Erik Karabell of ESPN.com featured a segment on Fantasy running backs they believe will break out in 2015.  Do you agree with their selections below?  All salaries found at Star Fantasy Leagues.

Carlos Hyde (San Francisco Giants) – Salary $5.3K - "I think it’s a given Hyde will be at least a RB2"

Joseph Randall (Dallas Cowboys) – Salary $5.9K – “It’s a great opportunity in an elite offense with arguably the best offensive line. I could see Randle outperforming DeMarco Murray,  his teammate from last season.”

Tre Mason (St. Louis Rams) – Salary $5K - "I think (Todd) Gurley doesn’t play until October, and even that might be too soon. If Mason has a great September, who knows?"

Montee Ball (Denver Broncos) – Salary $3.9K - “Hello again! Ball has gone from top-10 running back pick -- it’s true -- to way, way off the radar, and it didn’t take long. First, Knowshon Moreno was better. Then Ball was hurt and C.J. Anderson (and Ronnie Hillman) were better. I don’t think Anderson loses the role, but eventually, in some season, Ball will explode. For this season, he’s a legit handcuff, as is Hillman, in theory.

Jonas Gray (New England Patriots) – Salary $3.4K – “He rushed for 201 yards and four scores one week and barely got used again. Well, he’s getting used in Week 1 with (LeGarrette) Blount serving a suspension."
