Bargain Barn RB's (1 Viewer)

1. Tatum Bell (adp 7) He is gradually moving up, but I think he is going to be the man in Detroit this year. I can see Martz trying to use him just like he did Marshall Faulk with the Rams. He is not as talented as Faulk, but he does have speed. He’ll catch some passes also. He didn’t fit the one cut then stick your head down and get what you can get style in Denver. Martz offensive style fits him much better, which is exactly why they traded for him.

2. Fred Taylor (adp 7) He will at least did what he did last year, and I don’t see MJD as having such a big impact as last year. He just signed a new contract recently didn’t he? They brought him back for a reason. He would be an awesome RB3.

3. DeShaun Foster (adp 9) His head coach has showed a pension for staying with the veteran guys. There is no guarantee that Williams is the guy, just a lot of speculation. Isn’t that what they speculated last year? He could end up being a steal in the ninth round.

4. W. Dunn (adp 9) He has been moving down since news of his injury. Another great player that is always underrated. I think he is still the starter when it’s all said and done in Atlanta. Harrington will be looking for him out of the backfield a lot on pass plays. Great value in the ninth.

5. A. Thomas (adp 14) Another situation where everyone is assuming the rookie is going to be the main man. Thomas can be productive if given the chance, I could see him being the 1st and 2nd down guy in a RBBC situation. He’ll even be more productive when the the rook hits the wall late in the season.

6. Other guys to watch – Brown, A. Peterson, Pittman, J. Harrison

Rookie Watch

Booker (adp 15) Can you say Warrick Dunn junior, he’ll catch some passes and make some big plays.

Leonard – Don’t underestimate his potential as a solid backup to SJ. He can catch, block, and run. That equals some playing time.

good posting!

Fred Taylor, DeShaun Foster -

Another name that will get lost in the Adrian Peterson hype that's sure to come is Chester Taylor. I was at Vikes camp yesterday and they were throwing to the backs all day long. Both AP and Chet are going to catch a significant number of passes this year.

Sleeper - Lorenzo Booker

 

[shadyridr]

Leon Washington could easily get 60 catches this year

 

[Donny Loved Bowling]

In the rookie category - how about the potential of Dwayne Wright to play a MBIII-type role in Buffalo?

Good one!

Out of that list, I like Bell and Taylor. After 4 or so years of drafting Foster, I think we all know what he's worth by now. Dunn is done. A-Train may be #3 behind Wright.

You guys are missing the biggest one

Ahman Green while not bargain basement. a 4th rounder in PPR league will snag you a nice pass catchin back on team that has produced PPR goodness at RB.

Think RB/WR/WR/ Agreen in PPRs

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

i think the ADP of a few of these picks is gonna be off in a few weeks. Bell has been creeping steadily into the early 5th round in my mocks, and Taylor has been going in the 6th.

Totally agree with this one and the ones above. In a PPR league that starts 2 RBs, 2 WRs & a Flex, I went RB/WR/WR/RB from the #1 slot and was able to land LT/Holt/Fitz/A. Green. After grabbing McNabb in the 5th, I grabbed Chester & Fred at the 6/7 turn. Pretty solid IMO.

SHhhhhhh.....Ahman is $$$$ this year, trying to keep him under the radar

i agree with this and am wary of using adp this early since my drafts are late aug. esp. for a player like dunn who, as said above, is underrated when healthy! by the time i draft, he actually could already be back on the field. a big pre-season game can mess with adp,too. i know some people actually like early drafts because of this.

 

[Defending Champs]

A. Green, I'm hoping to grab him as my RB3 to fill the bye week hole.

I really like T. Bell, I'm curious how low you can get him though.

I'm going to take a flyer on Rookie Michael Bush as well. I think given the chance he'll perform.

 

[Kiddnets]

Lamont Jordan - uncontested starter for the first 4 weeks - chance to lock down the job - one year removed from a solid season.

Lamont Jordan - uncontested starter for the first 4 weeks - chance to lock down the job - one year removed from a solid season.

A year in which he caught 70 passes. He could have some nice value later on, especially if you've got plenty of Raider haters in a league.

 

[Bears_Man2]

Couple I've targetted in dynasty leagues are L.Booker and L.Washington.

For 2007, most have been mentioned: T.Bell, F.Taylor, W.Dunn, D.Foster.
