I think he's an RB2 this week and beyond. Dodds and Rotoworld rank him in the 40s this week. Who's right?
He's probably more explosive than Leonard, but he'll probably see way less touches and time on the field. He only played 11 snaps, he just happened to score and salvage it.I think he's an RB2 this week and beyond. Dodds and Rotoworld rank him in the 40s this week. Who's right?
Rainey had only been with the team a short time. His touches likely resembled his handle on the play book more than anything else. Rainey, I believe is the back to own, but I'd throw up in my mouth a little if I had to rely on either.He's probably more explosive than Leonard, but he'll probably see way less touches and time on the field.

I've stashed him in some deep dynasties, and grabbed Leonard to keep him away from other owners in other leagues, but I think they're going to have some sort of split that favors whoever catches passes--which will probably be Leonard.
Kid's got some burst. If he can perform well this week who knows. I think Leonard is avg at best and that's the only competition, so a big day could elevate Rainey to relevance. And he's facing a lowly Falcons this week, so the table is set. If not, punt. Finding an RB to even get double digit points this season is tough, so if there's a chance to grab one off the wire during week 11, I'm sure there are some RB starved teams out there that should be paying attention.He's the 3rd string RB that was recently cut for mcgahee. Anything could happen but I'd put the chances at around 15%. And even if he's "good" what's the upside? He's on a terrible team that won't have the game in their favor most of the time. He's not the receiving back and not the goal line back. His upside is likely what DWill was. Just isn't that appealing unless you're in dire straights.
Ya I get it and if I were desperate, sure take a shot. I'm just trying to temper expectations before a bandwagon forms. The situation is really bad.Kid's got some burst.

This week: underthis week or RoS?100 yards and a TD
He wasn't even cut for McGahee. He was cut for Fozzy Whitaker.He's the 3rd string RB that was recently cut for mcgahee. Anything could happen but I'd put the chances at around 15%.

I have CJ Anderson as my 6th RB and I kept him over trying snag Leonard or Rainey.
Leonard has done SQUAT for the last two years, and only has this chance because he is the 3rd man on the totem pole. He is ordinary, at best, and probably has this chance only because he has more experience.Leonard is solid not spectacular who has the trust of his coach in all situations. Rainey does not have that trust yet. Leonard wins on sheer volume of touches.

Rainey showed some juice last week - juice that Leonard clearly does not possess.
Great link ... whether Rainy is good or not this was excellent.Matt Waldmann POV on Rainey

I just picked him up... on the Rainey train as my #5RB
Didn't Rainey ending up in Tampa have something to do with Schiano? I imagine the GM and coach talk about these things.An important fact to keep tucked away in the back of your mind is the fact that Leonard is a "Schiano Man", another of his Rutgers guys. Look at how Schiano made a household name of Tim Wright in fantasy circles. Sheer bullheadedness could be the reason Rainey gets lost in the shuffle.
Good call ... you must be really good at this Fantasy Football thingRainey: 8 rushes for 24 yards, 0 TD.
Leonard will have 18 rushes for 72 yards and a TD, with 3 catches for another 30 yards.
Leonard is the back to own. It amazes me that you guys actually think Rainey has any value.

Fixed that for you.I think he's an RB1 this week and beyond. Dodds and Rotoworld rank him in the 40s this week. Who's right?
If he is a flash in the pan and he takes me to a championship this year......I don't care about next year.T with T said:Rainey is a flash in the pan imo.. first we had martin then james now rainey. He will be 3rd stringer next year. Book it fantasy squids.
I saw Western Kentucky play FAU in the new FAU stadium two years ago and I didn't think Al Morris was the best RB on the field that day.
Just Saying.
One of the problems with week 17; some teams have clinched; others have quit; guys want to stay healthy. We should see posts soon defending a week 17 SB.Went against Rainey and Rashad Jennings today. Both played against teams who have absolutely quit. Has something to do with it. Atlanta is a joke and Houston let's Jennings score from 80 on an empty backfield wildcat play? Note to self. Play guys against teams who have quit.
I saw somebody after you replied with "RoC". That post has since been deleted. Nice backpeddle. I think it was one of the FBG mods. At least you didn't delete your silly posts, I give you credit for that.This week: underthis week or RoS?100 yards and a TD
RoS.......under
