11 TDs in his last 10 games.

Double-digit scoring games in four straight and five of the past six.

More than 70 yards rushing in a pair of games against two of the leagues premier run defenses.

He runs hard and rarely has negative yardage play.

He's not a star talent and he's definitely helped by being on the same field with Tom Brady but he's a good RB, better than a lot of people may give him credit for being.

It may be time to re-evaluate his fantasy value going forward. He's only 25. Could he become a low-end RB1 next year? I'm thinking it's possible.

in before the merge

He's such a good goal-line back... never gets knocked back for negative yardage, good vision and hits the hole right when it opens. Also, he's never fumbled in his career. BB must love the guy.

I think BGE has proven he's a rock-solid RB2 who can be started every week regardless of the matchup. He put up strong fantasy numbers against the Steelers and Jets. I see no reason to sit him when the Patriots play the Bears and Packers coming up.

Indeed, he'll be good that game. There's no way he doesn't get all of the goal-line carries, he's just too reliable at this point.

The problems I see for that are:(1) it will probably remain an RBBC, and he probably will not continue to catch many passes - being removed from passing situations in favor of Woodhead; kind of Turner-like in that regard(2) the Pats have a lot of early round picks, and they could conceivably be in the running for Mark Ingram

start him vs Chicago?

If they draft a RB high next year I agree then it's time to scale back on Law Firm's upside. However, the RBBC doesn't worry me. He's producing very well despite the fact Woodhead also looks good. If it's those two going into next season I would have zero issues ranking Law Firm Top 15 at RB. He's a touchdown machine on a great offense who gets decent yardage most weeks. He's also proving to be matchup-proof. There's a lot to like about him if he's the starter going into 2011.

Cec and Bloom were all over this guy early on and I jumped on the law firm bandwagon. The only thing that concerns me heading into the playoffs is Taylor. Woodhead does not concern me as much as Taylor vulturing snaps but Belechek sees to really like this kid and he is getting his chance to shine.

Not sure why. Unless Law Firm sucks it up he's clearly the lead RB ahead of Taylor. The only reason Taylor sniffed the field last night was because they were up by about 200 points. The backfield belongs completely to Law Firm and Woodhead barring injury. I don't see any reason why Belichick would mess with something that is clearly working.

Any excuse to trot these out is a good excuse to trot these out.

Not my intent to hijack, but I'd guess that they would use an early round pick for more pressing needs (Mankins, upgrading D). I'd be optimistic that they keep BGJE as a somewhat-of-a-lead back role in 11.

BJGE has 699 rushing yards this season, needing to average 75 yards a game the rest of the way to get to 1000.

While it may not be easy, I'm wondering if Belicheck will try to get him to that milestone. Could be fantasy implications in terms of a continued heightened workload in the weeks ahead.
