Arian Foster and Chris Johnson and the top 13 RB's: To Handcuff or Not?

Handcuffing Arian Foster and Chris Johnson, but at what cost?

If you are in a draft and get Foster or Johnson in the first round, then once you have filled out all of your starters, then you should look to add Tate or Ringer as insurance.

That pretty much goes for just about any first or second round RB.

Here are the top 13 RB's and their cuff buddies, in not particular order:

	Ray Rice		Ricky Williams
	Arian Foster		Ben Tate
	Jamaal Charles		Thomas Jones
	Adrian L. Peterson		Toby Gerhardt
	Chris D. Johnson		Javon Ringer
	Frank Gore		Kendall Hunter
	Darren McFadden		Michael Bush
	Steven Jackson		Cadillac Williams
	Rashard Mendenhall		Mewelde Moore
	Maurice Jones-Drew		Rashad Jennings
	Peyton Hillis		Montario Hardesty
	LeSean McCoy		Ronnie Brown
	Matt Forte		Marion Barber
