Have you ever carried 3 RB's from the same NFL team on your fantas (1 Viewer)

[tjdoren]

The whole Moreno/Maroney/Buckhalter situation has got me thinking about how much sense it would make to carry 3 RB's from the same team on a fantasy roster. Normally, even 2 RB's are questionable, unless it is an obvious, skilled handcuff who could step in and put up some start-worthy stats. While I would never advocate 3 RB's for an extended period, I could see it being okay for just 3-4 weeks max, while you are waiting to see how an injury and backup situation gets sorted out.

Can anyone think of times in the past when you have done this? Name the RB's, and how did it turn out for you?

I did this way too many times in the Denver Shanahan era

In 2003 I drafted Marshall Faulk with my #1 pick and then grabbed Lamar Gordon as his handcuff. Week 7, Faulk is injured, Gordon is banged up as well, so I grab Arlen Harris off waivers. Harris proceeds to go off for 3 TDs. I won my game and ended up winning the league.

ugh...a guy in my league has Hillis, Harrison and James Davis on his team. I don't get, not gonna pretend to. That's alot of roster space on questions.

the most obvious current Dynasty threesome is Choice, FJones, Barber because potentially all 3 could have value over the next three years

all the time in large roster dynasties i have seen this as they all three just need to have future chance at value

2010 Bradshaw, Jacobs, Ware

2009 CJ3, LWhite, Ringer

2007 LT, Turner, Sproles

Am right now with Dallas. Only cuz we have deep rosters...

 

[statman]

obv stewart/dw/goodson not too bad (though debatable if u need the 3rd)

Standard operating procedure in large roster dynasty leagues.

We have a taxi squad for rookies... the guy who has Grant already had Brandon Jackson, and drafted Starks and put him on his taxi squad. Think this made some sense

Not 3 RB's, but three players. Last year, Schaub, AJ and Daniels.

Right now I have Moreno, Buck, and Maroney on a redraft although Moreno is on an IR slot so I am actually only taking up 1 extra roster spot. I will drop the worse of Buck/Maroney after the weekend.

In larger dynasty leagues Nance, Starks, BJax, Grant, and Kuhn are all rostered and that STILL may not lead to their starter during the postseason and next year. Torain is worth a flier if KWilliams doesn't pan out once Portis breaks down.

I did it one year..... I learned my lesson & have not owned a Shanahan RB since. Nor is it likely I'll ever own a NEP RB....though I'll never say never.
