doesn't have to be Top "10" or "20"... I personally am just going to give rankings until I feel the "guessing"  is outweighing the "work"  in my guesswork! Feel free to post yours... as well as questions and comments...
Here are mine (by the way, I don't do ADP; no spreadsheets; just 21 years of experience AND PURE GUT); I am using your generic, run-of-the-mill combinational system as a guide:
Top Tier
1. Adrian Peterson - Vikings 
2. Matt Forte - Bears 
3. Maurice Jones-Drew - Jaguars 
Second Tier
4. Frank Gore - 49ers 
5. Michael Turner - Falcons 
6. Ryan Grant - Packers 
7. Steve Slaton - Texans 
8. DeAngelo Williams - Panthers 
Third Tier
9. Ronnie Brown - Dolphins 
10. Clinton Portis - Redskins 
11. Steven Jackson - Rams 
12. Brian Westbrook - Eagles 
13. Thomas Jones - Jets 
14. Chris Johnson - Titans 
15. Pierre Thomas - Saints 
Fourth Tier
16. Larry Johnson - Chiefs 
17. Kevin Smith - Lions 
18. Willie Parker - Steelers 
19. LaDainian Tomlinson - Chargers 
21. Brandon Jacobs - Giants 
22. Cedric Benson - Bengals 
23. Joseph Addai - Colts 
24. Julius Jones - Seahawks 
25. Marion Barber - Cowboys 
Fifth Tier
26. Darren McFadden - Raiders 
27. LenDale White - Titans
28. Marshawn Lynch - Bills 
29. Derrick Ward - Buccaneers 
30. Jonathan Stewart - Panthers
31. Reggie Bush - Saints
32. Jamal Lewis - Browns 
33. Fred Jackson - Bills
34. Willis McGahee - Ravens 
Sixth Tier
35. Knowshon Moreno - Broncos 
36. Felix Jones - Cowboys
37. Fred Taylor - Patriots 
38. Sammy Morris - Patriots
39. Ray Rice - Ravens
40. Earnest Graham - Buccaneers
41. Chris Wells - Cardinals 
[I just can't makes heads or tails of the rest. With all the RBBC's nowadays, the list gets extended, BUT I kind of feel like I pushed this guesswork out a bit farther than where my work clearly outweighed my guessing. Players like, say, LeSean McCoy or Jamaal Charles, I really don't have a good bead on where to rank 'em. They'd probably be at the start of the next tier, but that is sheerly, respectively because of Westbrook's present injury status and the regime change in KC. Take Darren Sproles... Who really knows?  ]
So, whatchyas think? And, how about yours?
Also, here is a link to the previously posted "Top Fantasy Quarterbacks" thread: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;a ction=display;num=1249605728.
Receiver rankings, with tight-ends included, to come...
