Emerging Backup RBs - Week 5 (1 Viewer)

[BaBastage]

In the past game (week 4 for Norwood because of the bye) a few guys that have been on the radar are becoming more so.

Here's my take, please chime in.

Jerious Norwood - Had the big run that everyone's been waiting for. But it was at the end of a winning game. Will he get more reps as long as Dunn is healthy? I think maybe, but not many more than what he's already getting.

Lendale White - Stuck in a mess of RB's, but I think the coaches are clearly testing him out. Frankly, I was surprised that Henry had such a great game and originally thought week 5 would be White's shot. I still think White will be the starter by the end of the season, but Henry's game may have put the brakes on a bit.

Leon Washington - Was given his shot and statistically had a nice game. May be slightly padded because the Jags had the game well in hand and were probably playing more of a prevent d (But I didn't watch the game, so I could be wrong here - someone correct me if I am.) Still, I think he'll be the starting RB very soon, maybe next week.

Noah Herron - Few people saw this one coming. His sunshine time will be limited to Ahman Green's injury. Who knows? Green does have a bye week to heal.

My order of value through the end of the season:

Washington

White

Herron

Norwood

But I'd put Norwood 1st in a redraft league.

Anyone else you wish to add to the RB list, please do.

Did you mean you liked Norwood better in a Dynasty?

IMHO, yes. I like Norwood's position in an established, successful, run-based offense, and in another year or two I expect he'll overtake Dunn and be a stud.

I think Fargas needs to be on this list.

He got lots of looks and ran very very well.

did you see any replays from the Tenn game? much of Henry's yardage came out of the shotgun running to Freeney's side to make him hesitate in his pass rush and use his speed against him. i'm thinking this is an aberration, as teams will probably learn to bring an extra LB in the future and bottle up the draw to force Vince to make decisions through the air, and not on the ground where he's already proven effective.
