I have Green as basically a rotating flex player in 1 rb 2 wr 1 flex league. Someone drafted Dayne. Even if he were on the wire I don't think I'd grab him. Maybe as the season wore on as insurance, but not to start the season.

no, but i've considered picking him up few times... he wasn't drafted in any league i'm in, so i'm not sure you have to make that decision yet... wait and see... ps: i have a soft spot in my heart for him... he won me $600 last year in a CBS league... Kevin Jones went down and I needed a RB2... I reluctantly picked up Dayne because he was the only FA starting who was out there... HE WON ME MY CHAMPIONSHIP AND WAS THE FANTASY BOWL MVP FOR THE LEAGUE... owner i was playing was livid

Dont see a need to handcuff a RB3 at best.

Green is my RB4. Emergency starts only.

I am (was?) hopeful to trade Washington to the TJ owner to get Dayne from him based on Daynes preseason performances ( as reported) and TJ's lingering injury for some better WR talent.
In my high performace, high money league, we start (2,3,3,TE=WR,1,1) and with this as my RB's drafted (4th pick in 10 team 20 rounds): Frank Gore, Ronnie Brown, Fred Taylor, Ahman Green, Leon Washington, Adrian Peterson (Chi), Kenny Watson and Jesse Chatman (Chatman was a FA pick...ALREADY!), I feel the urge to have my projected full time starters handcuffs if at all possible. BTW, the entire pool of NFL players if FCFS around the clock.
Without watching a single Texans down, I feel extremely vulnerable with all the Brown/Chatman speculation and would be willing to give up something for Dayne! Our league is notorious for drafting RB's deep and holding a high trade value for them.
Here is my roster today (INPO):
Tom Brady
Ben Roethlisberger
Alex Smith
Frank Gore
Ronnie Brown
Fred Taylor
Ahman Green
Leon Washington
Jesse Chatman
Kenny Watson
Adrian Peterson (CHI)
Roy Williams
Antonio Gates
Chris Chambers
Isaac Bruce
James Jones
Patrick Crayton
Dwayne Jarrett
Shayne Graham
New England Patriots

I own green and cut dayne to make my roster limits. I figure Green is a talented/experienced runner and if he went down the rest of the group would be mediocore at best. I actually think Gado will pass Dayne on the Depth Chart soon.

I'm not sure I agree with that. If you assume that Green is going to be around RB30, there are several combo backfields in recent years where the second back would be a better pick. Think of McAllister/Bush and Jones/Barber last year.

Do you pick up Jerome Harrison to back up Jamal Lewis or Michael Pittman to back up Caddy?
Who carries 3 handcuffs for RB's 1-3?
Green is a very low end RB2 and most likely an RB3. Do you always handcuff this far down the line?
Unless you roster size is ridiculous, then I'd guess no.

green is my rb2 along with LT and jjones.i have LT handcuff....and green with his injury history feel i should handcuff him too since i think dayne would be the primary carrier.just curious if anyone else felt the same.Do you pick up Jerome Harrison to back up Jamal Lewis or Michael Pittman to back up Caddy?Who carries 3 handcuffs for RB's 1-3?Green is a very low end RB2 and most likely an RB3.

I actually think Dayne will start before week 5 or 6 , Green will go down for sure ( As usual ).

Bipppp wrong answer.You cant compare Harrison or Pitman with Dayne .Dayne started last season like 6 or 7 games and played probably better then Green will this season , if Green goes down ( Believe me he will it s a matter of weeks as usual ) Dayne will be a good RB 3.

I expected responses similar to this and hoped I had stressed enough the RB importance in my league and not that I was anywhere near a Dayne fan. I drafted Green as the 27th RB taken...IN THE 4TH ROUND! Maybe I was on the tail end of a RB run, but I couldn't leave a "full time" RB sitting there while a lot of part time RB's were already gone. FYI, there were 74 RB's drafted over all, so drafting depth is the key to success in this league. Dayne may very well only be relevant in deep leagues like mine, but he does have value if only for a "plug in any warm body" to help me fill in a starting line up.

Maybe you should really look at daynes numbers last season and also try watching the games. The numbers and the play dont match trust me.Bipppp wrong answer.You cant compare Harrison or Pitman with Dayne .Dayne started last season like 6 or 7 games and played probably better then Green will this season , if Green goes down ( Believe me he will it s a matter of weeks as usual ) Dayne will be a good RB 3.

Dayne beat Lundy and Gado out last year and has been healthy all preseason and had a good camp, while those guys have been injured. He is the clear number two to a guy who is getting old and coming off several injury filled years. He also did well last year when he started. Why wouldn't you handcuff him with a late pick? The likelihood of Green playing the full season is very small based upon recent, past performance.Maybe you should really look at daynes numbers last season and also try watching the games.

13 HOU OAK 18 95 0 2 1 5 0 10.0 [play-by-play] (Wasn't very good against the run last year)
14 HOU TEN 21 87 2 3 3 12 0 21.9 [play-by-play] (Haynesworth Suspended and wasn't very good against the run.
15 HOU NE 18 94 1 1 1 7 0 16.1 [play-by-play] I'll admit good defense
16 HOU IND 32 153 2 2 1 3 0 27.6 [play-by-play] ya might wanna check and see how many yards they were giving up at the time.
This is what everyone is goo goo about and it was 4 games not 5 or 6. we are talking about Ron FREAKIN Dayne, remember he was LenDale White before LenDale White!!!!!!

Well, that does make things a bit different. Ron Dayne is quite likely one of the 74 best RBs in fantasy football, so I guess you made a good decision.

Say what you like but they were all professional defenses and he performed well. If he hadn't performed well you would be citing those numbers.

I tell you what if Green gets hurt and i have to watch Fatman Dayne carry the load I'd just assume not watch. Dude sux and is gonna put McKinney on IR with a broken spine.

Thats weird I didn't know Dayne had 2 seasons of 1000 yards under his belt in the National Football League.

Anthony Thomas ypc last 3 seasons - 1.7, 2.2, 3.5Ron Dayne ypc last 3 seasons - 3.4, 5.1, 4.1Throw in the fact that Houston running backs always seem to put up decent stats no matter who is in there, and it's a no brainer.Thats weird I didn't know Dayne had 2 seasons of 1000 yards under his belt in the National Football League.

So, what you're saying is Ron Dayne, when given the chance to start in four CONSECUTIVE games last season, actually produced quality RB fantasy stats in all four games? Yeah, that sucks.
Where's the cheeseburger jokes in this thread? Just because the man is fat and slow doesn't mean he can't post some yardage. The Texans running offense is the poor man's Bronco offense (Gary Kubiak is their head coach mind you). This year it is including more power elements of the Packer scheme, but that should probably help Dayne - if he starts for an injured Green.Still, if Green is on a fantasy roster, it is likely as a RB3, and I'm not sure how many teams are going to want to handcuff their RB3 unless there is a really BIG bench (er...fat joke is unintended there...). :X

ANd i am sure that if Green get s seriously injured you will be the first one to pick Dayne and tell everyone it was a steal.
