Here's a look at the top 20 leaders for receptions at the RB postion from 2010 for PPR reference...

1. (14th overall) LeSean McCocy, PHI - 78 receptions
2. (30th) Arian Foster, HOU - 66 receptions
3. (38th) Ray Rice, BAL - 63 receptions
4. (39th) Peyton Hillis, CLE - 61 receptions
5. (44th) Darren Sproles, SD - 59 receptions
6. (47th) Jahvid Best, DET - 58 receptions
7. (56th) LaDainian Tomlinson, NYJ - 52 receptions
8. (60th) Matt Forte, CHI - 51 receptions
9. (68th) Felix Jones, DAL - 48 receptions
10. (71st) Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG - 47 receptions
11. (71st) Darren McFadden, OAK - 47 receptions
12. (77th) Frank Gore, SF - 46 receptions
13. (77th) Steven Jackson, STL - 46 receptions
14. (77th) Cadillac Williams, TB - 46 receptions
15. (82nd) Jamaal Charles, KC - 45 receptions
16. (87th) Chris Johnson, TEN - 44 receptions
17. (87th) Jason Snelling, ATL - 44 receptions
18. (106th) Mike Goodson, CAR - 41 receptions
19. (110th) Keiland Williams, WAS - 39 receptions
20. (114th) Knowshon Moreno, DEN - 37 receptions

FINAL TAKE: There's no doubt that players like McCoy, Foster, Rice, Hillis, Best and Forte all see a slight spike in their already solid fantasy value in leagues where owners get points per reception. Seeing Adrian Peterson's name not on the list makes it tough for us to put him at the No. 1 spot in PPR formats, a spot where he can easily be argued at in standard formats. Situations change every year, so finding backs that have a track record of catching the ball out of the backfield is better than going off of just one season of stats. Still don't disregard the value of guys that consistently pull in 40 catches per year.
