I'm starting to think that RB are too overvalued. Proto won last year and I can't ever remember any of his RB. Willy Parker was one of them I think. Also, despite no championship, Romeo was clearly the top team almost all season long and he played two RB from the same team, one of which he picked up mid season.
I've done well in the past starting guys like Moe Williams and TJ Duckett at RB. Of course, that year I won I had Edge and Tiki Barber, and you can't really argue that they made that season for me, but last year I went with RB in the first and second and didn't make the playoffs (though that may have been because I just plain suck).
Eli is still a Manning and I wouldn't mind having him as my backup QB.
