Board Suggestion: Piece on Selvin Young/Denver Rb Situation (1 Viewer)

For a position that is muddled with bell, sapp and young, just wonderigif those smarter than me here can tell me what the hell is going on there. Imean the RB1 already had a minor knee injury and is one play away from elevating someone to 10 td and 1000 yards in 12 games.

But who?

Since Selvin young sounds like something that might be illegal even in mexico, I am gonna look in independently as well, but it defeinately disqualifies me from knowing the answer to this dilemma?

TIA

If Henry goes down, I'd expect all 3 of those guys to get some carries. None of them are extremely talented.

This guy is #2 and this does sound a lot liek a FWP case? :rolleyes: we do know that shanny was impressed at him for knocking a ball out of bounds instead of recovering it and the end of the game. Bein on skeletors good side could mean BIG things. And this guy is available in some WW's (2 of my 3 leagues)

Selvin Young is the #2 behind Henry.Bell and Sapp are more inclined to get short yardage carries but if Henry went down I would compare this situation to possibly Dallas, with Young getting the carries between the 20's and Bell/Sapp getting goalline work.BUT if Young continues to improve and impress I could see him getting a larger role if Henry were to go down (which I personally think is inevitable).
